I'll be off from Oct 24 through Nov 1. when my brother comes to IL for some deer hunting. Otherwise, just a couple scattered days here and there during season.

This is a rather interesting fall. Being a leap year kinda messed me up a little, and the second full moon is late this fall, Nov. 13. I can't take off the 1st of any month due to inventory responsibilities, so I can't take my "normal" week off. Also, MO's rifle season is early this year, opening on Nov. 8. I don't rifle hunt, but I will go some w/ my bow, but I don't take that week off like most people I know do. Also, with it being earlier this year I think the artillery will take out a few more bucks than average. So I had a real delima as when to take off this year.
I decided on Oct. 27, and Nov. 5-11. Looking @ quicksilver's poll, that looks to be the right time.
So how about it? When are ya'll taking off work this year, in the hopes of dropping that buck?

Being a teacher of a private Christian school, chosen days off are difficult ... I will try and get any morning or leave early throughout ALL of bow season ....

It started in 2000 when I sold my business. It runs until I stop running.

Had to update mine a little, since I had my head up my back side earlier......I get 21 days this year, so I took every monday in october off, and I'm off from Nov. 5-16.

You know... it occured to me that with your connections with the big guy above, you should beable to just pick a day somewhere around the 9th-14th of Nov and come home a winner. Maybe you should work from that direction. Pick it and pray harder for food for the larder. Praying for big horns just seems wrong somehow.

September 3-13 for Colorado Elk.
November 1-7 for deer, and lots of evening and morning hunts in between. I'm fortunate with a flexible schedule to work very long days so I can take more vacation without actually using vacation days.
