I'm a Pastor. Typically, 3-4 mornings per week. But it depends some years more and some can be much, much less.

Tractor trailer mechanic. Trailer side of things. 
Plan on getting 30-40 days this spring.

Senior Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) plant operator for Southern Company Gas

I work shift work and have a lot of time off during the week so I hunt mornings and evenings depending on which shift I am working.

Usually take a week off and with my normal off time, that is a 12 day span sometime during the season. This year it will be the first 12 days of the GA season.

Funeral director/embalmer/mortician/undertaker. Whichever trade name you wanna call it.

I now manage a funeral home with a high call volume of over 400 families a year. Luckily I have 5 weeks vacation and I use 2-3 weeks of those turkey hunting.

I'll have about 20 plus days of turkey hunting in most years. Of course my phone will be blowing up in the woods. I travel a lot hunting so I can get away from the high daily stress.

I'm about to go to school for it, I placed in the top two out of 17 in a series of math and mechanical aptitude tests at my company and they're sending me to school. In 19 months I'll come out the other side an industrial electrician.

Same here! So the job never really ends

I'll get anywhere from 5-10 hunts in depending.

Georgia's season is short, especially if you can only hunt public land (no turkeys on my private piece where I deer hunt)... and I never really know what my week is going to look like.

eggshell

Retired from 31 years with ODNR from a tech to a fish Hatchery Superintendent (the last 22 years of my career). I was blessed to live my dream, but like all things if you do something long enough it becomes a job. It was a job I loved but rearing fish is a high stress job. Any given day you could loose thousands of fish to a dozen different things. If you lost them the whole state suffered. I was proud to have made some big breakthroughs and serve my fellow sportsmen. While i was working turkey season came in our spawning seasons and the Hatchery was a 7 day operation with long hrs, but I could usually squeeze in a couple hrs in the morning before work and a few days off with vacation. Now I hunt everyday of season I have a tag or someone else to go. I hunt two states from mid April to late may and then again in the fall.

Yes, there are not many fully free days, but most folks don't wanna see their pastor before about 10:00am.
South Carolina season is just over a month long. I also hunt public ground here, which is always a grand adventure.

ER doctor.  10-12 hunts depending on my schedule.  I switch between day and night shifts.
