RE: If given the chance......would you?
Absolutely.
There is no question in my mind that it would feel like a job. You would be under the same pressures with the same deadlines as any other job. Shoot an animal on film or you miss a paycheck.
Would this take the fun out of it for me? Heck no.
I would get to travel the country, possibly the world, doing something I absolutely love to do.
Currently I'm pursuing a part-time career as an outdoor writer/photographer. Not quite the same as what the big guys on TV do, but still something I'm passionate about pursuing. Perhaps somewhere down the line I'll be able to make a video, then another, and then possibly make a business out of it. Who knows?
But yes, I would jump at the chance to hunt professionally.
