I just e-mailed a spreadsheet in with my vacation times on it last night... a week for elk (beginning of Sept.) and a week for deer (end of Oct).

Then there'll be another 8-9 days taken here and there depending on weather fronts, temperature, etc. There'll proably be another 20-25 miscellaneous mornings or afternoons (usually afternoons; I'm just not a morning person) that'll get thrown in there, too.

There's a reason I started gearing my career several years ago towards outside sales... I've sat in on more than one conferencecall from atree stand. Heck, my final interview with the Regional Sales Vice President with my current company took place from 22 foot up an oak, and I watched forkhorn walk under me less than a minute after we hung up.
