Self employed tinsmith.
Normally turkey hunt around 20 times a year.
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

I work for a large automotive plant as a maintenance man. Been doing it for about 13-14 years. I like my job. But I don't get much more than 12-13 days a year. I make a good living and my family doesn't want for anything. However I wish I had used my skills to work for myself before I got caught in the industrial life... I'm still young maybe that changes and I will one day work for myself. Then that number will be 40-45 days a spring haha
Well when you branch out and need an employee, put me in coach!.

Retired public school facilities supervisor. Now I make turkey calls. Usually hunt 15-25 days depending on tag usage. 2 or 3 states each year for the past several years.

This was one of the most enjoyable posts I've seen in awhile. Quite a wide range of talent here on OG!

Bourbon distiller

Usually take two or three weeks vacation during turkey season . I work third shift so I can usually go hunting after I get off as well .

Are you at one of the bourbon trail distilleries?  We have toured many of them

I work for Jim Beam . They have real nice tours .

NOmad

I manage a team of associates at a global money management firm. I save the majority of my PTO for spring and turkey hunt 25-30 days per year and typically 5-7 states. Unfortunately, a lot of my hunting is done over the weekends at this stage in my life.

Marc

Optometrist (eye doc).

I hunt 3 days/week most of the 3 month duck season.  2 days/week most of the turkey season (except Easter) or until I tag out.
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

Retired Pa. State Corrections Officer.  Worked that career for 27 years.  Got to retire early.

I get to hunt and fish whenever I want.  It is wonderful.
Deer see you and think you are a stump. The Old Gobbler sees a stump and thinks it is YOU!

Did carpenter work for around 11 years in my younger days. Then I did computer graphics for screen printing for about 30 years until I retired. I use to hunt 8-15 days a season. The last few years I've hunted probably 4-7 days.
