As far as actual jobs which would allow you to take the kind of hunting trips you are talking about:

Don't be a teacher if you are serious about big game hunting. Don't get me wrong, I think education is a great career and you get an amazing amount of vacation time: 3 months in the summer!!! The problem is that that your vacation time ends rightwhen hunting season begins. School starts up right about the same time as archery season and you won't get a break until after rifle season is over. Good career, but not for big game hunters.

Maybe look for a job that will allow you to work at your own pace or set your own hours. Mortgage loan officers, stock brokersand realters, for example, work solely on commission. If they close a lot of deals, they get paid well. If they don't, then they don't get paid. The important thing is that in these type of careers you are responsible for yourself. This means that you can take a few weeks off during hunting season and no one will care as long as you are bringing in plenty of business the rest of the time you are there.

Also maybe consider firefighting. It's a very honorable profession thatgenerally pays pretty well. It's also a career where you get plenty of comp. time. I have buddies in the fire service who work about ten 24-hour shifts a month and the rest of the month is theirs, in addition to the two weeks of vacation time they get. Plus this career will force you to be in good shape- which is very important for chasing elk around the mountains.

There are plenty of good jobs that will give you the flexibility to take big hunting trips. These are just a few that pop up in my mind. Hopefully this helps a bit.
