RE: How do you become a Pro. Hunter?
Learn how to write and then learn how to hunt. The main thing is, I would think, is knowing the right people. You can't have a job because that gets in the way of hunting.

RE: How do you become a Pro. Hunter?
Doug you are right. You can't have a job, due to hunting and the outdoors being your job, you eat, sleep, breath hunting 365 days a year. Sponsors is the only possible way unless you are independantly wealthy, I rely on sponsors for 2 major things, products, cash, and one not so big thing is the image those sponsors give you. First things are first, you have to prove what you would be worth as an asset of different companies which would call for being an outdoor writer, photographer, videographer, etc... know what you preach and be willing to learn everyday of your career and never think or call yourself a professional hunter, I have seen it go to people's heads. The best advice out of all is to have fun and just because you may go as many as 2 or 3 months or longer without a check, stick with it if thats what you really want to do, not many survive in the business to make the rank.

Becoming a professional hunter would be cool, but now I'm going to college after something more promising. But like others said, you can make almost anything happen, if you do the right things, and put everything into your goal.

RE: How do you become a Pro. Hunter?
Well I just had a job interview today, and one of the main aspects of the job is hunting. Unfortunately, it will not include deer. Mostly feral cats and black rats on San Clemente Island off of California. At least a bachelors degree in a wildlife management/biology field was required for the job.
