I am a "Professional Hunter" I guess. I own a lodge and run bowhunts for others...also I get "paid" to film my hunts and I am traveling to 2 other countries this year and several states to film hunts for a TV show.


"Paid" = almost nothing. It costs me way more to hunt than I actually get paid. In fact if I wasn't a sucsessful business owner I couldn't do any of it.

"Professional Hunters" are people who have LOTS of spare time and a good income or own thier own businesses (like me) and can afford to make thier hobby a business, thus creating alot of tax benifits but not much income...certinaly not enough to live on.

Now if you look at like people such as Bill Jordan or Will Primos, those guys make great money in hunting but they are businessmen first and get to enjoy hunting second.

That my advice, good luck
