I take maybe a day off to set traps then check them for about a month and a half in wee hours of night and still go to work regular hours. Weekends are my treat to go in day time. I use my vacation time with my family. I used to take time off to trap many years ago before I had a family, but even then I often would waste it staring out the window at some god awful snowstorm while my vacation was spent doing stuff around the house instead. Go after deer season would be my recommendation, fur will be better, and you will have to roll the dice on weather. I'd rather catch quality over early goods and I think in today's for market you will need to do that anyway. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Last year I took all of November off (paid). This year, I'm down to 3 paid days left. I took a week off when my daughter was born in June, another week when my wife had gallbladder surgery, a week to go on a family vacation, two days to go to the NTA convention and a few days here and there to extend some weekends. I'm lucky, in that I get about 6 weeks off paid vacation per year. I say, do what YOU want. I personally like to have multiple full days in a row to hit it hard
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.
