Do you hunt before or after work?
 

I really count myself lucky that I am able to hunt most days after work, how many others here get to do that, either after or before school or work?

I'm inbetween jobs right now so I get to hunt all day if I want. But usually I get to hunt evenings after work. I had to borrow a bow from my friend to hunt with though so I'm not hunting much.

KEEP IT LEGAL. KEEP IT SAFE. OR WE MAY NOT GET TO KEEP IT AT ALL.

I am a teacher and during the month of November I hunt before school for about an hour then a couple of days a week I will hunt after school. I hunt several evenings a week during December and get to see deer frequently so it is well worth it. I really like December because the weather is always cool or cold so you dont have to worry about sweating and you can see forever in the woods. Like somone on my post mentioned you need to be pretty high so as to not be detected though. I guess that was a littl of the question but ya I hunt ever time I can.

Both during the rut. Otherwise after work. Anytime is a good time to hunt!

My hours suck. Working 9 to 5 with a forty minute drive all the deer stay alive until Saturday when I spend as much time in the woods as possible. NJ does not allow Sunday hunting. In the early season I can get out after work, but daylight loosing time screws that up.

In the early season, I am able to hunt morning and night. Later on after the time change, I cant get out of work early enough to hit the nite hunt. So its mornings only from late october on.

I work evenings 4 days a week and I Home School my son in the mornings. I dont get to hunt the mornings to much anymore. That really dosent bother me to much anymore because I have been having a blast hunting the daytime and evenings. I have been blessed with 2 bucks and a button so far this year plus the husbands buck in all gave us more meat than we can fit in our chest freezer, so now I am after a turkey and coyote with my bow. I like you consider myself very lucky!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

My hours allow me to hunt hard after work up until time change. After the time changes I might get out 1 or 2 times, but I have to leave work early and I only get about an hour on stand. But sometimes an hour is better than none after a day at work!!

I hunt mainly in the afternoons. I can take my vacation time in 1/2 hour increments and I save several days to divide up so I can leave early and hit the woods--like this afternoon. I like going in when I can see everything and get in my spot instead of bulldozing in the dark and spooking everything around.

Where I lived when I worked it was about two hours to go hunting ,so before or after work was out of the question . Now that I have retired I can go anytime the mood strikes me .

Most of our daily caribou trips are after work. Sometimes we break free a little early to get some extra time out there. I've had nearly all of my success in afternoon or night hunts, rarely, if ever in the morning.

Mostly after work, but on occasion I have went out before.

Pennsylvania's fall archery season is a scant 6 weeks, so I try to make the most of it. I'm lucky to be able to hunt just a few minutes from my house. This year I was able to hunt twice a week after work and on saturdays, plus I tried to drag myself out of bed at least 3 times a week to hunt before work...even though I may only have had the first 15 minutes of light to hunt before hustling to work. If/when I actually get lucky before work, I'm able to call in to say I'll be late. Those brief, before-work hunts have actually paid off twice in the last two years; last year when I stalked a handsome buck, and this year when I arrowed an old doe.

I don't normally huny before or after work but the one time I did this year I went out before going to work and took my biggest buck ever, a nice 9 point.

can't hunt morning's and evening I might get to once or twice but time change messes that up,but I work for a cable company and work the area I live in so I hunt on my lunch hour it's only an hour but it's better than nothing

I typically get to hunt 3 evenings a week. Sometimes more sometimes less. I can hunt in the morning if I'm on something hot but it really screws up my work schedule so I don't like to.

Ive managed to bank my overtime at work so I have been able to get out morning and evening. I get out about 3 mornings a week and 5 evenings.

I get in the majority of my hunting in after work. I am fortunate to have a job where I am able to flex my hours from time to time so that I can get in a good couple hours after work 2-3 times per week.

I work 8:30 to 5:00 everyday, so I get to do neither. The only time I get to go is on a day off or weekends. (I took 10 days off this past bowseason).

RE: Do you hunt before or after work?
 

the lord has blessed me very well when it comes to hunting. I can useually hunt before work in the mornings. It's only 2 to 2 1/2 hours at most as my start time is 9:30. I can walk out my back door and be in a stand in short order. I generly don't bowhunt before work though. It's normaly hot, and if something goes wrong, I may not be able to revover the animal in time. I do however muzzle and rifle hunt. I don't have a huge number of deer, but it's enough to keep me going, and I do have the chance at a decent buck. 2 of the 4 deer I killed this year have been befor work.
