Tips on hobby and retirement...

Duals hobbies recommended as hobby could get old having so much time to hunt.

Get a good buddy(not easy) as local spots dry up and travel can get costly and buddy could share expenses and perhaps learn a bit from each other.

Use different unit than buddy as interferences can be there even if not noticed..

Join a club and become a working member.

Buy good equipment before retirement as bucks could be tighter than when working.

Last but not least treat the wife to a movie or supper once a week and put her first relative to hunting as always tomorrow...

Get a buddy you can trust not to hunt your spots behind your back. I got burned once now always hunt alone.

Good input guys...remember (not easy) was in original post...personally had one for 8 good years which we both enjoyed...trusted amicable buddies certainly enhance your enjoyment of hobby...

Great advice...especially the last one!
