What do you do?
 

I was wondering what everyone's occupation/job is and how that affects there ability to hunt financially/timewise/etc. I am a high school student so this basically sucks all around because I not only don't make any money but I don't have any time either.

RE: What do you do?
 

I am in high school too. I have a lawn care job thatI do in the summer to earn some money. During gun season if I get off of the bus run inside and change into my hunting stuff I can make it into the woods in time for the night sit. Then I can hunt all weekend long. My parnets do not care because I get good grades.
