RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

There may be alot that count the wifes income as well,I know we have ONE income in my house,not 2 separate ones.

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

No doubt LittleChief, no doubt. Good luck with the new job.

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

The Mods. are gonna have fun with this one.

Hensler, I think this year for 30 yrs or more in the county the top pay was 63,000$ a yr

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

Lets just say I've been shootingthe samemid level Hoyt for the last 3 years :eek:. . but like Germ pointed out, that divorcehole takes a while to climb out of. At least I have more time to hunt :D

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

Not to nitpick but 26-32 per hour certainly isnt in the 100k range, not even close really. On a forty hour week, this comes to a total of54k to 67k per year, and thats before taxes.;)

Im willing to bet that nowhere in this nation is the average income anywhere close to 100k.

I bring in 6-10k per year, but Im only 17, so I guess it works out.

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I know the pain of that one, and I feel it all the time. I paid my ex over two grand a month for years.[:@][:@]

Thanks, brother. And I understand that last statement also.:D

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I fairing pretty well since all my fuel is paid for except for my weekends off. I have a 2005 pickup with 25,000 miles on it.

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

The oilfield is good right now...

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I do well and spend well....I need to change my habits...its a sickness...

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

Actually, I'mpostivleysure i remember one of them saying that even they cant see who voted for what.

Maybe one can confirm...

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

Poor college student right here. Since I have been out of school for almost two weeks I still havent made a Dime!!! We are still playing baseball so I havent started my summer job yet. My net worth right now is right around 50$ with out the K in there!!!:eek:LOL

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I have no idea how much I make a year until tax time and my accountant tells me. You see my wife does all the corporate stuff/quarterlies, payroll etc... Hell I don't even see my paychecks![&:]:DShe just tells me to sign the back and deposits them in the bank.

Now, I know what my company makes a year as I do the billing. I also know what my accounts receivable is![:@]I have no reservations about telling you I checked 75K Plus box. Mysalary plus the yearly investment earnings from themoney I made in the NFL (believe it or not I didn't blow it all;))puts me over the top of the poll. I do know I won't be seeing a stimulus check either.

I'm neither embarrassed nor boastful about my earnings, I live modest and work very hard and very long hours (70-80hrs per week) to provide for my family and hopefully I will be able to give my children a nice nest egg before I leave this world.

Plumbing contractor...sometimes very good...and sometimes bad

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I'm in the UK and Earn £23k ,so if my wage were $ i'd be around $46k . That keeps me afloat , living alone with my own house and toys .

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I make just enough to afford to go Hunting!;)

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I doreally good, but still cant afford a new bow every year. to many mouths to feed :D$$$$$$$$$$$$$

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

One year away from receiving my Juris Doctorate (law degree). I will leave law school with zero debt which is amazing. Hopefully I will get a plush first job. The firm I have been interning at has shown interest in hiring me, start out around $120,000... Not bad for 25 years old:) .

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I dont see an option for "college kid broke" haha

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

Huge paycheck, no debt from school, and in your mid-20s. Man, you suck.;) What a great situation to be in. Good for you.

I have worked my butt off to get everything I have, and I may not have a mansion or drive the fanciest car, but what I've got is good enough for me. Some of what is up there is deceptive too. If you live near a bigger city your salary will be hire, but so is the cost of living. I know if I lived in a smaller town in PA but made what I do living outside of Philly I could live like a king. As it is I'm just a small fish in a big pond, but I'm perfectly fine with that.

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

It is all relative. I have beenpast the top range in the surveyfor a long time, but I can't buy what I did when I was making a lot less, single, no kids, no mortgage,....I think you are getting the drift.

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

The stimulus phase out for married filing jointly is $150K, so this poll really isn't relevant in that regard since many of us are married and file joint returns.....

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

DC....

It's relevant if your wife makes more than you do;)

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

Amen.;)

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I used to make more but then I opened an archery business:D
In 06 our combined income was about 115,000.00, my share of that was 82,000.00
In 07, after deducting the business loss/expenses our combinedincome was 13,500.00[:o]and my wife made 35,000.00 or so.
So I/we went from the top of the scale to the bottom in one year! How's that for a ride?

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

If you don't mind me asking, what did you do before the shop? That's one heck of a salary to turn down for owning your own business:D

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I sold motorcycles
I was very good at it:D

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

Well working in the oil patch you think Id be rich with the cost of oil. But for some reason, only my bosses are getting richer. HMMM, funny how that works.

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

boy I need to read the post's first before voting....I thought it was bowhunting pros[&:]:)
I am a cable guy and my income is not enough for my girl to stay home, combined we dont
make over 75,000. Michigan is a hard state to be in right now. My girlfriend works in automotive
manufactoring and just took a 3.50 dollar paycut to kept her job[:@] Thank God everyone needs cable
and fast internet or we would be SOL.

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

No slam on the thread. There are some interesting figures, but here are my Thoughts:

I personally judge a man by much more than how much $$$ he brings home a year.

I have shared hunts with some real Arses. Although most guys Love of the hunt makes them compatible instantly.Some were rich, and some I am sure were just working guys like me.

Some of my friends make 6 figures a year, while others are close to poverty level. They all have one thing in common. I can count on them if/and when I need help. They can count on me also.

I think too many people are judged by the $$ they make, the house they live in, the car they drive, the clothes they wear, etc., etc.

It shouldn't be that way!!

I do not differentiate between my friends, they're just my friends, and I don't mean that lightly. Friends are definitely invaluable!!;)

The W2 said that I cleared $17,500 last year. Which if any of you live in Tidewater VA... you know that ain't hardly enough to live on. With the price of fuel now, I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. For whatever reason, they keep cutting hours at work, and they laugh when we talk about a raise, no matter how great sales are. Can't believe I went to college for this.....

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

Ummmm.... who was judgeing? I mean good post, and i agree completely,but really doesnt pertain in the given thread,. It's even anynmous.... unless i missed something?

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I love this last line ;)Friends, you cant never have enough ;)He who has the most friends when he dies, WINS. :)

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

buckmaster, I honestly didn't read every post and have no idea or clue if anyone was judging or not. Not the point, it's just the talk of salaries caused me to think of things I see day in, day out, week in, week out. People being judged for one thing or another.

I just put my thoughts down to maybe cause one or 2 to think.

Hunting is definitely becoming a wealthy man's game more every year. Higher Gas Prices, higher and more leases, everything across the board will soon if not already reflect the unreal rise in fuel cost over the last year or so.

What in America is not dependant on Gas or Diesel to get it from point A to point B. It goes without saying everything will be going up.

Didn't mean to interrupt a meaningful thread during the offseason. Carry on!!;)

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

Gotcha, I was just wondering where you were coming from.Great Post, except for the smart remark at the end;)

RE: The Bowhunters Salary
 

I have never been able to figure out why in the world is it such a big deal how much a man makes. It's always hush, hush. Why is that, who cares? My family, my off time, and my hunting is all that matters to me. I could give a care less about anything else.
