i never have much luck shed hunting i usually just find one when im riding my 4 wheeler in tall grass and my tire pops and i look and i find a shed
last year i just sat in my stand and watched deer. even if your not shooting them seeing them is darn enjoyable. whenever i see deer, even if im driving or whatever, not hunting i still get a little adrenaline rush!

We have done Foster Care for teens several years & i figure out things for our kids to do that lets them be kids. Spent weekend at hotel& they swam & used the workout room & we all ATE out. Just little getaways. Winter Water PArk weekend.Hopefully a winter fishing trip where it's warm during their school spring break (March) & maybe a Javalina/hog Bowhunt for me.I plan my off season hog Bowhunts in Tx or Oklahoma-revamp my Bowhunting equipt. & get the kids that are interested into shooting a Bow.
I am retired from regular work, work so we have lots going on.

Ice fishing, some squirrel hunting. I use to throw In 2 different dart leagues but that came to an end this year. Next year I might get back Into It, I miss It big time! Most of my time In the winter gets sucked up cutting and splitting wood for the following winter. It's allot of work but It's gotta get done.

fly fishing for native brook trout, or rainbows. its never too cold to sneak up on a trout in a 10' wide stream.

Josh...curious. What setup do you have for small streams like that? I'm looking to get into flyfishing, but I'm debating between going with a 5wt or 3-4wt, because I fish smaller streams like that often, and I would imagine having a smaller 5'6" to 6'6" 3-4wt would be ideal, but would also be a bit tough to cast in more open water.


Anyways, for me, I shoot, work on my bow, lift (year round really), do some outdoor photography, scout, etc. Lately, though, all I'm doing is house buying paperwork/meetings[&:]
