I am fortunate enough to own my own business so I can set my schedule to nicely coincide with hunting season. I am just wondering how much you guys get to hunt during the season on average.

My plans for this year are Mon afternoon Wed morning Thurs all day Sat all day and Sun all day. This comes out to 4 full days each week or 16 full days per season leaving of course extra days for the rut. Shotgun is the same schedule for me and then 3-4 days of muzzleloader. I figure on getting about 40+/- days in the woods this year.

Needless to say my wife is a very cool woman...........who loves to eat venison

last season I hunted both days of opening week end.
Then I hunted all day every 2nd day except the week ends mainly cause it was public land and it was loaded with guys on the week ends.

For the six week season, I will hunt all Saturdays, mornings and evenings...if not all day...I hunt every day after work every chance I get...I leave work at 4:30 and until the time change, it allows me enough time to get into a tree without spooking the deer. I have a weeks vacation the second week of Nov which is the last week of our season and peak rut....I also have several other days off during the season like the first Mon and Tue that Matt/PA will come north and hunt with me. Lot' s of time in a tree for sure but that is one of the things I love about bowhuting. [:-]

I could better answer that if it was " how many weeks per year do you hunt"

This year I will have hunted three extended week long trips, then maybe 2 or 3 days a week average while I' m at work. I' ve been out hunting the last two nights, but taking tonight off to rest a sore throat, but I plan to be out tomorrow night, and hopefully about every night until I tag a caribou, then I' ll be out with the camcorder.

I' d say in a year I hunt 75 or so days, hopefully I' ll get alot more than that next season, starting with caribou in April, bears in May, small game in June, Caribou in July, then anything that is open from August to November.

I hunt in Arkansas, so I get a 5 month season. I usually only hunt Saturdays and that is usually every other Saturday. I take a week off in November and a 2 weeks in December. All in all I probably hunt about approximately 30 days a year. Not alot, but thats about as much as I can get out with family and work obligations.

The last 4 years I' ve been able to hunt every day after school and every saturday. This year I' m working part time so it' ll be cut back quite a bit. I' m hoping to get at least 3 days a week to hunt, possibly 4. This' ll take some getting used to.

Then there is the 8 days in November that I' ll be Illinois .
