I think my airgun obsession has ruled my life and I love it .

Since I was a kid I didn’t give a flip about being in school. In college I would go with my duck hunting jacket to class , why? Because I was going to ditch and go duck hunting that’s why lol. The outdoor sports have been my passion since I was a kid. I would lose sleep at night knowing the next morning I was going to go shooting or hunting or camping. Fast forward to today and not a dang thing has changed except now it’s with airguns 99%!of the time except dove hunting couple times a year with a traditional shotgun but the rest of the year we’re pushing air. To this day if I’m anywhere near my shooting or hunting spots during work I’m stopping and not giving a flip. Working for my brother in law gives me these perks as long as he knows what I’m doing no problem . Even now I’m at work getting an oil change and writing this. It never stops and i don’t want it to. Thank goodness i have a wife that doesn’t mind the hobby because it’s a bit safer than powder. This hobby has the nicest people and that’s the best part. I don’t do Facebook or anything else this is it.

That was me, I was out in the woods all the time. A friend and I ran a small trap line, and I was hiking and shooting all the time. I would take some hot dogs and a small can of beans and make a little campfire to cook them on and just have a ball finding fossils and just seeing everything out there. I liked to go to a fish hatchery to see the trout, I would go for miles.

I'm envious!!! Sounds like what I'd wished that I had done but didn't, at least , not to that extent. To this day, I still can't sleep the night before a hunt or even a long fishing trip.

Man totally understand it when we would camp by the Kern River near Bakersfield many moons ago we’d take .22 rifles . Wish I knew pcps back then and had $$ lol because it would’ve been so much fun smashing ground squirrels with pcps instead of .22 LR.

I know what you mean. I'm the same way about airguns, motorcycles, golf, archery, reloading, bullet casting, paddling, fishing, bicycling. Don't know where I found the time to retire twice. Honestly though, I do one or two until it's a bit out of hand , then I'll take a break for a bit, and do something else. I always come back though.

Sounds like me, too many hobbies. Riding ATV's, shooting, archery, fishing, racing digital slot cars, getting into bullet casting now and back into hunting. It would be a lot simpler to have only one or two hobbies but not nearly as much fun. I do have to say I am never bored; I don't have time to be bored.

Fishing, hunting, reloading, flying.During wet or cold nights, balsa and paper free flight kit building. That's all the hobbies my crippled rear can handle.
