RE: What do you do?
 

Currently I am an environmental engineer at a consulting firm. I'm new there but once the season comes I get out of work by 330 and fridays I'll be out by noon. Plus a week during the rut.

Previous jobs I've held allowed for a lot of hunting time although they may have not been the best jobs in my field. This one seems to be a decent blend of good job but still allows me to hunt.

I'm a financial advisor who is registered in Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia (in case anyone here needs some help) ;).

RE: What do you do?
 

I'm a regional sales manager for a software company that develops a professional services automation product that is geared towards the IT service industry specifically. I am new there, been there for 2 months now but absolutely love it..........best job I have everhad by far. I really hope to build a career here and stay till I retire.

I only get 2 weeks vacation, but after December I am free to move anywhere I want in the country and work from home as long as I have high speed internet access and a phone. My hopes are to move into the sticks in either central NY or bradford county PA so I can live somewhere I can walk off the back porch and into a treestand.

I also work part time at a local archery shop, and am involved in a family owned organic grassfed beef/pork/lamb business.

RE: What do you do?
 

Surprised you wouldn't move to Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Illinois or someplace like that, Matt.

RE: What do you do?
 

I would absolutely love to. The thought has crossed my mind so many times. If I were to do it I would be in northwest Montana. The one BIG thing that prevents me from doing that for a few years to get it out of my system is my beautiful 2 year old sister. I just couldn't bring myself to miss out on her growing up.........

Central, NY or Bradford County, PA would allow me to finally get out of the suburbs and into the best hunting in the northeast, as well as be much closer to family.

Central NY or PA will have to do.

Firefighter/Parmedic for a city. work only 10-12 days/mo. My part time job is a town w/the State forest going thru it, so I off work & "in da woods" in 15min.Work there about 10days/mo, so hunt'n is good my friends.

RE: What do you do?
 

I've beenin education(health, weights,p.e.and sciences)and coaching (from H.S. Football and Baseballto Jr. Basketball)for 13 years. Also I own and operate a logging/land enhancement business in the summers. Phasing out of the logging and will be launching a new business in the near future.

I'm a regular ole farmer.

RE: What do you do?
 

Department of public welfare. The state is very generous when it comes to vacation time, holidays, etc..

RE: What do you do?
 

I'm a firefighter. The schedule leaves me plenty of time to hunt, which I need because the public land I hunt requires a lot of time to be successful.

RE: What do you do?
 

Good to see another pest control operator/owner on here. I am also the new, as of Jan. 1, '07, owner of my families pest control business. Been in business over 50 years and really do enjoy the self-employed aspect of it. I make a decent wage, but can't say I'll ever get rich at it. Creating my own schedule during the hunting season is the most rewarding aspect. The job pays well enough to be able to hunt out west, Colorado & Wyoming so far. It's great to see these high school kids on here.

RE: What do you do?
 

I own a hunting and fishing resort in Ontario, Canada. I spend 4 months working my arse off, 4 months hunting and the other 4 months promoting camp and hanging with the wife and son.

I am a telecommunications technician for Verizon. I was doing a lot of fiber optic splicing for the new FIOS project. Presently on disability was diagnosed w/ Multiple Sclerosis in 10/06. Just got the news I am cleared to go back as of July 9th. Never thought I'd be so happy to go back to work. Keeping my fingers crossed symptoms stay under control as they are for now!!! 3 weeks vacation 5 personal days + weekends.

RE: What do you do?
 

high school student here. two more years and im out though. Im taking dual credit college courses this year for first block though, which is awesome. They only have class twice a week, which leaves me three mornings to hunt because on those mornings i dont have to be at school till 930.

So for the next two years ill have all weekends, everyday afterschool, and three mornings per week.I CANT WAIT! lol

in the future i plan on law school after my cousin just passed the bar exam hes talked me into it, sounds too sweet to pass up.

RE: What do you do?
 

WELL WE ALL HAVE THAT PROBLEM AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. I WORK 2ND SHIFT AND IN THE OFF SEASON I WORK A PART TIME JOB TO SAVE FOR HUNTING SEASON. I HUNT MOSTLY WEEKENDS AND ABOUT 2 OR 3 HOURS ONCE OR TWICE A DURING THE WEEK.
GOOD HUNTING.

RE: What do you do?
 

I work for AT & T. Believe it or not 29 hours a week is full time/ full benefits. I have two days off during the week, as well as the other three days I am not due in until 3:30. The morning shifts I am done by 3. So I get alot of hunting time in.

RE: What do you do?
 

I'll be a Junior in high school this year. As of right now I'm working 2 jobs. One job I don't get paid for because it's just purely for my college resume', which I volunteer in the Central Sterile Proccessing branch in the hospital. (sterilizing surgery tools). That's Tuesday's and Thursdays, don't get paid for it but it should pay off in a few years. My actual job is working at a fairly large welding shop. I help load/unload trucks, package stuff to ship, paint, sweep, build skids, and do whatever I'm told to do. That job wont be lasting too much longer because i have to find something I can do after school. Might be getting a job at the local archery shop as a matter of fact. ;). Depends on what my hours will be come hunting season. Since I do the majority of my hunting near my house it's not hard to go do an afternoon sit. For the most part I'm a weekend warrior though.

Throw in 240 vacation hours a year and I am off over 29 weeks a year. Being that I work with all females, I never have trouble getting days off in Nov.

RE: What do you do?
 

I am a software engineer for a large government contractor. I've been at this job for the past 9 years. It's growing old, but it pays the bills. I basically have to work 80 hours in a two week period, so I can be flexible during hunting season.

I am an owner of a Property and Casualty Insurance Agency,my partner and I have 16 employee's.Setting aside time to hunt is no easy task.My wife is A special Education Chair at a local high school.
Over the last few years I have been leaving my business early on Friday afternoons to bow hunt,last year I added wednesday afternoons.It is a serious effort for me to free up time to hunt.There are many times that I can't go on my designated days because of business committments.You do what you have to do.I typically get out 20 to 25 times for a morning or afternoon hunt during bow season and hunt about 14 days during rifle season.
