Hunting isn't for everyone, neither is fishing. But those that participate usually get some extra exercise and some real tasty treats. They definitely
contribute to the economy as both activities require specialized gear. The anti-hunters? Doesn't cost a cent to "mean mouth" hunters. Heck, they don't
even have to buy a license.

Exactly!
I've introduced many to fishing. There were some that got nothing out of it and others that were hooked for life. It's a mystery.
The problem is that those who 'never got it' judge those who 'got it'. The problem is that those who 'don't get it' don't really understand those who
'get it'. And so there is this enormous gulf between the two. To truly understand a hunter you have to be a passionate hunter. Most hunters and
fishermen pay no attention to the critics - because they don't understand hunting and fishing.
I often like to remember this episode from my youth. I wanted to introduce my best friend Mike to fishing. This happened at the cabrillo barge in San
Pedro. We were fishing for croakers with hand lines. I showed him how to bait the hook and lower the line 3 feet off the bottom. Anyway, sometime
around 8AM he pulls up his bait, looks at his wristwatch and proclaims " This bait has been on my hook now for 2 hours and 17 minutes." I was
dumbfounded. Needless to say Mike never became a fisherman. It just wasn't meant to be.

Get a grip. Was born and raised in the south. Didn't have air conditioning till I was in my teens. I know what heat is. Shed a few pounds of blubber

---June-August period in Texas was hottest on record in U.S.---
BY BETSY BLANEY
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK -- It's been a year of superlatives for Texas: worst single-year drought, largest agricultural losses and most destructive wildfires -- blazes
that have damaged millions of acres and more than a thousand homes.
Now, as if Texans didn't already sense it, the official word is in: The state has just endured the hottest June through August on record in the
nation, the National Weather Service said Thursday.
