I feel your pain as I am a police officer and work all kinds of shifts. I guess its good having a LT and Chief that deer hunt alot to so they understand from Oct on. Our shifts here are 7-3, 3-11, and 11-7. I worked all last season from 11pm to 7am and gone hunting both morning and evening! We are not like drug addicts and have to work to support our habit! good luck
