I always hunt on my days off unless it's Sunday (there's no Sunday hunting where I live and football is on right after church anyway).

Since I work a 4 on 2 off schedule PLUS I take off 3 weeks in late Oct/early Nov, I probably got out all or part of 45-50 days.

50 times out hunting(not full days just times I hunted). I am lucky to have excellent bow and ml areas real close to home that allow me to hunt after or before work so inside 30mins. I travel 4 hours for both Elk and Moose hunts. 1 1/2 -bear and 1 1/2 for my rifle WT deer area.

I spent around 40 days in the woods bowhunting last fall. That work thing always seems to get in the way though[:@]. One spot I hunted, I was in my treestand 15 min. after I left my house. The other spot is 30 min. drive plus 30 min to 1 hr walk. Makes for some mighty early mornings in September

I live in good whitetail and great elk country in western MT, but still feel duty bound to try to hunt the entire blinking state. I scout whitetail winter and spring and elk in the summer. In five years I've hunted in 5 of 7 regions here. I'll hunt 50+ days in a season if I take too much time filling tags, but last year I only got in 29 days, for 3 antelope, 2 whitetails, and an elk. My favorite whitetail areas are 500 miles from home, and I take a week in November to go there, then hunt weekends around home. In September, I take 16 days off to bowhunt elk. Then, if I can scrape up an extra week of vacation, I'll travel 600 miles to SE MT for antelope in October. I kind of have it made, but I've become a hunting bum, everything else comes second.
