I mean, we know he wasn't going on a mission because in Round One Ruby mentions Taiyang is only now off to start going on missions again.

I believe the solution is far more simple, this is the first time Ruby has been to Summers grave since Taiyang started, which was when he sent her Zwei... missions requiring his expertise aren't likely to take more than a few days, he may have even been another teams "experienced hunter" on a different team's field trip, or taken the place of others in the field.

Qrow on the other hand... appears to be actively monitoring subjects, which he told Ozpin are there, at Beacon, bringing his field position there.
