RE: Bowhunting time allotment
My whole life basically revolves around hunting season - so I've found hobbies that are never in conflict..
January - Skiing and hunting with primitive gear (if I have any tags left)
February - Shed hunting
March - Shed hunting
April - Shed hunting/turkey scouting (simultaneously)
May - Turkey Season
June - Long Range Groundhog Hunting/ Mountain Biking
July -Long Range GroundhogHunting/ Summer Vacation / Mountain Biking
August - Still walking around with the Groundhog gun, but now I'm glassing deer with it.
September - Glassing deer and checking the oak groves for mast. Shooting bow.
October - Bow hunting
November - Early November is archery, later November is gun season
December - Early December is gun season, then Christmas/Skiing
I actually do a little bit of fishing - but it's sprinkled around throughout the year - and I only go fishing if I have nothing else to do. A hobby of last resort, if you will.
