Some of my favorite hobbies are hunting and fishing.  I like to group these together because I get the same peacefulness doing both of them.  I find it fun to go out and just sit in the wilderness or next to a river.  I get a relaxing feeling that I just cant get when I am anywhere else.  My favorite thing is to come home from work and just head out to the river or lake. I enjoy being out by myself with no one talking and nothing to bother me.  Im not someone that you would call and adrenaline junky, but the little thrill of catching a fish or shooting something while hunting is just perfect for me.  The hardest thing for me is to find the time to go out and do it.  I struggled to find time before I had kids, but now with kids it is nearly impossible to escape for a while.  We just bought a house which takes away any of the extra time I had before.  Now I pretty much have to schedule my time to go hunting 6 months in advance in order to find the time.  I guess that makes the peacefulness even better, because I dont get it nearly as much.  If Im not out by myself I love to go out with my dad.  I dont get a whole lot of time to spend with him and I like to make it count whenever I do.  We enjoy pretty much all of the same things and get along really well.  Hunting or fishing are things we can both enjoy together. The biggest problem with these hobbies are it is the easiest thing in the world to break the bank with it.  The more you get into it, the more you can spend on it.  (307)
