Title: Hunting days per season
Post by: LaLongbeard on January 29, 2016, 01:20:44 PM
I'm working 7-12's for the next month and a half so  I can take off the whole 6 week Turkey season. How many days a season does everyone else get to hunt?

If I'm lucky I get 10-12 hunting days in the spring.

I usually get out there 20-22 days per year.  Our season is 30 days.  Can't get it all off but I take a pretty good amount of time off work to take grandkids and a friend or two hunting in addition to my own hunting.

This year probably 13-17 calendar days, but some of those will be only a morning or quick afternoon hunt.

I usually put 20-25 days in, might hit a morning before or after work when I can. More of my hunt time is spent doing "Learn to Hunts", Youth Season/Hunts and taking friends out and some video work for a few buddies. I'll tag 4-5 myself but have some fun doing the rest of it!

Not near as many as I'd want to this spring probably. Work will interfere with that. In the past seasons probably 15 to 20 trips morning and afternoon combined.

8-10 days if I am lucky. Having two boys in little league hits the weekends and work hits the weekdays. Fortunately I am now free this year to come I to work late a day or three each week. And I have vacation time. Should be good. Not going to miss my kids games tho. I grew up not having a dad so that's real important to me

Our season here in NY runs May 1st through the 31st, 1/2 hour before sunrise to noon and I'm lucky to be able to hunt pretty much every day. If It's raining hard I don't hunt. Other than that, don't look for me at home before noon. ;D

Should get the first 6 days in Alabama and 21 days in TN, so 27 total.

20+. I get to hunt pretty much all I want so some years I hunt more than others.  I think I'll get 5 states this year if everything goes smoothly with a hook up in Louisiana that might make no.6.

Indianas season is only 19 days and has been the only state that I've hunted turkey's so far. Last yearbmy season lasted 30 mins into opening morning. Then I talked the wife into trying to get her 1st bird. We hunted the 1st weekend with no luck didnt even hear a gobble. Later on the first week I found some birds and the Sun morning of the 2nd weekend she was able to harvest her 1st bird. The last weekend I took a youth hunter out to try to get his first bird he wasn't able to connect but came close and had fun.
This year I plan on trying to hunt Ohio before the Indianas youth hunt when my son will be going on his 1st hunt. I guess to extend my season I like taking kids and my wife out. I mainly only get to hunt for a few hrs in the mornings because of my work schedule. I would say I'm able to get out hunting for 4 to possible 6 full days and maybe another 5 to 8 morning hunts for a few hrs.

I hunt just about every day, working mid night shift I take leave at 4am every morning I work so I can hit the woods.  Only days I don't get off early is if we have scheduled court.

i usually only get 4 or 5 mornings to hunt but i get off work at 4:30p.m. so im in the woods by 5:oo in the evening almost everyday.i prefer the mornings but since i dont get that many and have to kill most of mine in the evening,i believe it has made me a better hunter.i think they are harder to kill in the evening.my old job was alot better for hunting and i miss it because of that,i would schedule two weeks of vacation starting on opening day,man i miss that!..

I can only do 5 days here on base. Can only shoot shotgun on Saturday's.

I am trying to find some local land to hunt, but usually people are not so open to outsiders hunting on their land. I am not from here, so I have no family connections.

7-10 days if the stars align. I take off and hunt the first three days of Ohio season and then once every weekend.

This is one reason I do enjoy being in college. I do not have a class before 1:30 pm so I will get to hunt Indiana, Ohio, or Kentucky almost every morning of their seasons. Gotta soak up this freedom before I get tossed into the real world I guess. Add in a spring break trip to AL and possibly a weekend tri[p or two to TN and I'm looking at 30-35 days of grinding this spring
