started a new job last year and wont have any vacation days for turkeys season this year. all I will have is weekends and evenings after work. so discouraging. anyone else in the same boat or just get the weekends? just be nice to know that I'm not alone in this catastrophe. I'm used to having vacation days for turkey season. how do u deal with it if you are in the same boat?

[ericjames]

True. Only good thing is I don't have to clock in until 745 and get off around 415

[gobblinfever]

How bad do you want to go. Call in sick and take it unpaid..Wouldn't be lying you have a sickness    .or depending on how they are tell them your going turkey hunting and take it unpaid...

I'm in the same boat, no vacation till middle of May and we can't hunt after 1:00 in Mo.

Me basically for all hunting seasons for 36 years. Sure I get a 3 day hunt in here and there, but most are weekend affairs. Job I've been at for the last 10 years is pretty much 6 days a week, so I do a bunch of Sunday hunts. Sure beats yard work though.

Well I'm trying not to do that to much since my wife is due end of may.

Congrats on going to be a father. Hunting always comes second to family you have my utmost respect..when you do hunt just make it count by putting your time in if you can. I've also had some really good short hunts and years where business has had to come before pleasure. That's one good thing about O.G. you have the world of turkey hunting at your fingertips when you can't go...

Pretty much the only time I get to hunt is on the weekends. I have lots of vacation time, but my schedule is pretty packed.

I do a lot of my hunting on the weekends. Plus having two boys in baseball and a daughter on a travel volleyball teamtakes a good chunk of that as well. It can still be done. Enjoy the time with your children. You only get so much time with them. I grew up not having a father and am doing my best to make sure they get the best of me. I am not going to be one of those dads sitting back wondering where time went. Congrats on the child.

Same boat here. But the past few years end up getting my tags filled in the two days.

I hope it rains during the week and you get nice weather on weekends.  Good luck & enjoy every hunt you get.
