Those hunting shows make it look easy but they shoot footage for many long days to compile 5-10 minutes of useable film. I have a young cousin who has hunted on camera and hates it. Delivering lines over and over until you get it right sucks, he says. When you see the outtakes it looks like they're having fun too, but at some point it gets tiresome and it has to be done right. Plus waiting for the cameraman to give me the ok to fire would not work for me. Passing on a huge buck cause the camera guy wasn't ready, and hoping you see him again would suck!
Going into game or park management could be ok, or working where they raise trout looks good to me, cause it would save me driving to the trout stream before and after work. I have talked to a lot of guys in Missouri's trout parks, from the guys who maintain the campgrounds to the guys who raise the fish, mow the lawn, and the park cop. And they all like their jobs.
