RE: Taking time off from work W/O pay to hunt...
Im self employed and Im not married and I have no kids. So with that being said...if I cant shut down to go hunting than the hell with it. I only gotta feed me and I dont eat much so come October things definitely slow down until mid-Jan. I do without a lot of high ticket items and ride older vehicles to make sure I can do this but for me its absolutely worth it. Its all about quality of life..not quantity of money. I consider myself one lucky guy!!!
Theres gotta be a little bit of balance in life. I have learned over the years Id rather be happy and broke than miserable with money....
