RE: Is hunting your vacation?
to tell ya the truth i cant think of a better vacation. up in the mountains miles from everyone else, no phone calls, no bills, no cars, no annoying neighbors, no job, no clock. clean air, only animals and the campfire to keep you company. only the basics matter and nothing else....i cant think of anything better.

I consider it my vacation and always have. When i was in school, it was mine and dad's time to get away from the house and farm. Now that im on my own and only see my dad once a month or less, i still consider deer camp to be my vacation.

Yes;- we hunt as much as we can, taking the kids...but the 2 weeks during sheep season is like a yearly honeymoon for us.The babysitter bill exceeds every other cost, though!!
The nice thing, is that we take the 2 weeks off for sheep opener(Aug):- and then still hunt moose / bear hunt through late Aug/September, as our work schedules allow.We started homeschooling, primarily to accomadate/incorporatethe hunting/fishing ed. and lifestyle in our family..-Andgoat reg. starts Nov 5th.(& closes quickly due to quota...at least in our GMU).

It's just my time to hunt. Vacation......not sure I'd call it that. I still like going on a traditional style vacation as well, but thats planned AFTER any hunting trips.

Sorry but hanging treestands, scouting, clearing out areas for foods plots and glassing fields every chance I can is not work. Thats what I love and enjoy. Plus just getting to spend time in this beautiful world god made us and just watching all the critters is AWESOME.
