I'm into the outdoors. I'm trying to position myself where I can live in a small

rural town while still making a decent living. Aside from flyfishing, bowhunting, birdhunting, and all that stuff, I'm interested in goat packing and plan on building a herd at some point. A relative is into falconry and it's something I'm very interested in, but probably later in life when I can't be as physically active.

Thats fine, but do you get juiced from them? Like wake up excited to go do them?

BYUfan92

Absolutely. I cannot get enough of my hobbies. Sounds dumb, but i really do get excited about getting up to do them. But
