I put down 5-10 because in the past I have only hunted with firearms. This will be my first year with a bow so I hope I can put somthing higher next year.

If I don't' make in into the woods 4 days a week I will go into severe shock, and could die...

Doc says it's the only cure for my Antlertitis...:D

I hunt 10-15 days a year. I'm not one of those guys that can hunt 24-7. I've got to have some sleep.

Including any big game species, normally about 50 or so. The number would be muchhigher if I could have married a sugar-mamma or won the lottery by now.

Fortunately I own my own business so I can usually sneak away for a morning or afternoon hunt almost everyday of the season. I try to take weekends off during season so I can hunt both Sat. and Sun. as well.

I hunt 3-4 days a week right after school. Every Sat...either am, pm or both. Then I spend at least two weeks in WV total.

Hmmm that's what i'm pondering right now. I got a promotion at work this week. It's great and I am very happy about it. However it means long hours and hard work. All of whichwill becutting into my "woods" time.

Of course as with anything that's just until I get things running smoothly. So hopefully I can turn things around fast!!

I take the entire month of Nov. off of work for hunting. Before and after Nov., I hunt evenings after work. Probably 60+ days of hunting deer.

Last year I didnt get to go... the year before that 2 1/2 days...., 2 yrs before that 1 weekend....

Growing up we spent all Thanksgiving week at the ranch, and usually 2 weekends in October for Archery season, and usually 2 weekends in December..... Someday I'll get back to that...

This year I've got Thanksgiving week (7 soliddays of hunting)slated to go, and1, possibly 2weekends in December.

It's amazing how so little time afield can leave you with sooo much in the way of withdrawals.....

As often as I can..which is at least twice a week. If the wife ever decides to get rid of me...it will be because of my hunting addiction!

I spent every day with the exception of 5 days in the woods last yr from OCT 1 to Dec31 deer hunting. I also have rabbit hounds so I would guess I spend around 200 days a yr in the woods doing something.

RE: How many days do you get to hunt??
 

I generally hunt 20 - 25 days out of the 54 we're allowed during the split archery season.

This year however, since I graduated in June, I'll be hunting whenever I'm not working. I'll probably be in the woods at least a few hours almost every day of the 54 I have.

RE: How many days do you get to hunt??
 

I put down the max because I was still in college and had plenty of time to hunt last year.

I work a rotating shift atmy new job meaning half a month total so I will still be in the woods a good bit.:D:D:D

I hunt in MO & IL, seasons open Sept. 15 and close Jan. 15. I get out some every weekend and at least a couple evenings after work each weekuntil we lose daylight savings time. Then it is dark when I get home. And usually take off a week to hunt during the rut.

This year is my first year owning my own business and I am enjoying it! I hope to hunt 5 out 7 days each week this year, but shall see how it goes with the wife, hehe. Each day in the woods is amemory we will cherrish forever.

RE: How many days do you get to hunt??
 

As many as I want. Last year I logged ~500 hours in the woods, would have hunted more but had to let my wife hunt a little too. I usually try to take a lay-off in Oct. and hunt at least7 hours a day. You have to have your priorities, life is to short to work yourself out of your passion, hobby, or whatever.
