What do you DO?
 

Any time I hunt, play golf, boat... whatever,and I run into new people I'm always curious what they do for a living. And since Bow Hunters seem to be good salt of the earth kind of people... What do you do? And are there any issues with your chosen occupation that arise form your bow hunting addiction?

I’m a computer geek, so things are only a pain in the backsidewhen I have to carry a beeper into the woods!

I am a Groundskeeper for a very wealthy man who's house sits on his 25 acre private lake surrounded by woods. Not only to I have lawn care duties but I have duties to the wildlife in the area as well. Every year I'll plant clover,turnups,& corn for the deer. Also, we usually put out several mineral licks.For the last 4-5 years I've worked there, he's never let medeer hunt, butearlier this yearwhile doing a little bitof bass fishing on his lake, we saw a doe running along the dam,he metioned me taking a deer or two off there this year. So my job has great benefits....be outdoors and I see wildlife allday.....Deer, squirrels, rabbits, geese, ducks, snakes, even turkeys in the spring and fall.
