I just completed night school, and while in school I couldn't wait until the end so I didn't have to spend so much time on schoolwork. That way when deer season came around, I would be able to focus on hunting much more.
I do have more time now I guess, but I would be very frustrated if I delayed school and still had classes to take. I hunted throughout school anyway.
Now I can proudly say I have a Bachelors Degree from Johns Hopkins. It's all over and now and I can sit in my tree stand not worrying about homework.
Yes, it goes fast. You will be out before you know it. Bottom line - Don't delay school, just get it done and learn many great things. HUNTING will always be there, big bucks and all.
Thanks for your honorable service in the Middle East. I spent a year there myself.
