RE: Do you hunt before or after work?
Most of our daily caribou trips are after work. Sometimes we break free a little early to get some extra time out there. I've had nearly all of my success in afternoon or night hunts, rarely, if ever in the morning.

RE: Do you hunt before or after work?
Pennsylvania's fall archery season is a scant 6 weeks, so I try to make the most of it. I'm lucky to be able to hunt just a few minutes from my house. This year I was able to hunt twice a week after work and on saturdays, plus I tried to drag myself out of bed at least 3 times a week to hunt before work...even though I may only have had the first 15 minutes of light to hunt before hustling to work. If/when I actually get lucky before work, I'm able to call in to say I'll be late. Those brief, before-work hunts have actually paid off twice in the last two years; last year when I stalked a handsome buck, and this year when I arrowed an old doe.

I typically get to hunt 3 evenings a week. Sometimes more sometimes less. I can hunt in the morning if I'm on something hot but it really screws up my work schedule so I don't like to.

RE: Do you hunt before or after work?
I get in the majority of my hunting in after work. I am fortunate to have a job where I am able to flex my hours from time to time so that I can get in a good couple hours after work 2-3 times per week.
