What do you all do to stay occupied in the summer? We've gotten into gardening pretty heavy, doesn't interfere with spring fishing too much and by the time the garden is labor intensive, we are done pretty much fishing for the season. I've got all my prep work done for trapping this fall other than buying some lure at the upcoming conventions. All I have to do is pack, roll out and get trapping. Fingers crossed it works out like I have planned.

We own a hobby farm so everything dealing with farming but to a smaller extent. Plus we do some craft items and outdoor activities. We keep ourselves busy all year long.

I've actually gone the other way - cut back on my garden so there is more time for fishing!

Anything outdoors and farm or hunting and fishing related and shooting. Or at least thing I did at one time and think I still do even it hi haven't in a while.

Example.
Bees, mapple sugar, garden, starting making wine, reloading, shooting, building things, hunting, fishing, cutting trees &firewood,( work yet I find fun) teaching skills based classes, and just enjoying the outdoors.

I don’t have any hobbies. I just trap, bow hunt, and do artwork!

Summer? Does shaving your legs for shorts count?

Waiting on it to get dark so can catch grass frogs. Then look for hungry catfish.

Fishing,musky,small mouth,crappie and walleyes.Hunting,when I had more time I really enjoyed archery hunting,I normally have more time with the rifle,love waterfowl hunting.When work allows I play golf,last year I was only able to get out 4 times,this year I've been out 10 times since May.When the weather is right,rain and warm temps I get out foraging mushrooms,so between working Control trapping for cattlemen I have too many hobbies....

I spend a lot of time on finance.... probably my main hobby. I love reading. Do some gardening. Some mushroom hunting. I do a little crochet and needlework. Go fishing now and then.

When I am not smoldering the rear tires on this....I hit a cruise night on Thursday nights

Shoot my English self bow behind be the house

Go to the gun range with the smoothbore flintah

Do some trolling for salmon & Trout

Smoke my pipe

Grow some maters

Make my own bread & Butter refrigerator pickles.

Did I mention Sourdough

Help with the flock of sheep at the house.( But not much..lol )

Drag the campers to the fairs...where my son is showing his oxford sheep

Then it's ice fishing ...and playing with model train lay out.

And nuisance beaver trapping...

I think I left some other things out
