360 hours this past season. Abut 15% of those hours were in the middle of the day. The two biggest bucks I saw were between 12:00-2:00 p.m. I live on the border of Texas, Arkansas. Can Bow hunt from Sept 27 to Feb 31st Between the two states and take a total of 6 deer. My wife want's to move. I told her go ahead.

Wow, Some of your wifes must feel freshly divoriced when hunting season starts,,,,,,,,

Not that some of them probably would'nt mind.[8D]

If you count rifle season then I would probably say somewhere around 100-120 hours if I had to hazard a guess.

Geez! Not nearly enough! Probably 20 hours scouting preseason, 8 hours first day- only saw 3 deer- no bucks. 2 hrs second day, shot an 8 point buck cleaned and checked in by 10 am. 16 hours or so the following weekend- nada. probably another 10 hrs with a friend near home- again nada. I've already got the itch to get back out there this fall- when is the first cold front going to come???

Usually between 60-80, depends on the family requirements and kids events. Like the others say, it's not nearly enough!

Swamp Dawg

Not nearly enough. Maybe 50-75. My hunting property is 12 hours away!

Thats rough hope you can connect this year to make the drive worth your time. Its one thing to be in the woods but 12 hours[:@]

Last season, I spent 172 hours on stand over the course of 43 hunts.

Somewhere around 210 hours.I wish I could double that

I haven't added it all up, but with an average of 3 days per week 3-4 hours in the morning and another 3 in the afternoon PLUS the weeks during the rut where I'm there dark to dark and I guess I'm the hundreds of hours range.
