I sat 28 times. It would have been more, but Indiana rapes non-residents on deer tag fees($150 to kill a doe is pretty expensive meat IMO)and I was done in Ohio.Season opened 29Sept and closes the 3rdof February.

Our season goes from September 15 until Jan 6th. Bowhunting is closed for the 9 day regular gun season at the end of November! I hunted front to back! During the Gun season I was at my property in Northern Michigan for 2 weeks gun hunting. It would be easier to count the days I didn't hunt! Honestly I couldn't tell you how many times I sat on stand this year, ALOT. One thing I do know I hunted more than ever but I scouted just as much if not more!!

Bow hunting deer= 3 sits
Bow hunting bear= 5 sits

I dont record my sits or my hours but a fair estimate would be 40 different sitsfor about 150 hours this season with the bow

im almost 15, ive bowhunted an average of 5-6 weekends a year. learned a lot bowhunting. helps me become a better gun hunter

should mention, after i shot my buck, i didnt hunt much. shot it with 4 weeks left to hunt, so this years numbers are fairly low. i had atleast 3, sometimes 4 days a week to hunt atleast one 4-5hr sit. saturdays i had all day to hunt, usually making 2 4-5hr sits on stand.

on my old PC i kept hours of each sit...average was right around 4-5hrs. dont count the hours i was walking or sitting in the dark either. just made sense not to count those hours.

once i killed my buck, i hunted a few more times "doe hunting" but was really scouting areas for next season and took the bow "incase" a doe came in..didnt try super hard...dont see many does in my bowhunting areas..then i moved during the last 2 weeks of the season so i didnt get to hunt at all.

average for me id say 6 week season by 3-4 days a week is 18-24 hunting days a season..the year before last, im sure i made alot more than 18 days out, but had a better college schedule so i was able to do so...all depends for me...

My Wife would ask if I do anything besides Bowhunt for about 3 months out of the year, and the answer would be No

I usually am hunting somewhere in Oct., Nov., & Dec. Then you got Turkey seasonI would say I am out Bowhunting between 50 and 100 days a year.

Some people take responsibilities too serious, I just Go Bowhunt!!

27 sits this year with an average of 2-3 hours per sit. It would sure be more if my schedule allowed.

Do some of you guys actually log your time on stand?? That seems a lot like work to me.[&:]

I have no idea how much I've hunted this year or any other for that matter. I guess if I thought about it I could come close.....but why the hell would I want to do that???

I hunted a lot this year.....that's the best I can give ya.
