    Many times I wondered what is the correct motivation for creative writing. I can't come to a conclusion about it. Are you writing for your audience or are you writing to get it out of you..

    Well you're preaching to the choir here if your premise is to prove a point. Of course you're right about everything. I think in this society "the kill" instinct can be partially redirected to sports, with other people to business, others yet to sex etc etc. As for the rest I'm sure you've heard "The meek shall inherit the earth." I don't think cats are very domesticated but there exists a variety of temperaments where some are better suited for survival in the wild than others, just like with dogs. There are indeed cats that will not react to a mouse.

    I awoke early to the sound of our cats meowing plantively

    You definitely have a book in you based on that sentence alone :) I just think you'll run out of steam with this subject because it is best felt and experienced rather than talked about. Hemingway wrote something to this effect. You being a hunter will lose focus writing about this subject because you'd be catering to those who don't know.

    It's tempting to put your face on that pic, you know the one from the padi card <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin"> Although a current one would be just as good jejeje

    It's hard to recommend a gun for conditions we're not familiar with, and not knowing the size and behavior of the fish you'll be going after. The link you posted, I'm sure none of us have seen those guns in person. Some of the guns there are imersion, I realized that when I noticed this silly gun. There's an imersion dealer in Florida but the guns are not popular.



    Do you want to know what guns we use here? Or are you only looking at what's available in your area?


    What you call a spool we call a reel. No, a reel is not absolutely necessary. I don't like reels, other people do. I use a float line and float. On the above speargun the float line would be attached to the hole at the bottom of the handle.

    When I was a lad I did some night security work with a dog. It really messed with my head and I decided never to work night shift again. Even though I had all the conditions and tried I couldn't sleep on the job. It messed up my day too. The money better be worth it Aaron.

    hmm.. a wand? Are you leaning towards something like this Aaron? <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">





    Yes it's allowed. Theoretically you need a fishing license which used to be around $50 but no one is going to bother you about it. Where in Cuba are you going?

    Good old Dersu Uzala. I love the way everything is people to him, wind, fire.. Which makes me want to see the movie again.


    Went to check my DVDs and I do have it :thumbup:


    Yes, something about that vibration.. Not sure of when the best time to listen to it would be. Maybe before a hunt? They should have something like that for spearfishers. I'm not aware of any primal sounds associated with diving though.

    Is it SHAMAN VOICES : a journey in the steppe? How about ripping it and uploading the MP3s?


    Never mind, I already started downloading it <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
