Now that I'm retired, I can pursue all the "other things" than I had very limited windows for when working.

Obvious to many here, I have an affinity for accumulating box calls.

My brother and I operate a small, family Christmas tree farm.

Just the mowing and maintaining here at the house is half a full-time job.

Mowing fields, roads and doing habitat improvement on the family property could be a full-time job if I let it.

Love bowhunting mature whitetails.

Love trapping nest predators.

Like to hunt bourbon on occasion and sip it more often than that.
Sounds like a great way to live life to me.

It's early on........   But it's workin' out, so far.
PA elitist since 1979

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

I love camping, hiking, and backpacking. We go on a couple trips a year as a family to a state park somewhere. I play guitar and do some woodworking stuff which I'm way behind on right now.

Other than watching my kids and their sports which almost year round I enjoy doing triathlons but my main love is biking whether it be a road or gravel ride.

I am trying to get back into camping, I will not be able to sleep on the ground anymore, those days are over for me, but I am slowly getting things together. One thing I will have to get is a small power source to power my oxygen and C-Pap machines though. I found one I think I like, now just to get it. I was looking at hammock setups but since I am a walking accident I am not so sure that is a good idea. I can play a little Electric Bass Guitar, very little though, just a 3 bar boogie, smoke in the water, taught myself to play The Star Spangled Banner using octaves but that was a long time ago.

I so miss riding my mountain bike, it was not an expensive one, just a GT Timberline but man I lover that bike, lot of good memories and gave birth to the phrase "Fat man can fly"

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
