I usually hunt 25-30 days in the fall. This year I will be elk hunting for a week (leaving Friday after work), then a few weeks to re-connect with home and off for another week hunting moose. The rest of the season will be spent chasing deer closer to home during ML and Rifle seasons. I try to get out 2-3 times a week but rarily for the entire day, usually I hunt either early morning or evening. I also try to get to my cabin in the forest fringe areafor a few full day hunts during the rut (mid nov.) if I still have a tag to use and the wife allows it!
