I'm so addicted to hunting and fishing that I combined them. I live on the ocean so in the summer and fall I spend a great amount of time free dive spearfishing. Its amazing what you can do on one breath of air.
Ive shot everything from little schoolie mahi mahi to amberjack over 100 lbs.

sound like fun.enjoy it while you can.
in my youth, I could hold my breath for several minutes. I was able to swim under water three to four lengths of swimming pool. now at 50 , I can only do one length.



Getting older is an amzing thing. I'm awake
hours before my body allows me to get up.
I get up each morning and dust off my wits,
pick up my paper and read the 'obits'.
If my name is missing, I know I'm not dead,
so I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.

yeah when I was skiing the lift ticket was $15 .now 30ish years later I hear it's pushing 70.
Not sure $70 touches a lift ticket these days.. last year was $140 a day, for a 4 day pass.

As far as other hobbies... mostly just fishing, dog training, smoking meats, cooking and trying to keep the wife happy.

I have raised beagles for almost 20yrs. Travelled all over with them hunting and field trialing. Check out my FB page if you get a chance. Maple Hill beagles

Another I can add is playing guitar. Currently am leading worship at a small church plant not far from Powell and have been playing now for like 15 years. Should be way better than I am, but sometimes is is hard to find time to just really practice.

just picked up a new 850 summit skidoo sled. should be fun.

did someone mention rafting and mountain biking? lol

there is so much more than hunting to do in the mountains.
that rafting ought to get you into some fantastic hard to access hunting areas

Backpacking, fly fishing both float fishing rivers as well as high lakes, playboat kayaking up to class v creeks, SUP surfing, single track dirt biking, 4x4 tipi camping w family, multi-day rafting w family seems to fill up the summer. Colorado has literally built surf waves on rivers all over the state and I take advantage of these waves...

Skiing w family, ice fishing both high lakes (12,000 ft +) as well as local lakes. Try to get out winter camping at least a couple of times and with the winter hut system here in Colorado hit up the Bonnie belle or Sheepshead at least once a winter. Snowmobiles are the tool of the winter as they get you everywhere from skiing to fishing to fun! My heart is still stuck on snowmachine assisted backcountry snowboarding nothing really like it but as I am 45 now slowing down as it does comes with its fair share of risk.

















Great photos.

The only way skiing is affordable (at least for me) is to buy multi day or season passes. No way I'd be paying $130 for a single day lift ticket! Those are tourist prices...
