How much time did you get to spend in the stand this season? I know I am a little premature here we still have a few days left and some have a couple weeks still.

BUT IT IS SLOW IN HERE! ARE YOU IN THE WOODS NOW?

    How much time do ya'll take off during hunting season? I am really considering takeing the entire first week off, and I know I can get it off too. I just dont normally take time off so it is odd for me. I even worked the first 2 days of my last vacation here and the others with David on a house remodel. I guess that does not count as a vacation then huh?

    Anyway.... so how much time do yall take off?

    its all about pucks and bucks

    Probably 1 full week this year. The least amount since I was 12.[V]

    I probably only hunted 3 mornings. I just hate waking up...drunk...

    i would optimistically venture a guess of about 30 hunts. nah...more like 25. this being my first year out of college i had no vacation days to use, so that left saturdays and i went a lot in the evening before time changed. then there was thanksgiving and christmas.

    now last year was a different story. it was my last semester in college, no job, i arranged all my classes to be mid-day and i hunted at least 5-6 times per week. i got really really spoiled.

    Your lucky you get to hunt, I work evenings, got to class durring the day and night now. Plus it would cost a nice 124.50 to get out of state tags here in indiana, then find some where to hunt. I am also sure that people would not be to happy if they saw me cleaning a deer in good old downtown Lafayette. Would be funny as hell though. [:D]

    You know I asked the question but I don't really know how much time I spent either. I know it was a lot more than last year. I believe in Nov. I spent somewhere between 9-11 days AT WORK, the rest was huntin. cept for Turkey day.

    I'm figuring I got between 80-90 hours in this year, maybe more.
    Still have until the end of this month. [:D] Now that everyone is out of the hospital I'll be in the woods Saturday when the sun shines.

    I think it is only a problem when you start going through denial(tellin the significant other "I have not been in the woods that much"). Then you go through the 12 step program and start your sentences with "Hi my name is bub8889 and I am a bow hunting addict."
