Get outside

  Anyone claiming to be bored needs to get outside. Turn off the tv, the computer and all your other electronics. I understand hunting and fishing equipment can be expensive. 
  NY state has so much more to offer. Theres tons of state parks and land to hike on, walk on, fish on, hunt on or even ride your bike on. There's some very picturesque parts of NY that aren't hard to get to.
  If your into fishing theres countless possibilities. Even in winter. Don't have ice fishing gear you say. Theres streams that don't ice up that offer steelhead fishing all the way till spring. Hook into one of these "muscle" heads just once and you'll be hooked. Theres many small streams all over that offer good bank fishing for trout. Then theres enough park ponds and lakes that hild largemouth and panfish to get you through the summer. Which takes you into fall and the salmon run off Lake Ontario. Having just got involved in this myself for the first time. Let me tell ya. This is some fun fishing. Drag screaming runs. Fish that fly out of the water. Not to mention its just a beautiful time to be outside. 
  If you can pull yourself away from the salmon and steelhead streams, theres more than enough to hunt. Deer hunting starts in October and goes till December. Throw some duck hunting in there. Before you know it the snows flying and your spending late nights a field hunting coyotes. Then it's spring and your turkey hunting. Theres a little break to be had during summer. Thats when you can enjoy your quarry on the grill, or in the smoker. 
  Theres a whole years worth of activity. Stop being bored. Get outside, make some memories with friends. Maybe you'll even meet somebody new.
