How many days / season do you get in the field?
« on: October 02, 2013, 08:20:40 AM »
I realized this morning that I have been in the bush every day since opening day this year, today is day 39. This year between Elk, Bears, Moose, Whitetails and a Cougar hunt I will probably be around 95 or so. How many days / year do the rest of you guys get in on average?

I am "semi retired" so I can spend as much time as I want within reason (I am happily married and want to keep it that way).

I managed to get the start up date on a contract changed so I don't have to start till Dec. first.

I usually get out between 15-25 days a year.  And may get another 10 evenings after work as well.  The last couple years has been devoted to getting new hunters out more than my own personal hunting.

No were near enough maybe 10 days or so.  I am hoping to change that up next year.
