    Work.

    While I love my job and have flexibility with time off, etc.......at least half my income is commission. If I'm not working, I'm not making $$$. Since I'm on a monthly quota I can usually get time beginning of November, but I always miss that end of Oct timeframe and I hate it.

    Right now it's health. I'm on O2 24/7 and can't do any walking. I have no turkey hunting this year. The season opened Wednesday.

    School definitely doops on my hunting, being in WV isnt exactly prime when youre a waterfowl hunter. However, I cant complain because i hunted over 60 days last year; which is way more than most people get out.

    I can't complain too much. I work 3.5 days per week during hunting season and usually take off 2 weeks from the last few days of October into the first week and a half of November.

    For me it's my family. I know i am blessed for the life i live, and for a beautiful wife and son, but DAMM!!! I think if i spent less time on the forums during the offseason and doing things with her more i might get a bit more leeway in the fall. she is very understanding though, and again i know i'm very fortunate for the opportunities i have.

    For me its a few things... work, work, and more work... next thing is hiking out to my stand and you finally get all situated for hunting and then it finally hits me and I realize I have no toilet paper...

    Work was the biggest hold up last year during the early season. That and not having a hunting partner. This year I've remedied that by getting my brother in law into bowhunting and getting a late tag, which means with the remainder of my vacation, I'll have over half my season in the field.

    How about getting deployed just before bow season opens and not getting back until after the next season ended?
