Swamphunter Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I was listening to a commerical on the radio today trying to offer home loans from a local bank. Part of the commercial was a guy whining saying he wanted to purchase the, log home in the country with the "fishing cabin", on it. It was said several times and it just struck me as they were anti's and just avoided using the word "hunting cabin". I have never in my life heard the phrase "fishing cabin". Maybe I am wrong...but I have heard the word "hunting cabin" thousands of times, especially in the area where I reside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: Afraid to mention hunting? Well, seems to me that if you are anti-hunting then you would be anti-fishing as well. I mean, hey----fish have feelings too right??? I wouldn't read too much into that. Some people are just clueless about outdoor living and the proper "terminology" that goes with it. BTW....we have lots of fish-camps down here as well as hunt-camps. Just depends if one is located on the water or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDMAworks4me Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: Afraid to mention hunting? I have heard of people calling there cabin a fishing cabin. There are a lot of people out there that fish but do not hunt. I have heard that commercial a bunch of times also but did not take it the way that you did, it's funny how peope interpert things different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: Afraid to mention hunting? Yeah, sounds like they are trying to be politically correct to please the anti's too, but failed in the attempt, because they are a bit ignorant to the fact that these anti-hunting organizations are against the eating of "ALL" flesh and animal by-products...period So many companies are doing similar things with their advertising these days. I guess they figure they don't want to lose potential buyers based on the wording of their adds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: Afraid to mention hunting? I guess it all depends on the area. Some people, all they do is fish so it would be pointless to call the place they stay at when they are fishing a "hunting cabin" and vice versa. Maybe they are trying to be PC, maybe not, maybe the owner of the bank is a fisherman and not a hunter, maybe the owner of the ad agency or the person in charge of the campaign is a fisherman. I wouldn't read too much into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughboy1956 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: Afraid to mention hunting? Yep, there are fishing cabins down here. I think they would sell a hunting cabin if they said is was one. I don,t think peta wants a cabin in the woods IMUO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: Afraid to mention hunting? Actually, I've heard of the term fishing cabin. Maybe because I grew up right near Lake Erie and the islands of Lake Erie. In fact, my uncle has a fishing cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: Afraid to mention hunting? I always thought a fishing cabin was something you pulled behind a snowmobil on a lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: Afraid to mention hunting? johnf: That is a Ice house :-) They do have an "otter Cabin" that is an ice house however: I have to say here in Northern MN, I do indeed head every Nov. to the "hunting cabin" and every may for walleye opener we head to the "fishing cabin".......two different places....HOWEVer, I have buddies who make the same trip to the "hunting cabin" in the fall, and the "fishing cabin" in the spring....and they are the same cabin! I wouldn't look to far into those words! Any "cabin" is a good cabin in my book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: Afraid to mention hunting? Would also think it would depend on the area Ken. There are fishing cabins over in Arkansas I have seen advertisements for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
