Hunting, fishing and family activities

I'd like to say that I'm an old school hunter and fisherman, but try not to take all of the fun out of it for others.

I like to relax. Although I may be allergic to eating fish, I like to relax and commune with the peacefulness of fishing.

I like to take trips with my family and build pleasant memories that will last a lifetime.
