Canadian

Have my own business as a bricklayer. I went on my own last June. Regardless of how busy it is, i hunt every day in Canada (April 25th - May 31st) plus a few states each year. By late season in Canada, we can legally shoot by 5:15am (sunrise is at 5:45 late season), so i can hunt before work even if start time is @ 7:30. Cut off time is 7 here, so i go after work too, even if its just for 30 mins. When my tags are filled (2 in Canada), i keep going and record hen audio and/or just enjoy every spring morning.

Awesome reading what everybody does. Good post

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 .

I'm a production manager for a home builder and usually get 15-20 mornings in a season.

Lawyer. I try and take vacation to hunt, but otherwise I'm a weekend warrior. Some years I get to hunt a lot. There's also been years when I only get to go a few times if at all. It totally depends on what's happening at the office.

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
don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

I'm a power plant operator. Working swing shift and using the majority of my vacation time on turkey season as well as hunting when I get off night shift I'd say I usually hunt close to 30 mornings a year

I'm in Pulp and Paper. Manage an engineering group.

Years ago, I hunted 35-40 days a spring.

Now I hunt 15-20. Honestly, 15-20 days is plenty of time for limits in the states I hunt.

25 years in the Health Care arena as a Nursing home Administrator. I will decide what size catheter you'll get:) Probably 2-3 days is usually enough to drop one. Have a couple trips this year, so maybe 15 days this year. Good luck to all.
