Default No time to hunt

Does anyone else have this problem....between school and work, I have almost no time to hunt. I can' t go after school and I work every saturday. I don' t work on sundays (store is closed), but hunting on Sundays here is unlawful[:@]

I can request off on saturdays, but my manager doesn' t really like it when I do that. It seems like I have three choices, take off from school, quit work, or quit hunting. I' d say #1 choice would be to take off a school day or two (or 3 or 4 or 5...) Any suggestions??

I agree. I mean, i got lucky, i work at a hunting store so they understand. lol. I also take a couple days of school during the year to go in the mornings and ive gone every day after school since the season has opened. I dont regret anything. Im not saying throw all your responsibility aside, but like young_gun said, you have your whole life to work, go tromp through the woods a little before you get stuck down to something you have to do every day. Keep us posted on what you decide.

I started my job August 27, it seems kinda early to quit. I doubt my manager would like it if I requested off until the middle of December (thats when gun season for deer is over).

Hey man i say follow your dreams. If your doing what you love to do, trust me you will find a way to make money at it. If you love to hunt, you could become a hunting guy or start a hunting ranch. If you are doing what you love, than you are doing something that will make you succesful in life, because though it may not pay a lot in the begining anyone that is inthusiastic about what they are doing and can make other people enjoy working with you than you will find a way to do what you love while you work!!!!!! I say quit your job and do a job that you love to do.
