Do any of those positions bring in benefits besides the enjoyment you get out of it, a free call or bow??? Since your pushing their product do you reap any of the profits, as in money??? Rob mentioned that he spends his own money to do this?? Do they send you on all expense paid hunts or something? I am curious as to how that works out.
I've gotten free hunts, free products of other sources that come to us as a company. At one time I was approached about investing and becoming a partner. I had/have to many iron in the fires at this time to do that. I am content on rep'n the product and being part of the team. Yes, I do spend my own money ie..via gas to local shows. Depending on travel expenses, they pic up some but not others. It's all written out in the contract.

The hunt I went on to take two KS gobblers with my bow was free to me other than the license and transportation to and from. That hunt alone was payment in full for my services to the company over all these years not to mention the other perks.

It's still a demanding position regardless and one that is not taken lightly. It's a great company, great group of hunters and great group of friends at River Valley Game Calls. It's in it's progression but coming on strong. If you wish to watch vol IV of the Head Hunter series and those two kills on film in KS plus more...watch for it on http://www.rivervalleygamecalls.com It should be due out late fall or early spring.
