Career in hunting industry

[Jwall]

Are any of you all like me and think man I sure wish I could get a career doing what I enjoy? I have two college degrees and neither are getting me any closer to getting paid to hunt and fish. I visit companies from time to time looking for positions but never seem to come up with anything. Let me know if you all feel like me.

I guided inshore fishing years ago part time and could go back to it full time whenever I want, but there are many many days when I think - I'm sure glad I'm not a guide. Maybe, after I retire I might run a trip or two a week. Good luck in your pursuits!

No. I prefer for my hunting to be for recreation. If I had it as a job it would loose it's apeal. That and I deal with childish behavior all week. Don't want to deal with it in the woods.

Yeah I guess that makes sense. I hear ya with childish behavior I am in education and I believe the parents and adults are as bad as the kids most times.

I was a duck/deer guide for a few years and I got to where I hated to get out of bed in the mornings . It looks to be all fun and hunting,but its not like hunting with your buddies, its doing everything in your power to make sure your clients get what they paid for.

I believe it would be more fun to be a sales rep or other employee for a manufacturer that provides useful products and services to outdoorsmen than being an outfitter or a guide.  It would be even better to be paid well and have a retirement plan and good insurance.

Use your education and personal knowledge of the outdoors to get in with someone like that.
