Default hours per week on stand

Roughly, how many hours would you say your out hunting per week? And how does that compare to what you woud like it to be? I'm hoping for at least 10 to 15 hours. That covers at least 1 night after work and most of 1 day during the weekend.

Last few years I would say about 25 hours a Week but hopefully about 18 a week or so this year due to Job change in the near future!!

I am looking at 15-20 each week until I take a vacation for the first couple of weeks during November, possibly hunting 40 hours a week or so.

Between 20 and 25 hours a week most of my hunting time are evening sits. But i have saved most of my vocation and plan on taking the first and second week of November off, so i will be hunting mornings and evenings. Unless I see real good deer movement then i'll stay in my stand all day.

I hunt every evening during the week except Tuesdayand then most of the day on Saturday. It usually ends up to be about 22 hours a week. I hope to sneak a quicky morning hunt in once or twice a week this year.
