How many days in the field??
« on: August 27, 2008, 07:21:37 PM »
  I was just wondering how many days you dedicated waterfowlers spend in the field in an average season?? I think the season is about 107 days or about 15 weeks. I usually try to get out 15-20 times.

Last season spent every day out excepted for sundays. Gotta spend sometime with the wife. Looking to do the same this year except going to try for everyday of the season.

Alot more back in the college days. Hunted Skagit and Ferndale areas Fri-Mon every week and the occassional mid week hunt.

Now days with work and life. Probably around 15-30 times. I want try to get in more days this year. I have a chocolate lab pup, its gonna be his first season.

Its kinda sad to say but after the long work week sometimes its hard to drag my arse out of bed early enough to drive up north and fight the crowds. I live in woodinvile and sometimes go down into the valley(duvall, fallcity, monroe) but have not had much luck there. I have some friends who have a blind inbetween snohomish and everett and occasionally go out there.

So if things work out this year..i hope to hunt min 30 days!

3 days a week and all holidays. But I'm close enough to my camp to call it a day early then head back out in the afternoon.
 Last year was the first time I've had a problem Big 4 door dodge with 5 or 6 people they were from the wet side and wasn't going to let an old man get in their way after driving that far. Hell I picked up and left, only thing I could have done was shot the sob's and that would have wrecked my day. I could hear all the guns firing.I like to know if I hit the duck or missed it.

I spent most of my money on beer and women.
The rest I just wasted.

  don't see how I had time to work with so much to do
