Title: What other things have you had a passion for?
Post by: ThicketThrasher on February 19, 2011, 12:10:25 PM
It seems most everyone on this board is passionate about turkey hunting. In your life what other things have you had that same kind of drive for.

I went at golf pretty hard for a while and really loved it, then it turned to grouse hunting. Fly fishing was in there also. Now its pretty much just turkey hunting. I find it really hard to be that crazy about all of those things at the same time.

I am passionate about about hunting deer with Walker hounds. Its a dieing tradition, but its something about hearing your dogs run a deer. Its even better if you get to kill a buck in front of your hounds. Its a year round job taking care of them but well worth it!

I enjoy upland game hunting, rabbit hunting, deer hunting, and waterfowl hunting in addition to turkey hunting.  I have also enjoyed collecting guns (in a modest and limited way).

I'm a big time fan of getting out and finding unique items with my metal detector. I really like to get out and explore around old home sites I find way back in the woods when i'm hunting. I like to combine scouting and detecting, a great way to spend the day in the woods.

I tried golf for a couple years, but I stink at it pretty bad...

I've always loved fishing. Especially because my bride loves it too.
I'd really like to try fly fishing...get us some waders and rod n reels.

Love golf also, Bow hunting...there's nothing I like better than being in a tree.

Pushing life to the edge, "thrill seeking".  It's bit me in the rear a few times but it ain't killed me yet.

Cars, helped my dad build a 1969 Camaro z-28 (DZ302-4 speed) and a 1979 Camaro (350-auto).  I used to fish but quit and I am feeling the need to start again.  Turkey hunting will always lead the way with deer hunting (archery mostly, a little gun hunting) following that.
