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.

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.
