What's your secret for getting off work to hunt?

[dkwellman]

The dog ate my homework. I'll be back later.

 

[Brathany]

I just say I'm going hunting, and if they don't like it, I'll hunt them. Been working great!

 

[Josh06]

Work and hunt at the same time. Since most of my hunting is from a blind, if I need to work I'll bring my laptop and use my cell phone as a hotspot. Had several meetings in the blind before.

 

[Gary in MD]

Retire as early as possible.
They don't appreciate you anyway!

I've called in with scurvy before.

Otherwise when I call in, I don't give a reason.
When plant manager wanted to know why I was off, I told him it didn't matter. He just had to know that I wasn't gonna be there.

I schedule my November hunting trim in Jan. It's not a request. It's more of an information update.

 

[Frank in the Laurels]

..do something called "retire".... works as an excuse daily for me. Workins' way way overrated.

I use to own my a business and always explained ahead of time that I would be absent for hunting. Now I'm retired and can do whatever, whenever within reason.

Well then come to central Mt and shoot cow elk with me!!

 

[Ol' Red]

I own a business that's open five days a week in a fairly small town. Getting away during the week is almost impossible, but I fill my deer and antelope tags on weekends. I am looking forward to retiring so I can spend a LOT more time in the mountains. I hope to catch up with @Will.284 so we can catch up on being stationed in the same area of Germany, and kill something while doing it.

 

[Will.284]

Yea ha !! Let's go hunting!!

I used to worry about this. Now I say F$&k it and call in. But I don't abuse it and close to maxed out on PTO.

So you do worry about it and don't just say F$&K it... because that would be abusing it
