I voted 0ver 75. IT IS MY ADDICTION!!! My wife always tells me I am going to run off the road someday looking for deer.

If time spent here counts, you can double that.:D:D:D
Good point .... time in HNI does NOT count!!!! :D



But I am learning here. That should count for something

I voted too fast.
I spend way over 75 hrs if you count practice, tuning bh's and being in the woods.
As I add new areas to hunt I 've learned to "speed scout" the old haunts , checking them for food sources and bedding areas to make sure they're in the samee general spots.
New area's get more time but some get dumped if I don't find what I like to see.

I shoot my bows year-round but only because I enjoy shooting my bows.Most of my hunting is at my cabin which is a 2 1/2 drive each way.I don't spend any time scouting,planting foodplots or whatever.I have a few permanent stands,some ladder stands,and a couple of chain on stands that I might tweak before the season but that's about it

Well I spend a few hours every week bowhunting hogs. Each one of those trips is a scouting trip. I also shoot my bow on a daily basis and pretty much just live a life that revolves around bowhunting, shooting my bow, working on equipment, etc. So I would have to say WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY over 75 hours.

Between driving to and from my place in PA, and Dan's place in NY and growing foodplots, hanging stands, making brush funnels and bedding cover in the woods, etc a TON. If I put in the same amount of time locally to my house glassing and knocking on doors to get permission I might have a few P&Y bucks on the wall by now, but my hopes are that eventuallywith some good management I will have my own little paradise down there in PA with very real chances to at least encounter some true slammers every year on MY property. It's getting there, another few years and I really hope to have something special for myself and my family and friends to share.

me to if you count shooting time its way over a 100 hours, the area I hunt is super thick so I spend at least 20 hours cutting in trails ang shooting lanes
