I know that some people do feel it as a job.

In my case, last year, I spent more hours in the field than ever, and putting it all on film.Some might consider it a job, since it's being made into a video, but I feel it's very far from it. I'm doing something I love to do, spending time with my wife, working as a team to accomplish a goal...a goal to harvest a mature buck. To me, it's work, but it's not a job.
