RE: How many of you ever....
I have never had to, but I probably wouldn't accept a job if it didn't offer decent vacation. My time in the summer with Lisa (she's a teacher) and my time hunting is too important to me.
With that said, I have on several occasions timed up the gap between new and old jobs with a hunting season. One time I managed to get the first full week of bow season off between jobs, (and then went for another full week in November), and then between my last and current jobs I timed it up with the first full week of spring turkey season. ;) |
RE: How many of you ever....
I haven't turned down a job because of hunting, but I have left a job to find a new one that afforded better hunting opportunities and it does have a bearing on the jobs I look for. For example, I have turned away interviews in the city for 6 figure positions because well they are in the city. The extra tax, commuting costs,and inability to hunt isn't worth it.
I always like it when I go to an office for an interview and see a nice stand of woods in the back.;) |
RE: How many of you ever....
Man I love my job. 12 vacation days a year. 10 sick days a year. 8 paid holidays a year. 10 days paid during Christmas & New Years. Total of 40 paid days off. The 10 for Christmas really offers a chance at a long late season hunt. And the 12 vacation days will increase to 15 after July!:D

RE: How many of you ever....
ORIGINAL: M.Hensler/PA Probably not. I don't get much time off in the hunting season as a teacher. I get up to 5 personal days per year, and 10 "sick" days. I used zero of each this year (my first year so I'm trying to make an impression). I get ALL of the fishing time I want in the summer, lol, but I would rather have the hunting time off....BUT having ~12-13 weeks of vacation a year is a hard prospect to walk away from just because most of those weeks don't fall during hunting season. I still get out every evening during the week I want, and would rather hunt the evenings anyways. I |
RE: How many of you ever....
My old job only allowed 2 weeks a year even after fifteen years! My present job started with 21 days a yearthen after five years I went to 29 days. Also no weekends. I've neverbeen able to hunt so much before. Life is good.

Original Rick James I have never had to, but I probably wouldn't accept a job if it didn't offer decent vacation. I have been very fortunate with my jobs and my time off and loose schedule. |
RE: How many of you ever....
Well, for the last 24 years, neither was really an option for me.;)
