My hobbies include hunting and outdoor activities such as hiking and exploring new and interesting places such as caves and strange formations in nature. I love cooking and baking and sharing those creations with others. I am currently getting into the art of taxidermy as well as I butcher by own hunted game such as deer, turkey, pheasant and duck to name a few. I love pushing my mental and physical limits to see what I can really do. I also make blankets and am getting into crocheting as well.
