How often....
« on: September 14, 2008, 12:22:00 PM »
....do you get out to hunt?

I am doing real good if I get to get out a dozen times a year.....

What about yourself?
Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder's eye on the Last Day.

I am retired so I can hunt anytime, I try and get out 4 or 5 times a week.

It depends on my mood and work and family and other obligations.  It's hot here now so I'm not in the mood   :)   .  Of course season doesn't start where I hunt until October anyhow so maybe we'll get some cooler weather.  If I'm on to a good spot or a nice buck I may try to get in a couple of afternoons a week.  It is also nice to take off a couple of long weekends and get away each season.

I have acquaintances that save all their vacation for deer season and others that have their own business that virtually close down for fall.  Both sound nice in a way but their families are often dissapointed. Sometimes wish life was like it was as a kid - school and hunting - in no particular order.   :D

I usually get 3-4 weekends a year for deer.  Maybe an extended weekend or a week thrown in depending on the year and my available vacation time.

I don't have a close local place to hunt so its hard for me to get out any more then that.

Every night after work and all weekend, I usually take a week off work the first of Nov. I let everyone fend for themselves during hunting season.

Well, I'll spend four vacation weeks this year hunting almost every day including in Texas and Quebec, then at least 1-2X/week from opening day for deer on October 13 to almost Thanksgiving. I'll even try leaving work early until daylight savings time ends. Oh! At least one day a wk during spring turkey season this year! I'll spend at least a few of those days hunting pre-dawn until after sunset.

7-8 times if I'm lucky...but for now with work and the family it's enough. Before I was married it was every weekend from mid October thru the end of the season and a full week in early November.

I usually fill out 40 permit cards each year for the WMA that I hunt and usually use all of them and a few more. I also hunt 40 acres behind my house. It's about 60 yards(from my house) to where I start hunting. I don't really keep up with those hunts.

Usually two to three weeks on out of state/country trips a year. At home for deer not nearly enough. I will hunt more this year for deer. Evenings and weekends for sure.

In the past I have hunted about 4-5 times a week. I just had my second kid this summer so I think that I might be lucky to get out 2 times a week this year...
