You two must take very long vacations or live across the street from where you hunt.
For me it is a three hour trip each way, plus my hunting season lasts about 4 days.
Companies I worked for over the years, either had no more than a week in a year for vacation or like the last company there were no vacations. Oh I could take a day or two off, which were unpaid and when I returned, I had a pile of work that had deadlines that I had to meet.
I usually only have a few weekends to hunt and do so within and hour or so from home. I don't have time to scout but I do know how to read sign and terrain.
True. The issue is where. My hunting partner has this one area he loves, but in recent years, the elk don't travel through his area. He knows every rock and bush. Unfortunately the elk have changed their route.
