I clock in somewhere in the 150-180 hr range. THat was my most by a lot. I can even comprehend you 250 hr guys

just bowhunting for deer...

i think i had over 40hrs in and killed my buck the 3rd saturday of the season. glad i did too, i only made it out like 2 more times...parents thought the last 2 weeks of the season was an awesome time to MOVE! they got lucky i killed mine early.

i cant tell you for sure..

wait i lied! i do have the excel log sheet i made on this new computer..forgot i transfered everything!

32.5hrs by 10/6/07

i know i hunted 10/12 for atleast another 4hrs.......say 36.5 and i already forget what time i killed my buck..say another 3hrs...39.5 by 10/13...that does include 14hrs of an early doe season...10hrs the first day and 4 the 2nd saturday of it. i dont really count that..i wasnt in my hot spots and didnt expect to see deer...but i was still hunting...

i think in between 10/6 and 10/12 i hunted atleast one more hunt but its not in the log and i cant remember...im almost certain i did though..and after 10/13 i know i hunted atleast 1 or 2 more hunts...

say...50hrs...imagine if i kept it up ALL SEASON!! i guess id probably still average out 20hrs a week and 120hrs or so...maybe 140ish if i sat all day or hunted longer during the tale end of the season...

i forgot i never finished my log...after killing the buck and moving i just forgot all about it [:@] i need to dig up the post i made the day i posted about it too..forgot all about printing it out to save...and, i wasnt as thourough with my log as i wanted to be....

haha...in those 32.5hrs i have logged i only have 2 bucks and 1 unidentified deer logged...i saw atleast 6 bucks total and a pile of unidentified deer.....man..i gotta stick with it next year...nice to see the info i do have...dates, times, weather...all helpful...forgot how hot it was last season! high on 10/6 was 88!! (i dont have an evening hunt logged for that day...i bet i hunted that evening..it was a saturday!

oh ya....that dont include anything BUT bowhunting for deer. include my coon hunting, turkey hunting, small game hunting, rifle season, flintlock season, predator hunting etc and you'll wonder when i sleep!!! there were 10hr days of bowhunting and 3-4hrs of running coonhounds!! theres 10hr days of bowhunting i put the bow in the truck, grab a sandwhich and take the shotgun for a walk in search of the turkeys i heard over the hill that morning or whatever...

and i goto college full time!! always time to do the things you love!

I loged over 200 hours in a stand maybe near 300 with a bow and maybe 30 with a rifle and did not kill a buck. I only shot 2 arrows this past fall and hit a small twig in front of a large buck in illinios in dec.the other arrow I recovered inside of a 4x4 bull in montana. That was a 3 week hunt. I hope to have many morefalls,with that many hours of hunting in the future

30 hours due to chool and work...and that resulted in a gut shot of my first deer on opening day[:@]

152

230 hours deer hunting last year.

I'm not sure how many hours I put in but I know it was 53 days. Killed a decent 130 class 8 pointer November 7th. On the 10th of Nov. got busted by a nice 160 class 12 point and spent every day out after that playing cat and mouse, saw him several times but never on the right stand at the right time. Passed on a nice 140 class 9 pointer over a dozen times waiting for the 12 pointer.

I'm not gonna guess hrs but my wife told me I have a problem.

My first wife used to say the same thing, haha.

42 days times 8 hrs = around 336
