    Ok guys, sound off. When are you planning time off for the season this year. I'm thinking the first two weeks of November for me.

    Blessings..........Pastorjim

    No specific time off. I plan on taking a few Friday afternoons and then opening day of gun season if archery doesn't pan out. My job offers amazing flexibility. So if I am seeing some good things, all I have to do is make a phone call and can have it off.

    Usually take a couple of days at the start of firearms season so I can spend time with the kids that make it home to hunt . I have way to much time to hunt as it is , if I took extra time during archery season I'd burn out some stands .

    I have every Friday off but plan to take a couple Thursdays for 3 days in Pa or 4 days in Ohio. I also "might" take a whole week around Halloween.

    I am taking off November 3-10 and am hoping to score my buck then or hopefully before and try to fill freezer with a doe during that time.
