The first cup of coffee with my beautiful wife every morning Watching the sun come up on a spring morning surrounded by calves while filling a water tank A giant standing dead elm, a sharp chain, and a perfect swing with a splitting maul. The smell of a dead bull elk on the side of a mountain on a crisp fall morning

Mowing the lawn on a nice summer morning Sitting on a boulder atop a mountain, taking in the nature sights, sounds, and smells A hot cup of coffee on a brisk morning on my way to check coyote traps Grabbing my old rifle with its old scope and knowing it always hits what I want it to Wondering if my kids faces will split if they smile any bigger when we catch a coyote Perfect
Everything the left touches it destroys

Stopping by to help out a friend. Mowing the local cemetery, just to talk to some people I once knew. Dropped by my daughter's house last night, just to tell her I love her. Pretty much just doing what I want to like I have these last 71+ years.
For years I have been tomstrap, now I must change because of the whims of the cyber world. NRA Life, ISTA Life, FTA Life, NTA Life

hunting, fishing and adding trapping to that list this year. I love putting on winter gear and going outside in the middle of the nastiest snow storms and blizzards, not sure why but its very calming to me. I love the roar of a sprint car engine. I like cooking food and watching others enjoy it. That sounds like a lot of guys I know. Glad you didn't say long walks on the beach, that would have revoked the man card....
Wish I had more time to trap....

I just enjoy life. I have a wonderful family good friends and a bad day in the woods or on the water is better than a good good day at work
My boss took me up on a Canadian fishing trip one time in the northern part of Canada and I told him well a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work oh he told me was a good thing we’re fishing LOL

Lots of good ideas on here. I especially enjoy watching my sons grow up. I enjoy seeing them do or say something I taught them.
But I'm also reminded of something C.S. Lewis said: “God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.”
The more I experience in life, the more I see this to be true.
What from Christ that soul can sever, Bound by everlasting bands? None shall take thee From the Strength of Israel's hands.

. . . Helping new trappers has much joy in it. When they call with that 1st coyote catch, to share in thier joy is priceless. Exactly!
