-- how often do you hunt? (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=928412438)

how often do you hunt?

How often does everyone hunt? Not nearly enough as Id like is my answer, Im sure several others also. Just wondering how many nights a week yall hunt. Some folks can hunt close to home others have to drive, some have shift jobs, family obligations etc. Any different during kill season?

I work night shifts 10 to 6 so I only get to.hunt twice a week

Try to go 3-4 nights a week if I can.

The weather broke about 2 weeks ago from the negative temps and ive been in the woods 5-6 nights a week. Usually take sunday off. Get a night to just relax for me and the dogs.

I have a young man help me with my hounds and I am very grateful for that. Between the two of us our main dog is probably out 5 nights a week. I am lucky and have a nice place to take pups or some of the females we don't hunt on a regular basis in the morning. Good exercise in a controlled environment and a few coon to tree. Those dogs get out a couple times a week as we rotate them.

7 days a week.....................on here.

well, my job got busy from now till about october. So during the busy season i'm lucky if i get to go 2 nights a week. but during the off time i try and go 3-4 nights

2- 5 nights a week... but I'm hunting in my dreams every night!

I agree with ya Jake.Spending time with the kids is priceless.There only little once.Id say they will be good hunting partners someday.

3-4 nights a week for a couple hours a night. Would love to hunt more but the whole work thing gets in the way lol

Use to miss a few nights a year.
Those were only if it was snowing and blowing so hard you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Heck I was out there with pneumonia a few times.
Yeah.. I look back and think, Man I was stupid, but, it's a life.

Yep in the summer months. Might miss a night or 2 a month. Theirs a couple of us around here that live about a hour apart that hunt like that during the summer. Winter months it slows way down. Hunt about 2-3 hours a night. Right now the whole place is under water and its hard to find a place to hunt.

up until about 4 years ago I didn't think they made a bad night to go hunting. However, I got back into coaching and that takes up a lot of my time. Also, have two kids and stay home a lot more. However, if I like the young dog that I'm hunting it is amazing how much I will get out and go hunting!!!! Ha ha ha ha!!!

Hunt 2 nights a month
