EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

 I have ben a guest for long enough and findly joined the board. I was wandering how many of the members are weekend warriors? and how many hunt for a living?

I don't hunt for a living, does that make me a weekend warrior?

I hunt for a living.

Hunt hogs and dollars, huntin for my tools, huntin the phone number of that client  and so on......

    If I could just get hunting to pay for the dog food!

I  did not mean to offend any body.        I work for a livestock and wildlife protection association covering about 50,ooo acrs on a salary full time.  I was wandering if any body else had the same situaition.                             

I dont hunt for a living but I aint a weekend warrior either.  If I had the money back that I have spent on dogs and all that goes with them for the last 30 yrs I could retire and bam all my money worrys would be over and then I could hunt for a living .  LOL

Lucky.... :D

Where in the hill country are you located?

Medina tx Bandera. county

I sorta do I work at a game ranch full time.  Guiding tending deer etc.  But as far as hogs I am a weekend warrier so to speak because of work and home.  Try and go as much as possible but that sure don't seem like much lol.

dont do it for a job but seen as im 'e self employed with staff and own several farms i guess im"e still getting paid while i hunt

So what do you actually get paid for, trapping hogs amd yotes with snares or do you have to do other things like set up skunk traps under millionaires guest houses??  It cant be hog hunting with dogs on hogs are there would be no hogs on the 50,000 acres you are hunting on right???  Sounds like another TV show in the making to me???

Big preadators only.  My ranchers do not all connect they have plenty of places to lay up and breed.  There is a never ending supply of hogs.  I hunt with a man who swears he almost had them all cleard out in the 60's and 70's.  May be I need to hook y'all up.  Knightstock.

Is that you Pete???

yes mike.  I need to talk to you i will try to PM you

Glad you finally joined us!

If I can't talk Jesse into hiring me on, maybe you can??? That way I can come live the dream with y'all instead of internet hunting for a living! ;D

Mike did JP tell you that we lost Hud to a bad one in campwood?

i dont think i could by boot laces from the profit if pig huntin. between gas ,dog food, wear and tear on everything so on,& so on my wife says it cost me about 10k a year. how many hogs would u have to sell to get that back. u guys that got managing jobs on ranches  about as close as it gets to getting paid to hunt. 

its like when i was fishing tournaments. when somebody ask how much something cost?  I alwase say it doesnot matter i need it.

Your 1 out of 1000 that get paid for hogging, ENJOY!

I have a buddy that lives up the road we hunt together often. he has a simulr situation. I would say we are living the dream.

Yes y'all are .......... ;D

I'm closer than I ever thought. Catching wild cows most of my life.settled down to working 3 months a year and guiding and hunting the rest. It's not as it seems . Guiding gets like baby sitting some time, 3 hours of sleep a night at 52 yrs old and real high mileage. Ain't easy. And most think they just call you up for this stuff. That's not the way it works you have to make it happen.hog dogs are fat bird dog needs work, blood dog sold new ones in elementary school. Constant battle. Better than building fence and hauling hay, or god forbid working in an office! 

shoot im far from it, im in operatin rooms all day wrist deep in bloody instruments and only do some back yard huntin every now and then for coons and squirrels

 rolleyes :-\

I dont hunt for a living but I think I could if I was single lol. Full time student athlete right now and my dogs pretty much cover their cost the bit that I get to hunt, granted I only feed four dog and all my vet expenses are free. Im usually only out the diesel so its not too bad.
