My vacation, but not the family's vacation. The best possible sort of vacation for me. Hard work, probably. Sweaty, probably. But the best possible sort of rejuvenation, refreshment, renewal, motivation for me.

RE: Is hunting your vacation?
 

I go on two vacations a year, both to the mountains. One in the summer with the family and the other in the fall to hunt. I tell people that my hunting vacation beats up my body and rests my mind! You better believe it is a vacation!

RE: Is hunting your vacation?
 

Yes, it's a vacation that I take about every weekend during the fall. The work aspect of hunting is fun to me. All of my "normal" vacations usually involve strenuous activity too.

My first post.
Yes, hunting is my vacation.....but it's no vacation!

RE: Is hunting your vacation?
 

Yeah,multi-day remote hunting trips are a vacation of sorts.... a working vacation.... very memorable though.

I sure enjoy the other stuff though too, things the Colorado high country can't provide: scuba diving a brilliant coral reef, sailing from island to island,visiting different cultures, etc, etc, etc.

Vacation: (noun) "a period of suspension of work, study, or other activity, usually used for rest, recreation, or travel; recess or holiday"
For me, that's a tuffy. You see, I live 1 1/2 hours (or less) from elk, deer, moose, lopes, bear, stream, river, lake fishing and hunting. So I can't call it a vacation by definition . . .
Just another weekend in the woods!

RE: Is hunting your vacation?
 

Yes, Hunting is a working vacation for me. The only hunting time I value, is time I spend hunting by myself. I take other people huntingalso, but I dread taking them along. I only take them because, I have to take them.[:o]

I keep one week of vacation time specifically for the PA rifle season, that is unless I have two weeks to use.

RE: Is hunting your vacation?
 

Any extended period of time away from work is a vacation for me...
