Total failure!!
I have tried ranking my interests over the years, and have given up!
You see, I love it all, and pounce on every chance i get to get into the field , no matter what it is.
I just like being away from the city and hunting or fishing , it doesn't matter with what .

Heck, I can't even decided on whether I like a 45/70 or a 6.5wildcat better, as long as it's comoing out of a single shot rifle!

Seriously Dick...it would depend on my mood that day...what I'd been doing more of in the weeks previous.....what the opportunities held. I'm with cat on this one...they all sound good. How about a little cast and blast?

Well, let's seee.
Although the sucess rate is much lower, my first choicee is
A:muzzle loader ,as long as it is still hunting , no tree stand.
B: would be bowhunting, same caveat as A!
C:Upland, but I have to do it over a dawg with a BPC or muzzle loading shotgun.
D:Waterfowling, same caveat as C!
E: river fishing
D: Still wwater fishing
F:Salt water fishing
But that will change as soon as I get up, havve a coffee, and take another look a the list!!!

Tied for first place goes to Bowhunting for Big Game and Calling for Predators (rifle).

2nd would be interest in guns, bows, and other related 'hunting gear'.

Thats it right now, don't think about anything else. Quit fishing to hunt, shoot upland for camp supper (a given imo), and the rifle for big game ranks very low on my list but i may try it out this fall for a sheep hunt or two? Still not sure its 'me' yet or not...could be bow i carry regardless of zone?

For myself,

E
B
A
C
F
G
D

Last two are not high on my list as one never salt water fished and two, do not like waterfowl hunting at all as I am not a fan of the meat.
