My vacation, but not the family's vacation. The best possible sort of vacation for me. Hard work, probably. Sweaty, probably. But the best possible sort of rejuvenation, refreshment, renewal, motivation for me.

I go on two vacations a year, both to the mountains. One in the summer with the family and the other in the fall to hunt. I tell people that my hunting vacation beats up my body and rests my mind! You better believe it is a vacation!

Yeah,multi-day remote hunting trips are a vacation of sorts.... a working vacation.... very memorable though.
I sure enjoy the other stuff though too, things the Colorado high country can't provide: scuba diving a brilliant coral reef, sailing from island to island,visiting different cultures, etc, etc, etc.

Vacation: (noun) "a period of suspension of work, study, or other activity, usually used for rest, recreation, or travel; recess or holiday"
For me, that's a tuffy. You see, I live 1 1/2 hours (or less) from elk, deer, moose, lopes, bear, stream, river, lake fishing and hunting. So I can't call it a vacation by definition . . .
Just another weekend in the woods!

Yes, Hunting is a working vacation for me. The only hunting time I value, is time I spend hunting by myself. I take other people huntingalso, but I dread taking them along. I only take them because, I have to take them.[
