Good question. My buddy calls it wishing haha
June 21, 2022 at 9:17 am #2131048How come deer hunting with a gun is called “deer hunting” but deer hunting with a bow is called “bow hunting”.
June 21, 2022 at 9:22 am #2131051What do you call a fish with no eyes?
Fsh.

Some folks just cant stay on topic, sheesh.

Deer hunting with a gun is called Shotgun Deer, Muzzleloader or Rifle Deer hunting… just as Crossbow hunting and bow hunting are… they are all Deer hunting. (Seinfeld episode… Frank Costanza… you got the Hen, the Rooster and the Chicken… you always hear about the rooster goes with the hen..so who is having sex with the chickens ?)
June 21, 2022 at 9:42 am #2131061Better question is why do they call catching crab on Deadliest Catch fishing? Wouldn’t that be Crabbing?

One of my favorite Dad jokes, just make sure you say it like Fssssshhhhhhhhhh

Or why is it called hunting at all? Like fishing, shouldn’t it be deering, or pheasanting, or ducking (double check your typing on that one
)?June 21, 2022 at 9:57 am #2131066Fishing is fun but going catching always seems like a better time.
June 21, 2022 at 10:27 am #2131078No, crabbing is what my wife does if I go fishing too much.
I didn’t think there was such a thing. 😁🎣

And this is why you are the best catch anyone could get from a day of fishing!

June 21, 2022 at 5:11 pm #2131153Maybe all you Neanderthals call it fishing but the us sophisticated folk correctly name it “angling” (sips tea with pinky extended). Just joshing… that is a good question though. Funny how philosophical young kids can be.
June 21, 2022 at 6:51 pm #2131164Be careful Sharon.I would hate to see you fall for all this IDO charm,there all fisherman as you know.
June 21, 2022 at 7:10 pm #2131166If we are having a slow day my boys always say…..
“Dad, that’s why it’s called fishin’ and not ‘catchin.’
June 21, 2022 at 7:54 pm #2131173This is the kind of question that makes you question everything and eventually break down in an existential crisis. He is smarter than us all.
June 21, 2022 at 8:50 pm #2131181Fishing sounds productive, drinking with your friends in a boat doesn’t.

LOL I think to be among fishermen is to feel at home. 😊

June 22, 2022 at 8:11 am #2131237Well this last weekend I would have called it blood drive for the starving black flies of Green Bay. Good God they were awful.

Hard to call what is worse having those things eat you alive or the fly hatches where your eating them and picking them out of your ears!

Exactly, you get what I’m going through!
June 22, 2022 at 12:09 pm #2131312because, “throwing thousands of dollars each year into a hobby that provides the opportunity to hook a fish and pull it out of it’s home in order for you to experience joy” doesn’t have the same ring to it?
