    I come into work monday morning. Go into our general office meeting and find out that we are placed on overtime for 90 days. For the next 90 days Ill be working from 7am - 7pm Monday - Sunday to help cleanup the mess Hurricane Sandy left behind. This was one of my best years for big bucks. I have 1 buck in the 190s on camera along with 2-3 others pushing close to 160s along with 10 other bucks around 140s. Neighbor found a 180s class 13 pointer with many stickers dead from EHD last weekend in the open pasture. Buck must of been dead atleast a month now... Corperate is still discussing if they are going to honor my scheduled week vacation time from Nov 17-26. Doesn't sound like they will honor it since Hunting isn't a financial responsability... It is to me!

    That sucks to hear that but if you miss this year at least they will be bigger next year and you'll have some green in your pocket too.

    Don't know what you do but it sounds like a lot of people need you. Some things do take priority over others but I bet you'll find a little time off... 12 hour shifts for 90 days without a break may be a bit too much to expect. It will work out.

    The bucks will be that much bigger next year also and you'll have some extra cash.
    Thanks for helping out with the clean up.

    Sandy screwed a lot of things up for a lot of people. Hopefully you will get your vacation but if you don't there's nothing you can do about it.
