Bob, this year will be tuff, but, I'm headed to Texas for Rio's come April. I also want to hunt Ohio, PA and NY as well. I sure hope to squeeze this all in this season!! Yes, some vacation time will surely be involved with this planning!!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

&quot;Spring Season....the Best&quot;!!!

RE: How many here take....
 

I'm taking two weeks vacation like I did last year for the last two weeks. I'll also bust my tail to hunt the first two weeks and be on midnight shift. Might have put in for a third week so when it's all said and done, I could rest <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I will take a week off to hunt in Wisconsin and probably take a couple fridays to make 3 day weekends for Michigans late season.
It would be nice to have all of April and May off.

RE: How many here take....
 

I will be taking a couple days each week along with reg. days off.so I will have like 4 days each week pluse an hr. or two the other days.it is only about 15 min. from my woods to work.

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

RE: How many here take....
 

I'm like Tree climber where my spot is only about 30 minutes from home and work. Of the hunting days (March 25 - April 11 bow, April 12 - 20 shotgun) I usually pick a few morning on a week day and hunt a half day in the morning and either work a half day or work late.

For shotgun season, opening day is always a Saturday and that is the only weekend day I'll hunt. Fortunately I've taken a bird on opening shotgun morning the last three years so I haven't had to do any week day hunts there. However that might change since I'm starting to put rookies behind my blind and just do the calling so they've got to get their bird before I can get mine.

Two weeks vac. is all I get per year and you can bet I'll take them turkey hunting. I put in for them the first day of work after Jan.1st. Plus I get most Wed.and Sat.

It`s going to be hard this year because of a project at work but i got the boss convinced that i don`t need to be there until 3:00pm.

RE: How many here take....
 

I get 2 weeks vacation each year, I take one week off during turkey season and the other off during deer season. I do get to hunt a couple of hours about every morning of turkey season, I'm just a little late for work on some mornings. If they don't like it, they will just have to get used to it.

RE: How many here take....
 

I'm taking time off, because the only week I could draw here in Wis, I'm scheduled to work 4 outta the 5 days. Would like to take time to go to SD or Nebraska, but goose hunt planned for Canada this fall will kill most of that funding.

on a normal year i used to miss about 15-20 days of school a year and was only sick one or 2 of them...but this year my dad got fridays and saturdays off so i can hunt and fish without missing school and i missed 2 days this year(did tag out the first day of deer season too so that helped get me back in school) turkey we usually take a week trip then if we sitll havent taken a bird we take a few more days...but this year i dont know whats going on..i know we have a few days...but im 16 this year and i got turkeys behind the house so dad can say he quits and im still able to hunt...it was nice when i was young..the end of the school year we did nothing..now we have finals and all kinds of stuff so i try to show up more...this year i will probally go on the normal week trip missing 5 days then hunt saturdays..maybe skip a day or 2 and hunt myself if i havent shot a bird yet...

RE: How many here take....
 

I take time off to guide depending on how booked we are. Usually I don't take time for myself because I usually save that for bow season. I do however hunt prior to work everyday for myself.

RE: How many here take....
 

I always take 1 week vacation for spring gobblers and 1 week in late october for archery. This year I am taking my week off to go to Nebraska so I won't being taking any vaction time during the Pa season.

RE: How many here take....
 

I'm not going to be able to go skiing this year on my Spring Break like I usually do every year because it falls different than everyone elses. Instead, I think I'm gonna head to Mississippi with my dad and try for turks on my Great Uncle's land. Usually, I'm just able to hunt on weekends here in the state. School gets out for me on May 2nd, and I may head to Kansas to try for turks then too.

All in all it'll cost a little over 200 bucks for both out of state licenses. Kinda expensive, but I'm sure good adventures await at both...plus I can't really kill one here in the Natural State...lol

My vacation at work is scheduled with huntin season.Soon as the first of the year arrives I let them know what weeks I want of in the spring and in the fall.

RE: How many here take....
 

I usually take 2 weeks for spring gobbler plus i have off every fri,sat and sun...

RE: How many here take....
 

I have taken 2 weeks vacation to spring turkey hunt for the last 10 years now and this spring will be no different. I can't imagine having to be at work during season anymore and knowing birds are out there gobbling waiting for your calls! It's the best vacation time you will ever spend, guaranteed! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: How many here take....
 

Every year I plan my vacation times around Spring and Fall. I would give up the fall, but NEVER the Spring!

I used to take a week off for the spring season until a new supervisor denied my leave because we were short (which is always the case). EXTENDED LEAVE can't be denied though, so now I take 2 weeks every spring--and 3 weeks plus for bowhunting deer in the fall!!

RE: How many here take....
 

I'm taking a week and half for WV and MD, 2 days for NY, 2 days for VT and 2 days plus weekends for here in NH. Spring time is the best!

RE: How many here take....
 

I take vacation for the first week of the season, then maybe another day off here and there during the season. I also hit a few weekends. I have to drive 2 hours to the closest spot that I hunt and about 4 1/2 hours to my favorite area, so day trips are rare.

RE: How many here take....
 

I'm taking two days off to hit the season opener on Mar 1 and 3 wks
to chase turkeys in AL & North FL (and visit family too).
