Say Hoythunter, Do you need any extrahelp in the fields this year...

Im off from Oct 30th untill Dec 4, I cant freakin wait. I have been saving vacation for afew years. My wife isnt to happy, oh well she will have to get over it wont she.

I have November 4-19 off. I'll be heading to Greenwood, NY (Steuben County) at about 5:00 PM Nov. 3. I'll get there in about 10-11 hrs., take a nap and head out at noon to make scrapes and set up my ground blinds. Then (if I can stay out of the beer cooler) I'll sneak into my old permanent stand at about 3:30 that afternoon!

I took off from work from Oct 28th thru Nov 18th. I think that should cover it . . . unless it's too hot again.

I have from October 15th - November 15th off, then go to Europe for a month! I don't want to go to Europe, I'll miss the Wisconsin & Michigan gun season! At least I'll get to hunt with muzzleloader!!!!

Either of the 1st and second week in NOV, I prefer the second.

Thanks! I know when I will be asking off.

You might ask your doctor if buck fever is covered under FMLA, if so, you get at least 10 weeks....

I hunt in Southwest Indiana and around here the best week to go is the week before the gun season starts. Gun season starts mid November. The first couple weeks in November is best around here.

Personally, if I was taking a week off from work, I'd rather hunt during the pre-hunt. I can pattern deer much better then the actual rut. During the actual rut when deer are paired off and does are receptive, it is much tougher to know where a buck is going to be. It's also much easier to time.
