Not much, I do travel a lot for work so getting back home is a priority for me. When I am home I am usually do something related to the deer every day. I run trail cameras year round, I walk out to the food plot and put deer feed out, I use my head lamp to shine and see where the does are bedding when I go up to the barn to do chores at night. Oh sure I do other stuff I like to fish the Mississippi for smallmouth, I still fight forest fires as a hobby, I go to Florida to kayak and fish, beachwalk and snorkel 2-4 times a year. But if I am home I do something deer related every day.
When not in the woods hunting, I also spend some time fishing primarily Pan Fish, some kayaking, playing Softball in the summer, coaching my youngest daughter in Softball and probably picking up coaching her basketball next year. Chasing my older twin daughters to their activities, cross country, track, volleyball. And when the schedule allows, mow some grass and sit by a campfire enjoying some adult beverages.
Fishing and camping mostly but I'll try almost anything once. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Besides work, there are other things to do besides hunt? I work out so I can hunt more efficiently. I practice with my weapons should I need them for hunting (or defense) and I spend time with my family often doing the same. Started running some trail cams so I can know better where to hunt/or not hunt. Well then there's also chores. On the rare occasion I have other free time maybe some golf, fishing or camping.
I enjoy playing the piano, I also like to reload and shoot my guns. The last year or so my brother and I have been developing a piece of property that we bought, getting to knock down trees with and excavator and a dozer is some serious stress relief.
Work, golf, hang on the lake, fish. Own two seasonal businesses not a lot of time for anything during the summer.
Work ... I am actually one of those people who feeds off of my work. I absolutely love working and my job. That and spend time with my teenage daughters. A lot of our time together is working with their 4H animal projects. I really don't have any other hobbies or off season activities besides work and hunting. Generally if I am doing something it somehow ties to either hunting or work.
I do too much. Mostly horse back riding and dirt track racing. Those fill up my spring and summer right through beginning of bow season. So much so we hardly ever have time to scout. But, it's what I enjoy. Also do a few tractor pulls (mainly the fairs) with my garden tractor, some fishing on the lake, and fire department things.
Lifting weights, watch sports, camping, fishing, playing guitar, going to church. My oldest son turned 4 last year so I'm getting him into football and t-ball, love watching him and teaching him. After this month I'll have 3 kids so love spending every second I can with them.
We train horses take care of summer cattle. Haul the boy to as many 3D shoots as possible. And show livestock
Fitness volleyball( don't laugh it's a lot harder than it looks) Fishing Guns Ride horses Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I fish a little bit. Play some pickup basketball and attempt guitar. But hunting is 80% of my hobbies.
I play sand volleyball from May-September and I love it! Don't have a winter league anymore or I'd do that as well.
I used to play sand volleyball back in the day. We had a pretty good team we played 4 people in a 6 player league. We had a nice run but then one of the teammates died of cancer.
Our church youth group plays about once a week,usually Thursday nights and then I get to play at another event every Friday night,about 6/10 hours a week all year round.My older brother and my sister both play as well so that makes for some good sibling rivalry.
