Too early to look ahead?
Vacation scheduling and such has me looking at my days off for next season. Between Oct 1 & Nov 30 I will have 25 full days off to hunt(Counting weekends). 14 of which will be during the span of Oct 24-Nov 16th. 
A small trade off that goes along with that is that I will probably not get many evenings after work like I usually do. Maybe a couple real early. I think it is worth it though, it was stressful to deal with traffic and long days this past season, just to hunt not real prime locations. So I guess its a little more quality over quantity thing as well.

It's never too early Rybo. Justin and I have been discussing our hunting vacation days already as well. We always try to base them after that darn full moon..
It will take me a good 2 months from now to finally get down the dates. Have to check with the wife..[&:]

And remember, extra flowers on V-Day now pays dividends when that cold front moves in on November 8th and you want to sneak out a few days before you had planned.

RE: Too early to look ahead?
I've already scheduled 5 days off in November. Since I won't be hunting elsewhere except perhaps a few weekend hunts to Shawnee, I can hunt every evening through the week due to working 3rd shift all of the time now. I can even hunt mornings if I feel like it after work.
