I do a bit of hunting. I used to hunt deer and wild pigs, but being in California, the PITA factor is pretty high. I would have to drive at least 3 hours to get to over-hunted public land. There is no private land hunting in CA unless you are well connected. As with many other things, a few *********s screw things up for everyone else. Landowners are too afraid of property damage and lawsuits to allow anyone to hunt. Most years I fly up to Eastern Washinngton and hunt upland birds, Pheasant and Hungarian Partridge with a friend. I do some varminting as well, primarily CA ground squirrels, but the ocasional trip to Montana for P-dogs.
I used to do a bit of competitve shooting as well, both IPSC/USPSA and NRA Service Rifle. I need to get off my lazy butt and start shooting again, I miss it.
