What is it that you guys do for a living that allows you to hunt so much? Its all I can do to get a week off during hunting season. I need to find a job like yall's!

Duckbum I feel ya pain...being the boss sometimes sucks! However you don't have to ask for time off when the ducks are here.
A good education and 20+ years of hard work and ass kiss/kicking will let you enjoy hunting season.

I am sort of in the same boat as dukbum. I save up all my vacation and also hunt quite a few mornings or afternoons, coming in late or leaving the office early. Still don't get into the field as much as I would like. The area that I hurt in is finding time to scout as much as I would really like to do! :( Most of the public land in my area is closed 4 days a week and you have to be out by 3 pm on the days it is open. :(

Oh, I'm not telling what I do, it a SECRET.
