RE: How many here take....
I'm like Tree climber where my spot is only about 30 minutes from home and work. Of the hunting days (March 25 - April 11 bow, April 12 - 20 shotgun) I usually pick a few morning on a week day and hunt a half day in the morning and either work a half day or work late.
For shotgun season, opening day is always a Saturday and that is the only weekend day I'll hunt. Fortunately I've taken a bird on opening shotgun morning the last three years so I haven't had to do any week day hunts there. However that might change since I'm starting to put rookies behind my blind and just do the calling so they've got to get their bird before I can get mine.
