Outdoors

Growing up hunting, fishing, and hiking with my dad it is no surprise that I love the outdoors and it certainly didn’t help (sarcasm) that I basically grew up as a Boy Scout as well. For the most part I love being outdoors all the time (except for when it’s raining), even if whatever I was doing wasn’t going as planned just the privilege of being out in nature is enough for me.

One of my favorite things to do outside is to fish and hunt. My dad taught me how to do both at a young age and I’ve been hooked, yes that’s a pun, ever since.  Perhaps my most favorite thing to hunt would be for wild hogs since you can hunt them year round, they are a non native species to the U.S., cause millions of farm damage every year (meaning that by hunting them you are doing farmers and the economy a favor), they are quite a challenge to hunt, and because they are very delicious. In addition I really love to fish, whether it be freshwater or saltwater I don’t care because I love every bit of it. It’s gotten even more fun for me ever since I got one of my friends interested in it and now he too is ‘hooked’.

But I’m not just all about hunting and fishing though.  I also love to go mountain biking, especially in Cameron Park. Not only is it my favorite place to go but it is also the favorite of many bikers across the country.  In addition I love to go hiking and hammocking in Cameron Park with my friends, family, or just by myself.
