When will your "hunting" vacation be this year?
This is a rather interesting fall. Being a leap year kinda messed me up a little, and the second full moon is late this fall, Nov. 13. I can't take off the 1st of any month due to inventory responsibilities, so I can't take my "normal" week off. Also, MO's rifle season is early this year, opening on Nov. 8. I don't rifle hunt, but I will go some w/ my bow, but I don't take that week off like most people I know do. Also, with it being earlier this year I think the artillery will take out a few more bucks than average. So I had a real delima as when to take off this year.
I decided on Oct. 27, and Nov. 5-11. Looking @ quicksilver's poll, that looks to be the right time.
So how about it? When are ya'll taking off work this year, in the hopes of dropping that buck?

RE: When will your vacation be this year?
I just got back from a nice warm Florida vacation...
Since I have better than 200 hours of PTOcoming to me I'll probably take a week this summer and a week or so this fall during the rut...

Edited for "hunting" vacation......
I'll take a day when Rob comes down to turkey hunt in a few weeks.
I'll take a few days here and there during the magic time (deer hunting).....but I'm playing it by ear.

I'll take Nov. 10-18 for my trip to OH. I'll probably be taking a few days here and there for turkey hunting too, and jump out early for some archery evening hunts at spots near work.
