No less than 400 hrs a season. Man you should hear my wife talk about me and hunting. I dont play golf or anything else but hunt. And when I hunt I hunt. For atleast the first week of bow and gun season I stay on stand from daylight til dark. She says Im crazy, Ive never doubted her either.

If I went out everyday during deer season (meaning I hadn't yet got my deer) I would spend just shy of 220 hours on stand.
That's just deer season.
I figure 14 hours a day (4:00AM - 6:00PM) x 4 weekends a month for two months.
Now with Bear and Elk added to the equation I'd say around 300 - 310 hours.

I spent over 300 hours last year in a stand while bowhunting whitetails. The funny part was on the first day I hunted in November 4 hours into the season I harvested this:
I spent the next 296 hours on stand and never got another shot at a mature buck!![:@]
