Q:
I don't mean to get off topic, but we outdoorsman and woman aren't ALWAYS sitting in the tree stand. What do you guys do when you're not doing anything related to hunting or fishing? If you're a game warden or guide, please say so.

I'm an IT Business Consultant for the largest energy company in the Carolinas. Which means I spend a lot of time behind a desk, unfortunately, not really my career of choice, kind of fell into it. When I'm not at work I like to kyak, ride my motorcycle, hang out with the wife and kids, hang out at the local bar every now and then.

I'm a biologist. Work mainly with fisheries and aquatic invertebrates, but do a substantial amount of wildlife biology work as well. Just depends on what needs to be done (i.e. whats paying at the time). My work has a fair amount of field work (collecting and processing samples). Like many of us here, I'd say that when I'm not Hunting and Fishing, I'm thinking about it and getting ready for the next time I get to go.

I still gotta be outdoors. I mean I have to work to pay the bills, but other than that...

Camping, canoing, hockey, frisbee golf (traditional golf got too expensive and time consuming), walking my dogs, taking my kids to the park to play, or just sitting in my back yard watching the kids and dogs play. Having kids consumes a lot of time. But I be sure that, as much as I can, I am preparing them to be outdoors poeple. They have been camping and canoing, etc since they were babies.

Good for you 2Poppa. I tried that my self. I was not able to keep the house in the order my wife thought was appropriate so I had to go back to work. I was great with the kids...bad with the housework (and I still had to do all the yard work).

I work my tail off keeping my landscaping company running and devote as much time as humanly possible to my son's therapy and my lovely wife. At least I get most of hunting season off and all of the winter, assuming people buy enough bushes during the season.
It ain't easy but it sure beats having someone else decide my fate.
