theres been alot of times i had time to hunt but didnt go because of time AFTER. if im obligated to something RIGHT after i know i wont have time to finish the job if i score. i hunt alot before class or work depending on the day..if i got a test or something in class i wont hunt incase i would score. by the time i track, gut, drag, take to a butcher etc im looking at a couple hours EASY..plus clean up. and im prepared to call off work need be or skip a class if i know its not THAT important...leaving a deer for a week youll probably never see it again. stay over and find it or dont shoot!
