Was just wondering what other hobbies you all have besides hunting and fishing.

I used to keep aquariums. At one time I had 4 going. Then I just kinda "got out of it". Last week I was moving some stuff around and found my box of Aqarium supplies and decided to set up a tank.
I only had one 55 gallon tank left and it needed repaired. So on saturday I fixed the tank, set it up and it is now cycling. Might just end up with multiple set ups again.

I own motorcycles. I used to thoroughly enjoy riding them. Now I walk around them in the garage frustrated to see them covered in dust. Sometimes life isn't fair. dang responsibilities!

I have slowed down a bit with the kids but for years I was pretty active and somewhat successful competetive duck and goose caller. Been all over and met some awesome people along the way. Cant wait for the kids to move out so I can get back in it.

I do woodworking. Build cabinets, dressers, desks....you name it. I have made all the cupboards and cabinets in my parents house, and will start on my own house hopefully this year. I used to make hand made writing pens. Made a little money with it too. Now I mostly dabble in a little bit of everything.

I used to do some small wood projects like turkey calls. Made some box and scratch box call and also some wind chimes.

Scratch box made out of Bacota wood


The chimes are old alumminum arrows / cut out the arrow head on a scoll saw


Made the putter for my son when he was palying golf in High School / It is solid Cocboloa

When I'm not hunting, thinking about hunting, or on TOO....

I've been getting into photography the last few years, and hopefully can continue to develop more of this hobbie. I just really like taking pictures for some reason. But man, all the cool stuff I want costs sooo much.

With my kids, I try to get them involved in anything outdoors. Just going for hikes, picking berries, canoeing, fishing, gardening, etc.

This spring I'm going to help coach my son's soccer team. It's a tough commitment with my work / travel schedule, but he's growing up too quick & I don't want to look back one day and say "I wish I would have..." I played all the way though college so it's time to give back and get involved. I just have to harness my competitiveness and remember they're only 6 & 7 year olds. rotflmao

cycling, backpacking, gardening, painting, photography, scouting... funny thing is having a kid hasn't hindered my hobbies, just makes it more fun sharing them with my son.
