Time in the stand

[OakHillHunter]

How often do you hunt through the week?
I usually hunt Saturday and then multiple evenings through the week after work. I would say I average 2-3 sits per week but some of those may just be an hour depending on the time of the year.

 

[BSK]

I primarily hunt for three weeks in November (almost every day) and that's it for the season.

 

[deerhunter10]

I'm fortunate enough to be able to hunt practically whenever I want. I hunt most all of November and if not tagged out. I'll hunt however long it takes in December to try to fill my last tag
Usually hunt a couple days of a cold front end of October if we get one.

I had 21 different sits just on one deer last year. Killed him on the 21st sit.

It also is very important to have a great wife especially when you hunt as much as I do.

The wife part is the most important! Thankfully my wife came from a hunting family so she understands and even comes with me some.

Often

3 times a week at least and all weekend Sept-Jan

 

[knightrider]

From open to close atleast 4 tmes a week, i enjoy watching others get the same thrill i do. Never hunt the same property more than once a week though.

 

[bowhunterfanatic]

Not near as often as I'd like. If I get one hunt a week with no time constraints I'm thrilled. I probably average 2-3 sits a week but 1-2 of them are typically an hour or less.

I try to scout everyday starting in mid September, with a camera on my person, and continue through the third week of October. I only hunt during that timeframe if I have a buck that I can pattern off of cameras. If I happen to fall into some crazy good sign I'll hang and hunt it that same day and leave a camera on my exit to monitor the area. After the 3rd week of October I begin sitting funnels and will hunt those usually 4-5 days a week until I'm either tagged out or till the end of November. Regroup the first week of December and then hunt till January usually 2-3 days a week.

I usually don't hunt during the week days in the afternoons until it starts cooling down some or we get a cool snap like we've had this week. I hunted last Thursday and then yesterday. Will hunt either today or tomorrow in the afternoon. Weekends starting this weekend I'll be hunting morning and afternoons. It makes it nice to walk behind my house on afternoons after work or before church on Sunday mornings.

I've hunted a lot less so far this year then I did last year. Looking back at my spreadsheet I hunted 11 times in Sept last year vs 3 times this year. I'm the same for Oct so far this year as I was last year with going 3 times. But I will be at least every weekend until mid December at least.

 

[Ski]

I scout a lot more than I hunt, but can usually hunt anytime I want. Self employed/semi-retired so day of week doesn't matter. Unless I just really feel like hunting i don't hunt unless I've got a particular buck I'm trying to get on, and I only hunt him when I feel I have a realistic chance.

 

[30-06 type of guy]

At least 3 days a week. Saturday and Sunday mornings. Wednesday evenings and whatever evening we don't have football practice. If the weather is good I'll take a day during the week and today was one of those days. Just wish he'd of closed the deal

 

[UTGrad]

I try to sit 2-3 times per week throughout the season except prime rut I'll take days off.

Early season I'll sit evenings after work and a morning sit on weekends. When we get into colder weather, I prefer mornings cause it's cold and animals are moving.
