What all do you do?
What all do you do in the outdoors as far as hunting and fishing goes and how much do you do it? Also, what is your favorite?
I bowhunt whitetails, turkey hunt, bass fish, crappie fish, squirrel hunt, bream fish, dove hunt, duck hunt, rabbitt hunt, trot line for catfish, and frog gig.
In order of favorites and most time spent:
Bowhunting Whitetails: 150 - 200hours per year in stand
Turkey Hunting: 12 - 15 days per year in the field
Bass Fishing: 15 - 20 trips per year
Crappie Fishing: 5 - 10 trips per year
Frogging- 4 -5 trips per year
Everything else 1-2 trips per year

In order of favorites:
Deer hunting
Bass/Walleye fishing
Dove/Pheasant/Quail hunting
Catfish/Crappie fishing
Duck/Goose hunting
I fish more days of the year than I hunt, but that will change in the coming years as I put more time into deer hunting/scouting/photographing.

RE: What all do you do?
I primarily bowhunt whitetails....
I will usually get in 10 bass fishing trips a summer and 5 or so crappie fishing trips...
I usually dove hunt 1-2 days and might rabbit hunt 1-2 days......
When not hunting or fishing, I'm usually on my property fixing things up, scouting, etc.

RE: What all do you do?
I bowhunt for deer about 50% of my time outdoors. My other 50% is spent releasing pheasants, quail, and chuckar at our hunt club while I SHOULD be out deer hunting.
During the summer I pick up a fishing pole and do some bass fishing a couple times, but not as often as I used to.
