There are some benefis to being a Pro-Staffer beyond the perks. Those would be the relationships you make with others who are passionate about the sport. I have several aquaintances that own bows and talk about loving the sport and how much they can't wait to go.... then during the season they hunt about 20 hours worth. I know they had way more time than that to get into a stand but, the weather was too cold or too rainy, wind was wrong I only hung one stand this year and on and on. I think they enjoy the challenge of bowhunting but the love just isn' there. I absolutely love the challenge, the animals, the solitude and the mental andphysical investments I make especially when it pays off with a trophy buck.

I am willing to bet that the majority of the industry hunters at least started offfeeling the sameway and remain true to those original feelings like I have.They probably enjoy being around others who share the samedeep roots of love for the sport.

The originalpost said: How to become a Pro-Staffer? Bottom line is you have to love the sport and be willing to do what it takes to maintain that love. Iknow the pro guys don'talways get rich and always miss their families.Just like anything else, without the love being strong you won't survive the hard times and conditions.
