I hate you, O My Brother...  :mad:   :knothead:  
Didn't even get to hunt a half day today, dang dog cut her foot yesterday evening so I came home early to let the vet suture it.

Enjoy, Kenny. Those three weeks are what it takes to really do it up right. One week to unwind, one week to truly hunt, last week to get your head adjusted to going back to work, and to the "civilized" world. I am truly happy that you can do this this year.

I used to get the whole month of Nov. off. I would take Halloween as a personal day and than for Nov. I only needed 17 days vaca. as I got Veterans day and than Thanksgiving plus that Friday. I used to shoot 7 or 8 deer a year when i did that. I now my time is cut in half i shoot about half that many deer. It was nice as the rut can be tricky and like last year I had the first two weeks of Nov. and they were not really going strong until opening day of gun, which is the start of the 3rd. week. I hope ya hit it on the button bud!! Shawn
