Lets take this poll, it should be interesting.  Personally I am in the 11 or more slot. I hunt as much as I can get out,but not everyday.
 How about you?

I wish I was everyday.  However it would probably lead to alimony payments. ;D

Let's see, special goose zone starts Sept 1.  Then the split goose seasons and split ducks.  Canadas into January.  Better not even mention a muzzle loader deer and two bow tags filled this year.  Man I love my wife -  she has put up with me for 33 years, but I don't know how.  Jim

We have a 107 day season and I usually get in on about 45 to 50 of them......

I turkey hunted today with a guy that said he has some friends that hunt every day of duck season.  He said last year that group shot over 1,000 ducks.   :o

You know, as much as I say that would be great, I really think that would take the fun out of hunting.  Part of hunting is also the anticipation of going and planning, which in this case would be nonexistent.

specklebelly, you're right. I also think it would take alot of the fun and even camaraderie out of it. I sometimes feel that it becomes a second job, in that you spend alot of time in preparation of decoys,gear,blinds...etc. Not to mention getting out everyday and dealing with the elements.
 Don't get me wrong here,but I think a few days off from hunting has a rebuilding effect on oneself, simply a chance to relax and enjoy the other sights and sounds of nature.   :)

Well voting closed yesterday. It's nice to see that most of us go hunting as much as we can.
 64.3%  for 11 or more days.
 Personally I can't wait for our early goose season to open September 1st.     ;D
