What are some outdoor hobbies you have that keep you busy?

Question

It can be any time of the year....For me it is cool weather, so I hunt.....I just shot my first Turkey a few weeks ago and now Deer season starts in 2 weeks.....In December or January once the ice is thick enough, we start ice fishing....I also enjoy going fishing from the boat in the warmer months.......But these things keep me moving outside during the cold months.......

I do not want to offend anyone that does not agree with hunting, it is just something we do and we also eat what we kill or catch......

outta here---you have lots of things to keep you busy.....you make me tired...just kidding......keep it up......

Answer 1

Wow, your the first woman I have ever met that does her own hunting. That's great!!
I love venison, don't know that I could actually shoot and clean the animal.
I am an avid fishing woman, deep sea. I do gut and clean my own fish though.
It's cold here in New Orleans, will be leaving for Texas in the next two weeks.
I still have tomato plants and plan on planting mustard greens soon.
I will be transferring all of my plants back to Texas where the warm weather is.
On the property is a large beach house, which I intend to move into, my RV will be reserved for family and guest,
I realize that people think it's a trailer, but it really is more than that. It's 42 feet with 3 slide outs, a master bedroom and a full bath. Very luxurious, top of the line. More along the line of a condominium

Answer 2

HEY! I used to like to eat venison that my husband would hunt with bow and arrow, but could never quite get into the more wild game tasting things like duck, and rabbit. I still love venison and I agree, I would like to go back to buying meet hunted or at least grown on a farm, with out all the drugs.

I love summer the most because it is in the 80's and I feel so much better and I am into gardening...in the process of landscaping the front and sides of house and then plan to start an English garden in the back yard. I only do perennials and I have a great friend who loves to garden and loves to help me with it! Fall is also a good time of year for gardening, sitting around a fire, or taking a ride on a Harley, Gold Wing, anything on two wheels! That and playing with my dog, and travel to visit friends a few hours away, boating,swimming, and fishing once in a while, is what I do most in the summer and fall. I also walk my dog more in the summer and fall as I can, the winter is harder, but the spring is really hard so I try to go south with my dog and visit friends here and there. If I can't I like to spend the winter, sewing, painting, learning how to use this new computer, reading, and entertaining friends. I love the art of acting so this is when I catch up on my favorite actors and the movies that are out on DVD. Summer amid fall are the time to be outside as much as possible as the winter is really cold here and the spring it rains and we may not see the sun for a month! Music is a part of my life year round! I just read this back and realize that I don't actually do all these things each part of the year but would like to. lol!

Answer 3

I have no outdoor hobbies except driving. I LOVE to drive and go for long rides...just follow my nose. I do walk 4/5 times a week for "fitness" but, other than the beach and an occasional picnic, my hobbies are all indoors.

I am an avid reader - probably 2 a week if I'm on a good fiction kick. I also enjoy embroidery. I play guitar, uke and keyboard, love music and have a great collection.

I sell on ebay quite a few times a year and get a large kick out of that.

I also do genealogy...continuing my mothers 25 year search for family roots, family members, long lost cousins, etc.

When I'm outside, I enjoy the earth noises and love to look. My walks aren't of the power-walking sort...more of a mosey. I have reached a point in my life where I stop to smell the flowers, check out a spider web, watch the geese on the lake, checkout the bugs, etc....

During the warm months I work in my garden and green house. I also take care of my parents yard. I start in the spring with the digging of the beds and planting and end the fall with ripping things out and getting the soil ready for the next spring. I don't care much for the winter chill. I do shovel the drive and walks and play in the snow with my dog for a bit. Mostly I keep busy working on my family genealogy.

Myself, I am not into the hunting thing, but if that's what you enjoy..... go for it! Many of my neighbors go deer hunting each year and they are gracious enough to share some of their meat with us.

Answer 5

I've a huge rose garden here at my apartment complex that I have been nurturing for a year and a half, since the last time the complex was sold. It's good therapy for me, takes my mind off of the screaming kids!

I also walk daily, though that's not a hobby. When I can, I love to do the walking in a shopping center, more for the flat walkway than the shopping.

It's been too long since I did any fishing. I loved it, so does my son.

Also, getting my book finished. When that's done, I'll have to find a new hobby, or write another one.

Answer 6

If I was back in South Africa, it would be swimming, gardening, and going out camping. Walking and the ocean holds a great attraction for me. Outdoor photography is a passion. Beautiful plants and flowers.

The BEST is going to the Game Farms, in Africa, and waking up before dawn and driving ot the water spots, to see the wild game, and photograph them, and if you are lucky ,see a kill. Then going for a drive, hoping to see one of the big five. Then eating around the campfire at night in the "booma" (an area made of a fence of sticks, to keep the game out) Then you go for a night drive to "spot" leopard and you just see the most amazing things.Spotting the different birds during the day drives, too.

Here, I only have walking. Too old for my tennis. but not for swimming, which I love.

Answer 7

You are talking my language. What state are you in? I grew up in the woods, my father a trapper/hunter/fisherman. I like hunting deer and duck. Fly fishing is fun. We hike trails and forage herbal medicine and roots or pick berries in the summer. My mother was an expert on what plants and roots to use for healing. Even just a mountain drive does me good.

My son seems to be leaning more toward the ocean. He loves walking along the shore looking for shells and drift wood. In the summer I get tired of the same 'ol, "Peas take me to the beach to go Ki-Wa-Keeeeeee." (He’s 4 years old). He loves kayaking.

Answer 8

I have COPD, the whether is my enemy. Extremes can stress my lungs beyond belief. Just walking is bad. I have to stop every 2-3 blocks. I now have an exercise bike with a long handle that works like a rowing machine. I can ride that thing for 1/2-1 hour with no stress. Heaving breathing which is good, but no panic, panting, breathing. I use to love walking, but we have to adopt.

Answer 9

Motorcycling. I ride year round, unless there's a terrible storm or might be ice on the road. Riding with the Patriot Guard is one of the ways. Riding in a Veterans' Day parade Monday (I know, I know, Vet's day is SUNDAY, but our city is having a parade MONDAY).
If you can read, thank a teacher. If you can read English, thank a Veteran.

Answer 10

Don't have much time for outside hobbies, I'm at work a lot of the time and trying to see to the house and family the rest of the time, however I do enjoy walking the dog, it gives me some quiet time .
