Pa has a short 6 week season, and you aren' t allowed to hunt sundays, so I do the best I can to hunt 4 of 5 days after work, even if only for a little bit. And all saturdays. I have 1 full week off and a few other days scattered here and there as well.

During archery, before DST, I get out almost every afternoon during the week and then each Saturday...all day most times. That would be 5 to 6 days a week for the first 3 to 4 weeks of the season. Then when DST arrives I only get out on Saturdays. That would bring the total in archery to around 22-24 days. I get out for 3 days of our rifle season...the first monday and then the two saturdays....and I also go out for about 7 or 8 days of our extended archery/after christmas hunt. That would bring the total of deer hunting days to around 33-35.

Ofcourse, I also small game and migratory bird hunt as well. :)

Well I must be lucky. I work 2 jobs most of the year and am lucky enough to take 6 straight weeks off for hunting. I take the last 2 weeks of October and the entire month of November off from work. In October I usually hunt in the mornings and come out for lunch. I then return for the evening hunt. Once Nov 1st rolls around I hunt the next 4 weeks daylight till dark. This has been my best weapon in simply spending 12 hours a day on stand for 4 straight weeks during November. You would be surprised at the deer that move in the middle of the day. " Hunt till it Hurts" !!!!!

Well if I wanted a divorce I could hunt every day for almost 6 months, but I love my wife and kids so I hunt 2-3 afternoons every week of the season and take off at least 1 week to strictly hunt.

Yea these guys make me sick:D

Stinking up the woods every single day, so by the time you or me get out there the darn deer are so scared they don' t move:D[:-]

It can really blow sitting at work on those perfect mornings - but to be honest I couldn' t handle getting up at 3:30 every morning. I would get burnt real fast.

Working all week lets you appreciate the few measly hours we get to hunt.

Sticking one on Sunday afternoon though can be one heckova pain:D

I' m out there pretty much every weekend from Oct 1 until Miod January when season ends in Illinois. I use a couple vacation days and (cough cough) sick days during the week to sneak out of the office to chase deer as well.

It depends on my work schedule. I am on call one night a week and one weekend a month. (veterinarian) I' ll hunt most every morning before work and every evening unless I' m on call. I hunt every Saturday and Sunday that I' m not on call. My boss allows me to come in late and leave early during deer sesaon. I can schedule my appointments around my hunting.
