Pine Ridge of western Nebraska...of course I found time to bow hunt.  Turkeys, whitetails, and mulies.  Even found some time for duck hunting too.  Like has been said, you will soon get into the routine and will be able to make a little time for hunting.  I was lucky to find some college buddies that liked hunting as much as I did.  Enjoy every minute  of your college experience - it will go by fast.
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch

If you want to hunt you will find time to hunt, especially when you're in college.  I guess I could have hunted less and studied more and gotten a higher gpa, but a 3.48 was good enough for me.  I'd take good grades and hunting over great grades and no hunting.

All depends on your class schedule and how close you are to land you can hunt. I was on a basketball and baseball scholarship, with little free time, so hunting was out of the question for me. If you have the time and can schedule your classes accordingly you should be able to fit your outdoor activities into your college schedule.Good luck and remember why your in college.   :archer2:

I hunted hard all through college. Took books with me in the stand and it worked quite well!! I worked too hard in college with a job or two the whole time.
...it was my first couple years at work that I didn't get to hunt. Honestly if I could do it over again I'd have tried to make more friends in college and enjoyed the experience more. I wouldn't have worked all through college either.
...just keep in mind that you'll be able to hunt for the rest of your life health permitting...you won't always have hundreds of young, beautiful, smart and available women one of whom may be a lifelong companion. You'll never have more chances to make friendships that will last either.

...and just some personal advise: keep a safe distance from the party crowd. I did and don't think I missed much...those friends/relationships tend not to last as well

Don't worry about the partying. I'm not the partying type. It seems like my success with two legged females is just as bad is with the four legged ones lol.
After two weeks of classes, I've kind of figured out my schedule and I should be able to make quite a few evenings and maybe a morning or two work out during the week.

I bowhunted big time all my college years--I was on the "five year plan" to get finished in the late 1980's... LOL.

Many times I took my bow to campus then hunted evenings or any weekend when I didn't come home.  October and NOVEMBER I found time and the gas $$$ to drive 150 miles home to bowhunt.  Priorities!
