On average, how many days do you get to spend turkey hunting each spring? Days spent taking others counts too.
For me it's usually close to 40 sunrises in a few states. Not nearly enough when it's over.

I hunt just about everyday. Being a police officer and working midnights I put my leave in months early to leave every morning at 4am. Only days I can't is on my scheduled court dates which thankfully is only 2 days out of the whole season. I participate in the Wounded Warrior hunts every year at Quantico Marine Corps Base and usually take my dad and friends out whenever they want to go. I also add in a few days a year in Georgia and North Carolina.

I usually take 2 weeks off each spring. Adding in Saturdays gives me about 18 days of hunting

Everyday that I don't have to take my girls to school (mom works nights but changes her schedule for a month to help out. She is a great woman....) So I would guess about 30 days (hunting NY and PA).

All I can but it has depended on how fast I filled my local one bird limit. That's often opening day. I usually do one or two other states so I get 8-10 days extra that way.
Now that the grandsons are hunting it should expand my days afield.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Easy answer is as many as I can or it takes to fill my tags and maybe take other people.
Last year I hunted 7 days. I killed three and called in another for a friend.
A couple years ago I hunted over 30 days in 3 states and saw 10 or so go down.

Should be in the woods at least 15 days, but hopefully 20 or so.

As many as I can; I don't count, but we have a 6 week season, so Sat & Sun's makes 12 hunts, in the least.
