My wife doesn't hunt but is supportive of my passion. My marriage and hunting are both very important to me.

Between work, a kinda major health problem, and no real hunting partner.
I managed to spend half a day with someone I really like hanging out with so it wasn't a bad season.
If I do the math 6 hours plus another 4 hours with a gal I took out. Then road hunting 45 minutes or so on the way to work and then again home 6 days. Worst idea ever do not drive to work opening day when you are unable to call in sick.
Guess I passed on a buck. What's wrong with me.

General year 15-16..
Permit year add 5-7 days...
Out of state year add 7-10 days.
I fish way more than I hunt so the hunting doesn't bother the boss so much.

Somewhere between 30 and 35 I'd guess. I'm retired but take a lot of weekends off to hang with the kids who are still in elementary school. I'd hunt every weekday if my back didn't hurt so bad. I've gotta rest it every few days.

9 or 10 between high hunt and modern.
If I'm lucky I'll do a long weekend or so for turkey.
I didn't start hunting until after we got married but I was a commercial fisherman and spent a lot of time away from home.
