I teach high school. 18 years now. I only hunt in state whitetail, bear and turkey. I hunt every night after work, weekends and the occasional sick day. My morning hunts are limited to Saturdays. No vacation days, 2 personal days and 10 sick days a year. I have never been on a week long hunt and don't see it happening until retirement. Teaching is not the profession if you want to hunt, but thankfully, everyday I go to work, I know I will not be receiving my pink slip... and my job is pretty secure. I often think about changing careers, but ...... what would I do now.... to insure I can have the time I do now and the money, even if its not a lot by some peoples standards, I live pretty comfortably..
