We use Schlumberger pretty regularly. They have good equipment and the guys I deal with are all good guys to be around. I haven't heard any major complaints from them.

I'm a contract gauger and its kind of a double edged sword. Your at their mercy in alot of ways but when they aren't around you can cut out early or slip in late to get a hunt in. Its just hard to make plans in advance. Most my hunts are last minute deals these days.

I run the sales and marketing dept for a private risk management consulting firm.  Its not exciting and it doesn't allow for a lot of week day hunts but it pays the bills. I travel about 2-3 times a month and no matter where I am in the US I'm always evaluating the terrain for hog dogging potential.  This may sound crazy but dogging in the woods near Albany, NY would be awesome!
