I was in the same boat almost 2 years ago this coming Nov. Not to sound negative but if you can sit in a stand after losing a job and it nor bother you more power to you. I couldn't even get out of bed some days. I spent the gun opener dwelling on the "what ifs" while deer after deer walked by my stand. My advice is to find something for work now. Don't be like my couple of friends who love to hunt and stayed on unemployment for over 2 years because anything they could find wouldn't pay what uneployment bennies were paying. Keep your head up and look to brach out in your current industry. Do you know how to repair the parts of car washing machines?
