How many days do you hunt?

[257 Wby Mag]

I am sort of like Polarbear, but wiht kids and work and the places I hunt are gettin gmore expensive......

+1 Doug. The older the kids get, the less time I have seems like. get to do more outta state stuff now though. Between horse lessons,volleyball, football, and wrestling practice, my harvest season is getting widdled down pretty good. I'll be 39 when my daughter is 18, "the youngest", so I'll be able to hit the woods more frequently while being reasonably young. Wouldn't change a thing though....

hmmm never thought bout that, i'd say 4-5 for bear, 10 for elk, 12 for deer, 2-3 yote trips, then the hounds i'd say this year will be 7-8 hard to say for hounds could be alot more, add on 3-4 days for when im tagging along with other guys with differnt tags, so around 40 days of hunting. theres always a few scouting trips that go on when i can shoot stuff and what not but im not really hunting

I've spent about 10 days in the woods this year hunting archery elk in Idaho.  Heading to Alberta this weekend for Moose for 10 days.  Then will return and hunt deer rifle in Idaho probably between 5-10 days. in mid to late November.  Will get over to Montana in early November to help Mom and Dad get their elk.  They don't need help with the finding or the killing, just getting it back to the truck.   Hopefully will get out for some birds in their sometime as well.  Probably end up with a total of 35-40 days this year I guess.  Thats probably about average for me the last 7-10 years.

About thirty days shed hunting, twenty days deer hunting, ten days elk hunting, ten days bird hunting, twenty days fishing. So between 80 and 100 days in the field. That will probably change with the first child on the way come January.

Wow, I was thinking that 30 days was alot.But now that I think about it........7 days elk, 9 days in Utah for deer, 7 days here for deer, 5 days for turkeys, about 5 trips to chase ducks and geese. Dam, I need more vacation.................

Oh, 10-15 modern deer season

Easily 60+ if you include big game, small game, predators, and mushrooms.
