Well I only logged about 80 hours in the stand (my fewestin a lot of years)while deer hunting. Pretty much because I killed my deer early on. But if you include elk hunting, turkey hunting, hog hunting, coyote hunting... etc. then it totals up a LOT more than that.

I only spent around 20 hrs bowhunting before I tagged out.....because I just havent had extra time the last couple years. I used to spend about 30 hours a week (more as the rut picked up), every week, before tagging out.

Last season I spend about 200 hours hunting late season with a muzzleloader tho. All day every day for about 3 weeks.

Bowhunting = 100 hrs.
Gun = 50 hrs.
Shotgun for birds = 60 hrs.

Night shift works great, off at 5:00 in the stand by 6:00 and in bed by 10:00 almost+everyday for 7 months. I would guess 300+ hrs, 14 does, no shooter bucks.

I tend to keep track of days hunted more so than hours... (not all days were full days obviosuly)

1 week hunt in Colorado, about 10 days in Montana and then around 35 days hunting whitetail around home...

I couldn't begin to count. Spring turkeys in Michigan and Wisconsin. Coyote hunting in Michigan and Wisconsin. Grouse hunting in Michigan, Bowhunting Deer in Wisconsin from Sept until Jan,. Fall Turkey hunting in Michigan and Wisconsin, Muzzleloader hunting in Wisconsin for 9 days. Pheasants in Wisconsin, Bowhunting in Michigan for 3 weeks and gun hunted in Michigan for 12 days. I would have to say I hunted a lot! I think next season I'm going to start taking some field notes for myself!

I don't keep track like I used to, but I know I EASILY did 200+. Mostly bow, but I did take my flintlock for a couple walks, and my rifle only about 20 hrs.
