Default Do you work harder hunting than on the job?

Just curious. I think I might because of all the preparation, carrying gear in and out, watching the wind, on high alert, placing and moving stands, on stand in bad weather at times, and not even counting dragging/field dressing/loading a deer. Its sometimes mentally tough along with the physical part. Does that make me a slacker at work?

I work hard at hunting but not near as hard as I do at work.

I definitely enjoy it more than I do my job!!! Just because you're passionate about this sport, doesn't make you a slacker at work.

I used to, but my job these days is just stressful and not too physical.

Hmmm... sitting at my desk or climbing 2000' on a 3 mile hike? No doubt about it now that I'm off of commercial fishing boats!

Let's see: Sitting on my butt in a heated and A/C office for 8 1/2 hours a day in front of a computer, or dragging 30+ pounds of hunting equipment up and over steep banks, hills, across rivers. then climbing up 25+ feet in a tree and sitting in freezing temps. for hours on end. And that doesn't include actually getting a deer. That is when the real work starts!

Hunting, by a mile. Both physically & mentally.

X2 My job is pretty easy compared to how hard I work at hunting. I still do a good job and take pride in my work, but it's not physical and while hectic at times for the most part is a good gig.
