Read Drops last sentence. Similar situation: I love to ski. For 10+ straight years I skied at least 58 days a year and my best year was 96 days. While this was going on some of my buddies thought it would be a good idea to move to our mountain and live and work there. They figured they could ski more if they lived there.WRONG! While I was getting freshies or ripping sweet zipper lines, they were either sleeping from working trhe bar late or had to be at work by 10am to open up. Get a job with flexibility and you'll be all set. Once it turns into work, its work.

And keep in mind, even with all of those "sponsors" Mark Drury's Iowafarm is for sale !!!
Also, he has been, lets say this nicely, removed? from some of the clubs that he was a member of, for none payment.
So, even these guys, whom own succesful businesses and have sponsors with heavy names, can bite off more than they can chew.
If you want to get in teh industry because yo want to hunt more, Id say get a job OUTSIDE the industry that allows you to take time. Most of the hunting industry is at its busiest DURING THE SEASON.
