I am a full-time minister. I work primarily with the youth (they call me the youth minister) at the congregation I attend, but also do many other things. I absolutely love my job, and would venture to say that I have the most flexible hours possible. Some office time is expected, but more than that, I interact with people. Kids have school during the day and adults have work, so my time spent with teens/pre-teens and their families in the evenings is where many of my hours come in. As long as I am accomplishing all of the things I am responsible for, how I spend my time is mostly up to me. This gives me lots of time to hunt. Don't get me wrong...I work a lot. I just added up the time I have spent working this week so far, (lunch time on Friday) and it is at 51 hours. And the week is by no means over. But it is truly a blessing...I get paid to do what I love to do. Wish more people could find that in their lives.

As for free time, hunting takes almost all of it during season. I have almost no free time in the summer in my line of work, doing things with kids so much while they are out of school. I spend a good deal of time with my wife. This happens throughout the year now that she is getting into hunting as well! I play Halo 3 online with some friends from college once in a while. I love fantasy sports. I play guitar. I study Jesus' ministry so that I can be more effective in mine. That's about it I reckon.

I'm currently working as an Online Sales/Media Manager with Rutt and Strutt Outfitters in Southeast Missouri. I've worked several jobs and I enjoy changing the "scenery" from time to time. I've lived in Charlotte North Carolina, Orlando, Springfield MO, and have done many things in my 24 years of existence.

I am a big part of the automotive and motorcycle scene so I have a lot of time dedicated to Car Clubs. I also do photography on the weekends when I'm not working or at car/motorcycle events. Hunting during the week is not possible for me, seeing as how I work 11 hrs + a day and all my daylight is spent indoors. Hoping to get to take the bow out a couple more times before the season ends here in MO.

I bought my girl a bow last year to hunt with me. She likes it, but if it is cold, dark, raining, snowing, windy, or if she has something better in mind, it is next to impossible to get her to go. Oh and that "glare" you speak of never goes away. LOL!

Started out after high school as a Fireman for 10 years. Switched over to the police department and am going on 27 years. Trained Serbian and Albanian officers in Kosovo for 2 years. Retired once and made the mistake of going back to work when I should have simply found another hobby. Looking to buy some acreage and retire for good in the next 5-7 years. Hunting with my brother is still my passion as is riding the Wing.

Like Bob Dole's, my job is fine, "inside work, no heavy lifting," not that that stops me from complaining.

We have flex time plus I'm an old phart s.t. I get 6 weeks vacation. So I can come in at 6, work 6 hours, and get off at noon using only two hours vacation (semi officially).

I made a road trip up to "tornado watch" near La Crosse back in the day (or was it Eau Claire?). We had our first beers about 9:30am. I'll bet they can't do tornado watch anymore - even in Wis. one has to be a little more discreet about their DWI.

I've worked as an Environmental Inspector for a municipality in NY for almost 10 years. Not bad considering I'm only 28. Other than hunting and fishing as much as possible, I spend time with family and friends.
