Keep in mind that a true hunter or angler will under no circumstance want to share their secret spot with you. That is unless there is an abundant supply or they are just really good comrades. In my journey thus far, I have encountered many strange persons in the sport of fishing and hunting that I have now become good friends with. This is all due in part to forgetting something such as a pliers or even running out of bait of pellets. While, standing up to fish on the jetty, near the pond or spending the night in the forest you will encounter some new friends. At the end of the day, we are a community and are passionate about the sport. While at it as a female amongst males I noticed some common topics that they usually talk about. These include:

• Their biggest catch- many of them can go on and on about how many fishes or animals they have caught, how they caught it and an entire story about the entire scenario. This includes the direction the fish or animal was going and how they angled themselves to reel it in in addition to the specific bait or trap they used for the fish or animal and its tales.
• Their pieces of equipment- they like to boast on their expensive equipment and where they bought it, almost competitively saying that their equipment will be able to catch than the others.
• Health- the majority of persons that I have been around while hunting are older folks who have some sort of health issue and due to their masculinity, they shy away from their families from talking about it. Therefore, when they are in groups for an extended period of time they decide to talk about their health with their comrades and all the natural remedies that they can use or which is the best doctor in Trinidad for that situation.
• Herbal medicines- they speak of all the old time remedies that their grandmothers and ancestors used in the past and all the places in the bush that they can find them.
• Some personal experiences- they usually talk about experiences from all aspects of life and how far they have come from in their journey.
• How long they  have been in the sport
• The hunting ban-they speak on how the hunting ban is beneficial to them but how some hunters create a "bad name" for the others when they over hunt and underscore. Also, how there should be fishing legislation and updated information on fishing for research.
• Tips for hunting or fishing based on their experiences
• How to cook certain types of animals- techniques and seasonings, spices and if to cook it in a wooden oven or stove
