I have to go supervise some day hunters, so even if I'm not working by then I will be out in the fields keeping tabs on folks.

Need a 3rd option of hunting in the morning and working the rest of the day or vice versa. I will likely hunt early with a buddy then go to work. Then take my boys out that evening and let them hunt exclusively and just take pictures and assist with anything that needs assistan!!

I can't remember a year I missed the 1st. I'll probably be in Albany eating lunch by 1 o'clock before heading out about 4.

Always took off the 1st week of September, October and November.
