Right now about one or two weeks, but when I retire in March 2016 I hope it all changes. My dream is to hunt like Doc all spring, my past wife that died from cancer understood my passion for that dream. I just hope I pick another good one, got married this spring, just hopping my dream is still a reality.

Everyday that I am not working. I am fortunate enough to be able to self schedule, so I group my working days together that way I will have more time off.

Past few years average around 5. This year? I know opening weekend is out and the last weekend is out, and I'll be out of town on business off and on during the weekdays so who knows? Love to turkey hunt but the short season and my schedule don't jive.

Here in MN and neighboring states we have to pick a 5 day season.  With work and kid's activities I can rarely take advantage of the full season.  However, I try to overlap MN and WI so I can get a good 5-6 days between the two.  I volunteer for youth mentor hunts so that gets me another 1.5 days.  Every other year (negotiated deal with my wife) I throw in another state so that adds another 3-4 days.

Also, when I hunt I'm in the field all day every day from before sunup until 5-7pm, regardless of weather.  On nice days it's about all the great and interesting experiences, many of which have nothing to do with dropping a bird.  On ugly days, it's become a personal challenge and test of fortitude, especially on the wet, cold, snowy ones.  Some day I'm going to kill a turkey on a day with single digit temps, 35mph winds, and horizontal snow.  When I do, I will declare myself the winner over nature!  :goofball:

Every blue bird morning and a few foggy or cloudy ones. Very rarely a rainy morning, I used to ambush them in the rain but have nothing for it anymore.
