I don't know if you intended it that way, but you're probably going to have to add some to the list. :-) 

I'm a hunter.

I love shooting animals too. Deer and turkey are my favorite targets.

I've got three deer tags this year and a fall turkey tag.  I'm thinking about getting an antelope tag as well. 

I don't know when I'm going to squeeze in all this fun, bird (ducks, geese, cranes, grouse, pheasant partridge) hunting starts up here in Sept. and goes through October. 

So much game and so little time.  Of course when that's over it's time for ice fishing. :lol:

Fishing(Saltwater)........followed by fresh water fishing...followed by and equal to FWF...killing all animals legal to destroy and decimate

Now living in Va..(thanks coup and bradley :-o)............................very confused by all these laws, but hey we can Deer hunt on the base and they shoot guns and blow things up everyday on the base, so I guess silence is not as well needed. :-D

In VA I go to the mountains to hunt.  Have some good friends from my time in the Air Force (yes I started my Naval career in the Air Force.  Laughlin AFB TX) that live up there that I go visit and hunt with.  Always come back with venison.  Also used to go up there every Feb for a hog slaughter.  Would get them from the market, shoot them, dredge in boiling water.....and so on.  Lots of fun.  Usually did about 10 a day.  It was a community event.....

You would love hunting in Georgia. You can kill 2 bucks and 10 doe every season.

I love hunting it's my favorite. However, I am really getting into saltwater fishing since I've moved to Florida.

I work on HO and Z-scale model railroads.

I'm building an HO-scale layout of Baden-Baden, Germany, and a Z-scale layout of Fusen, Germany (where Neuschwanstein Castle is located).

Once I finish the rehab on the house I might actually get time to work on the two projects!

You two would love New Zealand.  Sheep shagging is the national sport, or so I'm told.  Personally, I like scuba...but hate cold water (really cold where I live and nothing exciting to see but sharks that like to eat people)...so usually have to travel to south-east asia (Philippines is my favorite).    Could do it in northern Australia (ie north Queensland), but it's cheaper to take an overseas trip thanks to ridiculous domestic airfares.  Needless to say don't do as much diving as I'd like to...too bloody expensive.  So my real hobby is saving up for my hobby...

I have never been scuba diving.   But I have been sky diving.  What a rush.....
Title: Re: Favorite Hobby
Post by: clacoste on 07-25-2006 -- 07:47:37
I've never sky-dived.  Been thinking about trying it for years and haven't got around to it...I can imagine it would be a blast.  It just moved closer on the radar...

If you get the chance do a diving course...then a night diving course.  I used to surf Hawaii, etc etc but there is nothing like going down a hundred-foot coral wall at night.  It's almost like walking on the moon...but a lot more to see..

Muslims are attracted by sheep. It's a good lure.

The sheep don't get nervous when you blow the Muslim mating call whistle?

GOOD THINKING!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D

As far as the mating call, that only works when they're in the rut. After that, you'll need a camel bleak! hahaha!

Post by: flew-da-coup on 07-26-2006 -- 09:42:29
Camel Bleaks are great for the end of their rut. I also like to use goat pee at the start of the rut. Just don't ever eat bacon for breakfast before you go out on the hunt. They can smell it on your breath. I also heard that the sound of an empty Slurppy cup will cause them to come running

Watches, too.  They love watches.  Yell "ROLEX!!!" really loud and they'll beat a path to your door...

I heard hunting near strip clubs is a good way of racking up on kills.
Title: Re: Favorite Hobby
Post by: docbyers on 07-26-2006 -- 10:04:19
For that I'd recommend hunting in Europe; Italy or Germany, for example...  Or any business class lounge in a European airport...

The nice thing about England is that the police don't carry guns, so you'll have less competition.  It won't be like northeast Pennsylvania the first day of deer season...
