What is your hobby? - 03/24/19 06:27 PM
Outside of trapping what hobbies do you have?
I'm a private pilot, dabble in amateur radio, fishing...always loved trout fishing. I have not trapped in recent years but revisiting trapperman.com and pullling out snares and pictures reminiscing a little.

Work, work, work some more. Then it's trapping, YouTube, and chicks.
Shooting and squirrel hunting with my flintlock, crafting powder horns and muzzleloading accoutrements, playing guitar, and lately I have a burgeoning interest in woodwork.
But lately between work and helping my terminally ill father-in-law, everything else has been put on the back burner.

Re: What is your hobby? - 07/12/19 03:22 AM
Harbor Freight finally let one use a 10% coupon on their band saw mill. I bought it last Jan, I only had 3 decent logs left after cutting firewood last winter. I cut those up and finished the roof and walls on the chicken house. Its been to muddy to get any logs out of the bottoms, I don't won't to cut it up. Now its too hot! So my project now is to add 10 ft to the 8 1/2 ft tracks on it. I have the metal but again its too hot, but those rods sure run good in this weather, lol. Its something to do and its a great way to make new friends, esp. if they need boards. Every little boy needs a saw mill for a hobby.

Re: What is your hobby? - 07/16/19 02:20 AM
I gave up falconry after 50 years. Ride the motorcycle and trap moles.
For 10 years, my hobby was guns. I spent that time buying guns, shooting guns, even got certified as a firearms instructor. I had a loose list in my head of the guns I wanted to own and expanded my collection into two big gun cabinets. About a year ago, I bought the last gun on my list. When I got it out to the parking lot of the gun shop, I realized I was now done. For several months I wondered what my next hobby would be.
Then, I bought a 17' jon boat last fall that needed a lot of work. It sat, ignored all winter but for the last couple of months I've been working on that in my free time. I removed everything from the hull and started with a coat of paint, new side console, did a partial rebuild on the outboard motor, made repairs to the trailer, rewired everything, added navigation lights, deck lights, fish finder, gps, radio, and a bunch of other stuff. I think I'll have it in the water next week for it's maiden voyage. I like to crab and fish but have always had a real small jon boat with a battery trolling motor before this one. I have a feeling that this is going to be my hobby for the next few years.
I also have two part time retail businesses with my wife. I think business can be a hobby if you really enjoy it. I do.
