I have a unique situation......in that I live 15 minutes from my office...and also have to travel to my project sites from time to time (every week).

I choose to take my vacation time with my family.....during non-hunting times (but it doens't always work out that way). We've been to Mexico, already.....going back, there, in October (for a week DURING bow season).....and we'll probably do Canada this fall, as well.

"Unique"....becasue I can hunt some mornings without taking vacation time. I can also get out early some evenings to do the same....and I can hunt EVERY evening until the time changes.

When I knew the time was right and the buck I was after was frequenting the area I could kill him in.....I was in a tree, there, every morning (legal). I'm lucky to be able to do this. As a youger man.....I wouldn't have been afforded that luxury.
