Default RE: What all do you do?

I wish you would have asked this question 7 years ago before I had children. But, today I...

Bowhunt about 15 times from Sept to Nov (mostly half days)
Shotgun hunt for deer 20 times from Nov to Feb (some half days, but mostly all day)
That's it...

7 years ago I'd hunt twice the amount above and during the summer I would saltwater fish in NJ from May until November. But, I had to make a choice once the kids were born. One is six and the other 2, both boys and will one day accompany me hunting. I opted to let go of fishing for the most part and be a Dad and husband most of the spring and summer to let my wife do the things she wanted to do. I then escape for hutning as mentioned above. Thsi trade-off with the wife has worked very well and there are times she wants me to go hunting as she knows I am not as grumpy if I miss a weekend in the woods!
