How many days afield?

[Oak]

So how many days did you spend hunting last year?

I spent a grand total of five. Two days deer hunting and three days elk hunting.
Results: two elk, one deer

Unfortunately, school has to be a priority over hunting right now.

I spent a total of about 10 this year. That was before my car wreck! Does driving count? I spent 6 days going to/from AZ

I normally get around 30-40 days though!

 

[Elkhunter]

A grand total of 28 days last year.

 

[elkgetter]

I was able to get 25 days in this year.

 

[tmsander]

12 days for me, including one day goose hunting that was a total bust.

 

[ELKCHSR]

6 weeks!!!

 

[Ithaca 37]

Two to three days a week from Sept. 1 'til Jan. 31 bird hunting except when I'm deer hunting every day for a week. Then usually about six or seven days turkey hunting and a few days ground squirrel shooting. Then about a day a week the rest of the year exercising the dog on wild birds. Then some time fishing and camping and scouting around. Generally about a hundred days a year. 50 or 60 of them hunting.

That's not very good! I gotta quit working so much!

This year I am thinking I spent a total of around 20-25 days in the field.Sure wish it was more.

 

[schmalts]

Probably about 17 days. Too bad i'm married and have a job or it would be more like 60

 

[Nut]

I think it was around 30 to 40 days for me last year. It could be more

But look at what it entailed.

The HuntTalk Texas Exotic hunt and the
HuntTalk Hillbilly Fest.

[pipedreams]

i managed about 18 days, but like most my damn job really cuts into my hunting time!

 

[BlackTimber]

about 30 days

I hope to get alot more this year.

 

[Lostagain]

I try to spend a few hours everyday out just looking. Actual day dedicated to elk hunting is 1 per year.

 

[Moosie]

I spent 59 days this year... Cpunting Mornin's that I slipped out hunting for duck for jsut a few hours before the days work or just a 1/2 of a day.. this also counts day Traveled, like days to Montana and stuff... It was the most I've ever spent I'm sure in the field... this year will be close. I'm trying to beat it by at least one day.. BUT, lots of factors !!!

My 2002 year tallies to about 74 days of hunting. Some of it was scouting, but I got 1 javelina and 3 catalina goats while doing that, because we have year round hunting and I carry my gun. I made three trips to New Mexico and I had a friend from Co and a friend from NM come here, I counted that although it was more their hunting, but I hunted other things while they were here and got some stuff too.

I'm here almost everyday, talking hunting stuff.
