Time spent hunting deer

[selinoid44]

Just curious how much time do you spend hunting deer.
Do you hunt only early archery?
Do you hunt only firearms season?
Do you hunt only muzzle loader?
Do you hunt late archery?
Do you hunt all of the above?

When you go out do you:
Hunt from dark to dark?
Hunt from dark to 9 am?
Do you hunt morning till 11 then go get a sandwich and come back at 2 and stay till dark?
Do you ONLY hunt weekends or are you a everyday I'm going some where kind of person?

I hunt weekends and as many nights a week during early archery as I can. The last week of early archery and the first week of firearms I take vacation and hang in the tree or sit in the ground blind morning till lunch and from 2 till dark everyday for two weeks solid if I need to. Of course I have to check a deer in sometimes and that may take a couple of hours of my time. Other then that, during that time, I'm in the woods.
I always said you can't see or kill deer if your not out there hunting. Increase your odds by going hunting.

Early archery 3 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening.
I hunt through the week and the weekends.
All day hunts on opening weekend of gun.
A lot depends upon weather, wind direction etc.
I try to spend as much time in the woods in Nov. that I can.
Newport tomorrow and Sunday. All day hunts there.
Late bow I usually only hunt evenings close to food.
I have hunted like this for the past 30 years or so.

I shave spent about 12 hours out so far but no deer. I did get to do some elk hunting earlier this year and I now appreciate the kind of hunting we do here as it requires a whole lot less work.
