spending time on Maui till april,pig hunting with a long blade.then drive to montana ,Idaho look over where ill go for this years hunt.back home fix stuff and reload and shoot..
Then with a couple friends will go to Cody wy for the 4th and then down to Tombstone on the Harleys.;.
   Maybe go on a guided hunt for elk or go solo.?

Metal detecting, just a different kind of hunting.

Photography. I'll take a good photo trip over a low end or even medium quality hunt any day.  :)

I agree with that %100 Bean. I'm just getting into the photography game and man I could take pictures of bulls and bucks all day everyday and never want to pull the trigger on one. The landscape makes it pretty easy to snap some real keepers.

With a really busy kid and family, I seem to have more trouble doing hunting related stuff during hunting season these days.  The off season is just easier for me psychologically it seems. Stressing out about finding time to hunt is hard on the brain LOL. Need to learn better time management skills.

Lift, run, scout, shoot, repeat.

I do the same for January -February.  Lift the cans to my face till empty, run to the store for more, scout out deals on tall boys and shoot the empties until they sink but, Pro Tip, come back in the spring where the empties sank , the bowfishing can be EPIC!
Just tend your own and live.
