Default RE: Would you give up your job to hunt full time?

I actuallyhave already been down thatroad. i was hired to be teh manager of a plantation in SC. Itonly lasted about 11 weeks. My particular experience involved not being able to tolerate some very disreputable practices. It had nothing to do with hunting itself. Also, it is a bit overrated. Hunting loses some of its flair when it becomes the daily grind--and it cuts very deeply into your personaltime to actuallyhunt. The plantation I worked for overbooked, made promises of 'trophies' when these did not exist. The owner attempted to remedy this by having a pen where he brought in, illegally, bucsk from another state. He would release one occasionally so it could be shot to create the perception that these were 'natives' and a realistic sampling of the herd , and what could be takenif one would hunt' hard enough'.This is just one example and why I couldn't , in good conscience,stay on. I went back into the landscape business and have remained there with no regrets.
