1- The only thing I hunt for is deer. Our bow season starts around the middle of September, and I hunt every chance I get thru the end of the year. So YES, I do hunt every week during those months.
2- I take maybe a few days off for vacation if I am working. My job is pretty flexible, so I usually have some time off anyways.
3- My hunting spot is about 15 acres, and I run 4 trail cams year round. So that is my scouting. I have hunted this spot for about 10 years, so I pretty much know it like the back of my hand, and I dont like to pressure the deer there, so I try to stay out unless I am checking cams. I do try to get out as soon as the snow melts to do some shed hunting, and to just look around. I have 6 ladder stands, that stay out year round. I might move a couple of them thru out the year.
4- Private Land.
