Ooops!  You forgot the old adage:  Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission. 

The afternoon hunt would be a great way to start.  The days are way too long at that time of year to hunt all day anyway.  I love evening hunts that time of year.  No rush to get out there.

Do you hunt close to home/school?  I would do the evening hunts and then get after it on the weekend if you can hunt close.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

That's what we did when we were in school over in Pullman  :tup: the deer never moved until about 30mins before shooting time ended anyway.
