Fishing has been a huge hobby of mine for years now, and now I'm getting heavy into hunting. This year I'm bow-hunting for the first time ever, and am hoping to bag at least one big doe whitetail. I've had a few shots I could have taken, but they were young ones and small so I passed while it's still early in the season. Later this winter, I'm hoping to do some small game hunting as well. The goal is to get a few small game pelts to tan and use for tying flies for fishing. I'm also beginning to get into carving bone hooks for even more focus on "all natural" flies.
I play a dozen or more instruments with varying degrees of proficiency. I play guitar and harmonica about every day at the moment. When I get my own place I'll be practicing more didgeridoo, but for now I'm sparing my neighbors on the other side of the duplex.
I'm also a serial hobby-er. I take on small hobbies to try out for a fun shorter-timeframe experience without the need to incorporate it into a lifelong passion. I have a few hobbies to keep and hold near and dear, but that doesn't stop me from trying to brew beer one winter, or enjoying kite flying without being serious about it. If I were to list all of the "hobby activities" I've pursued in the past 5 years, this would be a much longer post.
