Does anyone else not mesh well with their dad when hunting/ fishing?

First off I look forward to fishing and hunting with my dad often. I love Turkey hunting with him and we Turkey hunt probably 10-15 days a year together. We fish often together.
But man we just don’t mesh well, as in agree on the same tactic or plan for the day. As in he always wants to give up when I want to keep fishing a spot, or vice versa. He wants to move in on a bird and I want to sit still, I want to move deeper he wants to move shallower. I wish I didn’t care but I haven’t been able to fish and hunt as much as I’d like the last 2-3 years so everytime I go I usually have a strong plan and want to stick with it, and man we can’t agree. He may or may not even know I’m frustrated by it because I’m there to get away and have fun. But it’s always in the back of my mind.
I enjoy being there with him and BSing about the world outside of what we are doing, it’s just our tactics rarely seem to mesh. Just venting I guess because we are fishing Sunday and can’t agree on the plan. Lol. Anyway, good luck this weekend to everyone.

Yep. But I long ago accepted when I am hunting with my Dad, he is correct.

My dad was born and raised in Baltimore... Be happy your dad goes in the woods with you.

I wish my dad even wanted to hunt with me

My dad never fished with me. He hated it.
I learned that shite on my own and I’m still horrible at it but love it. I put crappie structure 12 feet deep by the dock.
I built the bream pea gravel pads in four feet.
I never did it when I had time. I do it now when I have LESS time but it’s for them.
However,I have tk Get the kids to catch something within 20 minutes or they’re gone.
Therefore, I’m right,dammit. Throw that worm in 3 feet of water under that tree under 15 inches if bobber.
Or they are fishing with worms off the deep side of my dock, 10 feet out.

I’ll tell you this. I used to love going canoe camping with the guys non three night river trips.
I cant really get away but I have the kids addicted to river camping for one night.
They run barefoot on the island and swim in the current while I’m setting up the hammocks.
It’s the best thing I do.

Have you ever held a flashlight for him?

My old man loved to fish and I was lukewarm on fishing. I’d go mostly to shoot the .22 and spend time with him. So I was happy to be along for the ride. He passed away last year. Don’t even worry about tactics. It’s not important at all.
Is more important than anything else.

Hunting and fishing were two of the few situations where we worked well together.
PS, be glad your dad is still alive to hunt and fish with you.

The sobering reality is you'll likely be hunting and fishing in the future without him.
Enjoy the time you have now and base "success" on the memories made, not what gets put in the ice chest.

I’d give almost anything for another hunt with mine.

My dad had a stroke just as he was retiring and can’t hunt and fish anymore. Just be thankful yours can still do it with you.

I fish plastics almost all of the time. My dad burns a spinnerbait. He throws 10 casts to my 1, over ever target on the water.
Also gets pretty ticked off at me if I let a 2.5 yr old buck walk lol.
But it's still great and would change anything.

Just be glad you still have him there. Lost mine 8 years ago. I would give just about anything to sit in a fence row and shot doves with my Dad on a Saturday afternoon. He had dementia later in life and was hard to deal with. Lord, I miss him.

My grandfather taught me how to hunt and fish. My father wasn’t around so I learned from a 60 year old marine.
By the time I was a teenager we agreed on pretty much everything because he taught me everything.
Man I’d do just about anything for one more morning top water bite with him.
Got a son of my own now. Can’t wait to teach him the same stuff my grandfather taught me and yell at him for the same bs
Just enjoy the time while you can amigo.

When I was younger yea. My dad had his own business and in order to take time off he had to work longer hours (already worked 12 hours per day 7 days a week). He was just irritable when we went. It got to the point I’d make an excuse why I couldn’t go. Years later that was reconciled but he couldn’t really fish anymore. We still hunted some. I’m thankful i has an opportunity to move near him for about 10 years.

Mine passed away last January at 89. I miss him bad to this day and still find myself wanting to call to hear his voice just one more time.
I understand your frustration cause most of us have been there. Enjoy what you can while you can even if it may not be on your terms.

It’s time for your dad to listen to your point of view. Lots of ways to skin a cat.
