Well....i wasnt keeping count, but i would say over half of the season was spent in the woods.

About 35 individual days in the field. Not necessarily full/whole days, though. This would include my short morning and afternoon forays. Got to pay the mortgage! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>.

first year in 20 bowhunting, saw about 50 deer the first 2 weeks shot at 2,missed ,and hit the third a big buck but looked for 2 days and could not find him, lots of blood and half a arrow. I was in the woods about 50 times, most after work and every weekend for 12 weeks, my wife can`t wait till jan31 so i will be home every weekend when she wakes up and be home when she get home from work. I got 3 deer with a muzzleloader but none with a bow, but I have 2 weeks left and I will bag one

Our bow season here, in Ontario, starts on Oct 1st and runs thru Dec 31st, except the two 5 day periods where the shotgun/rifles & muzzleloaders kick in. I would say during the bow season I would have sat in stands about 35-40 times or there about.

NOT ENUF <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>!!!

Sept 11 put a big hamper on things for me (gaurd duty). I did get 2 weeks off in august for a float trip (caribou). Spent 3 days hunting in Mn, shot 2 deer. Was hoping to get back up north for bou after oct 1 to see if I couldnt herd a biggun into my cab and pen him up in the condo but that was a no go, uncle sam prevailed. I did call in a bull moose, never saw much but dang did he get ticked at me....definatly was within shooting range however the thick alder/young poplars made visibility very poor. Great grouse hunting though, saw more then a few there. Also have called in 7 fox this year, personal best. Still learning however, when I see them I can get them to come...if I dont see them my odds are VERY bad LOL! Hopefully this year will be a different story. Looks like I am headed north for a photograph/black bear spot-stalk hunt. Fall for elk (if drawn), mulies, sheep, caribou and what ever else I can figure out...possibly a moose hunt if time prevails....Unlike normally though this year was a great success even with the limited time in the field. Your company can and will ALWAYS make or break a hunt. This year I had 2 of my old bow buddies with me, shot a deer with one of them, dang near did with the other one. Met some great folks and did a float with them...spent a good amount fishn with them also. Wish I had taken more photos though. Being capt of a raft and taking photos dont go hand in hand!!!

2 weeks vacation, plus every Saterday, and I am lucky enough to get in an hour or 2 depending on the time of year before work in the mornings. I useualy wait for blackpowder for my morning hunts, just don't have time for tracking, and the weather is so warm during bow season You need to take care of the meat quick!

About half the season, which was not enough. Next year i not pass on the cows.

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

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?
 

Probably 30-35 times, got my buck on Thanksgiving morning.

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

Not enough, this working for a living sure gets in my way! About 30-35 full days.

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

Our early bow season (before gun) was approx 7 weeks. I only missed 5 days during that time.Pushing 300 hrs in the tree.

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.:)

I was out in the field to bow hunt around 50-60 times this year, either morning or evening sits of about a 3 hour average sit with a few all-day sits thrown in.

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

between 40-50 half days....5 full days, and most of my shots occured those full days.

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

36 Days & 47 different hunts spread out though those days. It would be a lot more but I finished hunting on Thanksgiving and the season is open another week yet.
