Bowhunting is my main hobby. Not to mention all its side issues of arrow building and off season shooting. I generally like to hunt deer, so black powder and rifle hunting follow. Then comes trout season and camping. It gets mixed up a little with canada goose hunting and cottontails. I sold my Harley for more time with the family, which is always number one.

I have a year round mindset for bowhunting though. I
You going to finish that thought? Jk.

Mauser, you sound EXACTLY like me. Guns, woodworking, archery, fishing, etc. Not nearly enough time, and more importantly, not nearly enough money.

A 20" smallie is my equivalent of P&Y buck.
I like that. In MO a 20" is pushing about 7 or 8 years old I would guess? Big fish are as wise as deer in my book. Although I've caught numerous smallies over 20" and haven't shot a P&Y yet.

Fishing comes much more natuarally to me as far as where to cast, what to fish, how to fish it than trying to figure out a buck.

It is my number 1 thing to do. I love it. I think about it constantly. Everytime I enter the woods I feel like I ama ninja at age 10 I was a competitive athlete until I was 30 years old, but hunting kept tugging and pulling me from the athletic battlegrounds. It finally won me over about 4 years ago. Bowhunting was sent into my spirit by an awesome god.

A 20" river smallie is definitely a heck of a fish. MI has a few rivers with WI type P&Y numbers. As far as lakes go, it's hard NOT to catch a handful of 20" smallies in late May through late June...even on a fly.

A few nice river smallies caught on flies.









A 22.5", 6lb+LSC pig caught on a fly.



Some nice UP lake smallies.

Hunting, and for the most part Bowhunting is my#1 hobby...butat this stage in my life, I share that probably 50% with my kids sports.I have 2 good athletes, and we haveyear round sports going on as well, which is alot of fun.I don't have time for much else right now.

Edit to say: DANG those are some nice smallies!
I love to fish too...but I just don't have the time to do it as much as I'd like right now. I used to bass fish competitively, and loved it. Never caught any big smallies like that...have caught quite a few big largemouth. Good stuff!
