That's the one thing that stinks about being in education (as I am, being a grad student and a teaching assistant). You get so much time off in the summer, but that about coincides with almost no hunting seasons to speak of.
It worries me to think that, Lord-willing when I get a teaching position at a university somewhere, I am unlikely to get to go on a road trip hunt out West.
On the other hand, that first job (these days, aspiring college professors don't get to choose where they end up) could always come out West. Then I might only have to drive a couple hours to get to get to some backcountry, instead of a couple days.
