RE: How often do you hunt?
From October 1 to November 1 I'll hunt on average two evenings during the week after work and once during the weekend (either a morning or an evening but never all day).
Then on November 1, I'm gone to to bow camp for 8 or 9 days and hunt all day every day.
By the time that's over, I'm usually done for the season. I may get out two or three times in December if I haven't filled my tags yet.
We have 3 young kids and my wife works alot of hours so she won't tolerate much more than that right now.

RE: How often do you hunt?
thats TOO MUCH?!?!?!?!
man i aint never gettin married!!!!
my life and schedules are always different....but im 21 and not married...mom and girlfriend can have a cry fest if they dont like it...if i wanna go huntin, im goin huntin...mom tried complaining about my coon hunting...id leave the house at dark and not come home till midnight or somewhere around there...she didnt like being home alone(dad working sister not home..) i said MOM! you and i BOTH know theres MANY things that are ALOT worse than coon hunting for me to do...what would you rather me be doing? she said oh....ya..go hunting..have fun be careful!! nuff said...
average i hunt 3-5 days a week...if you count the different "hunts" well...its 5-10 easy...some days i'll turkey hunt the morning and coon hunt the night...or deer hunt the morning then the evening then go coon hunt...theres days i leave the house at 0dark30 and dont come home till midnight and was hunting pretty much the whole time....
perks of being 21 and single i suppose...i realize once i have a wife and family i will have to slow down....but i'll still get out....
buy a coon hound...that will really make your wife happy!! that way you can spend 7 nights a week in the woods with just your hound!! when she complains tell her you gotta hunt atleast 4-7 nights a week to keep the hound all tuned up!!

I try to get out at least 3 times during the week after school. On the weekend I go both of the mornings and at least one night. This is for deer hunting. For turkey hunting I am mainly a weekend warrior.

RE: How often do you hunt?
I get opening day off of work for archery, muzzleloading, and rifle season so it is an all day affair. After that it is pretty much every morning before work, and every evening after work. Of course there are a few missed days, but I'm pretty much out there everyday I'm allowed to be.
