Default RE: Anyone guide out west?

Zrabfan,
I did a whole lotta searching on the internet, on state job sites, coolworks.com, and ranch job sites. But, in the end I just did a search with the keywords "hunting ranch employment" and that is where I found the place I'm working now. I was a self-employed carpenter in WI before I moved out here, and part-time ever since I've been here. I'll tell you a couple things I've learned: Workers are in very short supply here. Unlike the rest of the country the economy is red hot. Even finding housing is a problem. Gas, oil, railroad, coal mining, and wind farming are stealing workers from the rest of the industries. Any contractor of any kind is in short supply. If you're a hard worker, honest and reliable, I'm sure you'd find someone willing to let you off for a month or two in the fall to guide for doing them a good job the rest of the year. Hunting is part of the fiber of most everyone out here, they understand and they need bodies. And to answer your last question, not yet.
