And last what kind of job do you have. I thought i had a lot of off time during hunting season but you may have me beat.
I started the season with my old trusty Predator recurve, 60" 67#@28". Got my new Centaur longbow, 62" 63#@28", the last week of September and after shooting it for a day, switched over to it for the rest of the season.
I used to put up alot of stands before season, but changed the way I hunt a few years ago and pretty much use only one stand now. I use a Loc On Limit. I hang it every time I climb, and pull it when I come down. Every once in a while I'll hunt the same tree twice in a row and leave it up, but not very often.
My climber is an old Summit Bushmaster I've had for 10 years or so. I find myself using it less and less each year. I only climbed with it once this year.
I work three 12's on the weekend shift. Leaves me 4 days during the week to hunt, which is the best time to be on public land. I'm blessed, not only to have a job during these tough times, but to have one that allows me plenty of time to do what I love.
