I would say my most expensive hobby would be collecting high end custom 1911's and collectible 1911's. Also love whitetail deer hunting, fishing and things to do in the outdoors

Love to golf, have a boat, and fishing and hunting. I also enjoy looking for arrowheads.

By far, my favorite hobby/sport is alpine skiing. I've skied 48 days this season so far. I direct a local ski patrol chapter, and I love skiing with a purpose and teaching. It's truly my happy place.

Teaching school kids in the terrain-based learning park:

Meh, something like in the photo is a somewhat maintained US Forest Service road, so usually not a concern unless water is unusually high. More remote areas can be tricky, and might have to take a stick and check, or visual. That bike is good to about 48” or so. Have had to block air intake, and buddy pull across with a rope before.

Cool shot either way. Reminds me of growing up on ATVs and Dirtbikes. Every day after school my friends and I would ride the trails. The best times of my life hands down.

When I have kids I am moving somewhere a bit further out from the city so we can ride. Hard to beat a day on the trails.

My favorite hobby is representing clients in foreclosure free of charge. I am a lawyer by trade and my practice is helping people keep their homes, which in Illinois is called foreclosure defense. I do a ton of pro bono work for clients who can't afford a lawyer. I love this area of law and I get the most satisfaction of helping the ones who cannot afford me and who really need help. I wish I never had to send a bill - I hate that part of the job. It's not really a hobby, but it's fun to me for some odd reason. I love the challenge of being able to do the impossible. I was able to get 2 clients free houses in the past 3 months. I met some great Judges and great lawyers in the process.

Hey these are pretty cool! You definitely should pick it back up.

I used to do a lot of sketching but stopped after my little one was born, she likes to color all over my drawings so I don't really have the time anymore.

Bowhunting Whitetail Deer.
Cars (Porsches).
Finding new, clever ways of avoiding going into our exercise room. Almost any excuse will do, even if not very clever.

You're just the man we need. We've tried reasoning, bargaining with them,
setting boundaries, but all we get is sass(notice the tongue sticking out in picture 2)

Let me guess - there's a no hunting or perhaps even a "no projectile" ordinance where you live? I have never lived anywhere (except during college and grad school) where I couldn't hunt/shoot on my property.
They won't eat daffodils - one of the few things poisonous to them.
At least they look healthy :)

Golf when the seasons permit. I enjoy whitetail hunting which is a short season. Same with pheasants. During the long winter months researching family history and trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

That's about right(ordinance). BTW-deer repellant? These deer snack on it. In the hills above us there's also black bear, other assorted wildlife and lots of raccoons(who pick the lock on the tool shed, even on occasion will start up the snow blower :) .
