Geez, leave it to me to post on the wrong one, lol. Here it is on this one.

I didn't spend much time deer hunting either, but managed to spend about 50 days in the field hunting different species.

Not as much as I wanted to. I didn't keep count but it has been about 1/3 of the season. Our bow season started Sept. 1st and ends Jan. 31st. I will be out tomorrow.

RE: How many days did you bow hunt this year?

Only 3 part-days. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

1st and 2nd mornings and evenings of early opener. Got my buck 2nd evening.

1st morning of late doe season. Got doe.

However, I did plenty of preseason 'bow scouting'; That is, I spent many hours before both seasons observing and deciphering travel routes and patterns. So, in a sense, that was really my serious hunting time. And it was most enjoyable.
