the past few days i've been beating cabin fever by fighting off a really bad cold and sleeping. usually i tie flies and make poppers. reloading is also an option as is small game and coyote hunting. then there is ice fishing...man i wish i felt better right now!

When I am not traveling for work I write a blog, reload ammo and shoot airguns at my basement range.

Please, read my blog at http://awildbeastatheart.blogspot.com

Reload, read a good book, get the fishin' gear ready for spring ,blog on F&S,

Fly tying is always a good option.

I built a black powder pistol kit gun a while back. That was a nice weekend project.

I have started getting supplies to try my hand at tying fly's. I also work on my Jeep, and reload. Have thought about trying my reloads on my Jeep.

Tying flies, reading fishing and hunting books & magazines, posting stuff on this site!!!, ice fishing (when the ice is good this winter!), replacing the line on my reels, dig through all of my tackle boxes (for inspiration), frequently haunting sporting goods stores to drool on all the latest gear, snow shoeing (when we have snow this year!), have not been up on X-country skis due to the lack of snow for the first time in years, and do some star gazing at night. Also listen to the Great-horned owls as they are calling at night and also listen to the coyotes howling in the woods when I get the chance to get out of town.

A ittle of what everyone has already said, reading, reloading, duck boxes and bird houses. Was recently given some walnut and cherry lumber so new ones this winter are attempting to make turkey calls and whittling out some bass surface plugs.

Get a handheld propane torch, a piece of railroad track or really any big hunk of steel you can find, and try your hand at blacksmithing in your garage. just make sure to have some ventilation.
