How many days you get to hunt per week?
« on: October 01, 2012, 06:58:00 PM »
How many days do you get out during a week to hunt? My schedule is a rotating 12 hour shift deal. I have 4 days one week and then 2 days the next. Of course that is if I can actually hunt all those days. Hard to do with family and such.

I have trouble keeping up with much more than 2 to 3 times each week hunting.

When I was in my late teens and to my mid 20s it was about 5 to 7 days, now in my mid 40's with real life getting in the way about 3.

I'm retired so hunt when I want.  Don't get serious until near the rut, but then I hunt three weeks straight.

I'll hunt about 3 -4 evenings this whole season If I'm lucky. Last year was zero days afield and the year before was 2 mornings and one evening.

As many as I want-I'm retired.  I usually try to hunt when conditions are best for me, until the rut.

I'm happy if I get one day a week during bow season.  Usually a Saturday or Sunday.  Sometimes I sneak in an extra late afternoon hunt if I sneak out of work or "chores".

I work shift work so I get a lot of time off during the week. I tend to just hunt the mornings and spend time with the family in the evenings now.
