Default How many days will you take off?

How many days this year will you take off of work? How many hours do you think you will log in the stand?

Usually I take 10 days off. Eight of them will be spent in Wisconsin this October though.

Won't be taking any off (not working). As far as being in the woods, I don't want to even guess on that one. Depending on the deer, it might be a few hours or long enough to qualify my wife to have me declared dead and collect the insurance money. I am hoping for a happy medium somewhere less than the latter.

Probably take of 6 days and I don't have any idea on how many hours. It will all depend on what's going on at work.

I put the golf clubs away and shut down my golf course right around bow season (mid October). I'm in the woods EVERY single day of hunting season.
