As of the last couple years my hobbies have changed, though bowhunting has always been my #1 Hobbie and 3-D was #2 but since my oldest daughter has gotten involved in competition gymnastics that is my #2 hobby..

#1- Family- Daughter's gymnastic's, Rv-ing-we take the camper a lot in the off season and camp out, Vacationing- We take several trips in ther summer in addition to camping, Friend&Family- We host most holidays at our house and always love to have a good get together and there are some cold beers consumed occasionally.

#2- Hunting- The place I have leased has all types of exotic animals that can be hunted year round, I try to go and hunt as much as possible in the off season till it gets too hot!!

#3- Old vehicle's- I bought a 74' International scoutII in 07' and as time allows I have been working to upgrade and fix it up.

#4- 4/Wheelin- We will go a few times a year and take the quads and just ride and try to find a little mud with friends

#5- I live on a little over 6 acres with a shop and of course our house and this is a constant project. We are constantly coming up with new stuff to do around the place, The one that we are working on now is saving to add a large covered outdoor recreational area attached to the house (1500 sq. ft.). It will be awesome when done though....

I have many other passions but these are current thing that I am into. Of course as the kids get older my extra time seems to dwindle

Hunting by far is my #1 hobby/passion. Archery (target) is a close second. Additionally, I love planting/working the land (I'm a bit lucky to have grown up on 90acres with farm equipment). Unfortunately I've somewhat backed away from fishing more and more each year, but I want to get into flyfishing, and I feel that will really get me more motivated.

I enjoy Photography (big purchase coming tonight there), graphic design, baseball, hiking, camping, used to offroad, but got out of that due to money issues.

Basically anything and everything I can do outside.

Spending time with my fiance is definitely a plus, although it has been mostly weekends only except summers for the past 6 years That will all change this spring when she graduates!

My wife and I enjoy team roping and training horses, used to ride rough stock competively but now I just do it around the house (breaking horses). This is a pic from a ranch bronc competition (the date is not correct)...

What are you purchasing? Camera? Lens?

Both. Finally getting into the DSLR world (I even have decent experience shooting with them, I just never owned my own). Nothing super special, but a 30D with 1300 clicks, couple of cards, and a new 28-135IS. Should get me started for right now. I wanted the 5fps capability without the 40D/50D/D90 price tags. Pretty excited.

Very cool. I purchased my first DSLR this past March...400D. Been having a ton of fun with it too! About half the photos in my gallery were taken with it. Have fun with the new camera and share some pics!

Vito1, awesome pix on your website, very cool!


My only passion is hunting/shed huntingthese days,it used to be football as wellin my H.S. and college days. My priorities in life comebefore my passionthough which is myFamily ie, Dee, Jess and Ty. We as a familyhave a few hobbies we really enjoy. We love to watch sports, mainly MMA and all levels of football from H.S. to PRO, we follow JR in Nascar too.My son is the Quarterback on his 7-8 year oldflag football team and he isdoing great and his little brother will be right there with him next year. The boys and I really enjoy shooting bows together. My boys have also rekindled my childhood love for fishing, We fished a ton this summer and had a blast. My wife and Ireally enjoy hunting, snowmobiling together, boat rides on the lake and eating out now and then. We also enjoy working on our home and I love working on my property, farming, logging, etc.

Thanks! I also designed the site.

Planning for our first bundle of joy, which is on the way in 6 months! Other than that bass fishing , and I have been known to sit at the blackjack table every once in a while.
