I get a total of 24 vacation days a year. 4 to 5 days of it are used for our summer shutdown. I use 15 days during bow season. When we did our vacation rounds this year I lucked up and got the first 3 weeks of November. I wasn't able to get the 3 days we have to work the week of Thanksgiving though. I'm off from Dec. 24 through Jan. 2 also, that's all paid holiday for us.

Since I've pretty well given up competitive archery, I'm not burning vacation days traveling to or preparing for tournaments anymore.

I'm just glad I don't have to work Christmas this year. I'll probably hang over a few hours for some folks with kids, though.

It depends on how my season starts. I like to have at least 3-5 does on the ground before Christmas. I'm real picky about the antlered ones though. I I shoot one early in the season, my next one will be larger than the 1st. The same applies for the third one too. I'l shoot an old mature buck before I shoot a young in. They're harder to hunt.

Used to take about 3 weeks, not all at once until I started turkey hunting and now I'm just a casual weekend warrior for the deer, just not as exiting as turkey hunting IMO, but I sure used to get after them

140 hours vacation plus I work rotating shifts. My wife says I hunt to much! Read last years archery forum that's when my phone would work. Been doing the same thing every year since 1995. One summer vacation a year the rest is hunting vacation. She knew it before we got married.

I'd rather work.

30 - 35 days every year.

None

I work 12s so I already have 6-8 days off in a row. Normally I work 2 extra a week before Christmas then take off my last 2 days of every pattern during January. Only problem is were short staffed so pto is being denied-been trying to go catch a few fish. Hopefully by hunting season we will be staffed again and I can burn some of the 300 or so hours I have saved up.

I have over 120 days I can take at my discretion and I plan on using these days to receive another year of retirement. I never take any time from work to hunt. I have always been fortunate enough to "get it done" on my off days and after school. I am fortunate I get to hunt close to the house so I have no travel time involved either.

I have 186 hrsand I work 7on7off so it gives me a total of 5 week off straight. I will take most of January and the beginning of feb and stay at camp.

I take the week after Christmas to hunt with the kids. Then the last 2 weeks of the season. Every other weekend in between.

Not much, hogs get all of mine.

i work 1-2 days / week during deer season. Except opening week of bow season, muzzleloader and rifle season and two weeks during peak of the rut when i use my leave

When I retire, I will live at deer camp.

I usually take the last two weeks of the season off.

I take 2 days off every 3 years when we get drawn for LBL to deer hunt and that is it. I usually take somewhere around 15-20 days during turkey season though.

I work 12 days on and 2 days off. This past season I took off days 11 and 12 of my stretch both times in January to get a 4 day weekend. That's all I was able to take off last season bc of work. Hunted almost all of the every-other-weekends I had off though.

10-12 days or so....

My step dad hates when deer season comes..Cause I'll take about 4 vacations
