    Name up to 5 things in your life more important than hunting.


    1. My wife
    2. My kids
    3. My cell phone (I just could not live without the darn thing)
    4. My job (but not by much)

    Honorable mention but does not top hunting - Football, beer, our house.


    Go

    God.
    My Family.
    My Career.
    My Friends.
    Hunting.

    All else I can do with or without, although Alcohol and Sports HAS to rank right up there with Women all competing for that 5th part. I decided to include women under friends to slip hunting in the top 5 though, haha.

    I'd like to say education, but deep down hunting tops it right now. I need to change that though.

    I'm drawing a blank after that though

    As the story was told to me by a couple Missouri boys....
    They were loading up to drive to Island 10 to fish with us. Eugene was a little late getting out of the house. The rest of the Missouri guys gave him a little grief about having to get one last toe to toe in with the little woman. Finally Eugene told them he was taking a dump. He said, "You know... sometimes a good country $hit is better than $ex". They drove on for perhaps at least 50 more miles and the guy I say is a dead ringer for Slim Pickens said.... "You know Eugene. I been thinkin' about what you said. I think either I don't know how to $hit or you don't know how to F---." A fart can be liberating. LOL

    Interesting question, and the more thought I give it I find it hard to rank things because I rarely feel like I am forced to choose one thing over another. In an urgent situation though, hunting would take a back seat to my parents, siblings, a few close friends & my dog.
