outdoors and gaming
I have gone hunting up in New Hampshire a few times with friends that live out there. I have hunted deer and bear (soo far no luck yet).
sometimes out on the hunt and waiting is the most relaxing time to just sit and hear the wind in the trees the birds flying threw the air and just listening to the sounds of nature. I hunt with rifle and shotgun but am working up the strength to go out with the bow. I am hopping by next season i will have built the strength up and would like to try my luck at it. I like to travel up north to see the different seasons and learn about the deferent things to do in the forest weather it be how they make maple syrup or when the mushrooms start to grow and where they grow or even head to a lake to go fishing. I also love to play video games. I find that the survival games and outdoors type of games are the ones I like most. sometimes i will play DND (if i have the time). Sometimes I will play the more fast past shooter games with friends and the survival games with friends but I do also enjoy a good story game now and then.
