I usually keep no less than thirty days on the books. Typically I don't go below forty. I try to sneak in days on the off holiday and off season times. But then again, not many where I work are bow hunters and taking time off in September when most folks are just getting done with all the summer time leave. Sorry to say but in these times it is probably best to just suck it up and vent about on these kinds of boards. Good luck.
