Just curious what everyone does for a yearly or more tradition with family or friends that’s outdoor related? Lookin to add a few as the kids get older.
We have a deer drive every Friday after thanksgiving with a group of guys have a knife that we pass around Called the hungry hunter. First kill gets there name and date engraved in it and holds it for the year .

The boys and I take a trip to hunt sharp tails every year. It’s became something all of us look forward to. Many great memories

The hunting traditions in my family died with my Grandpa I tried to revive some of them but the rest of the gang wasn't interested.

Our hunting tradition is a Labor Day dove shoot for everyone and their families. We usually all pitch in and plant 15 or 20 acres of corn or sunflowers. It's very laid back and fun for all ages
After we shoot our doves we have a big fish fry or shrimp boil. Everyone enjoys it and we have fun even if the birds don't fly.
It has always been the sign of good things to come for me. After this day I know hunting seasons are near and trapping isn't far behind. Also my favorite time of year to fish...opening day of Rifle deer season!
Gotta live up to the nickname...

I never cared to hunt with a crowd no matter who it was. I hunted with my Dad as a kid, just the two of us 99% of the time. We still hunted some in my adult life, but not as much as we did when I was a kid. I hunt alone most of the time as an adult. It seems like if I take some one they want to drag three other people along or are hunting with the three the next weekend where I took them. So I go alone. I have gone on a birthday hunt for 55 years.

until 2019 when my great aunt who hosts deer camp had health problems then my great uncle died the week before deer season
we always go to my aunts house on Friday before opening day we go out for fish fry on Friday get up and hunt Saturday often a big breakfast big meal Saturday night hunt Sunday often a full thanksgiving dinner , turkey , and trimmings Sunday night
we used to leave and drive back Sunday night so my dad could be back at work Monday once I was out of school I would take Monday off also and drive back Monday
my Great Great grandfather had the house built in 1888.
before it was my great aunt's house it was her mothers my great grandmother , she met her second husband at deer camp , a friend of the family brought Roy with hunting , the got on so good the wedding was in January
they used to pack 20+ people in that house now 8-10 is doing good
2019 we had a funeral 2020 my aunt was having health issues and was living with her daughter
we are back on for 2021 aunt says she is feeling good
hallelujah it has been a long 2 years
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

None anymore. When I was young it was always a pheasant hunt on the pheasant opener, and then a deer hunt on Thanksgiving morning. We would usually hunt stands until about 9 or 10am, then do some drives before going home for dinner. Most Saturdays during shotgun deer season would usually be a repeat of Thanksgiving morning as well, though not usually quite as many hunters. OH and on the deer opener we would drive down to the southern tier of the state, just for the one day then drive home again that night.

Dove season I like to take out new hunters for obvious reasons- lots of shots and a semi controlled environment where each shooter knows his fields of fire and where everyone else it. Added bonus if someone does muff it, getting peppered with bird shot at 60 yards doesn't really hurt all that bad so it is moderately safe to take along a newb or a city boy.
My tradition is this, let some guy brag about what a great wing shooter he is or what his last few scores on a trap or skeet range and then bet him a chunk of change that he cant shoot (and retrieve) his limit that day with a single box of shells. I have only paid up one time so far and I am 51 LOL
