I'm a Fireman professionally, and build houses on my days off with my dad's construction company. I stay pretty busy. But working 24 on and 48 off, I'm able to squeeze out at anytime and hunt.
where you a fireman at? I'm in Tyler Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk |

I glue the cotton on the stick at the q tip factory.
I sell agronomy inputs and diagnose injured crops, and work directly with fruit and vegetable growers to help them reach a year end yield goal. Kinda burns up most of the year but I get plenty of time in the winter to hunt.
But as far as the job goes, I'm that guy farmers don't like seeing called into their farms, because if I have to go there, that means something is wrong with their crop. It definitely has it's ups when I can figure out what's wrong and fix it, but it also isn't a good feeling when you have to tell a grower his crop isn't going to make it. This is mostly at fruit and vegetable growers, as our growing season is too short to replant and start over.

The better the farmers know u the better ur chances. Reputation is everything. The better ur thought of in the area the better off u are. Knowing mutual friends helps also. They can get a line on u from someone else. If u can get one farm u can pick up the next.

Probably could hunt a lot of ground if I would ask. We own quite a bit of ground and there is tons upon tons of state ground around to hunt, so those are the majority of the places I hunt.

I just took over as ranch manager for a Beefmaster outfit and I'm moving to the ranch so I've been knocking on doors and introducing myself and have already gained more land to hunt, over the years by word of mouth your dogs will get you more places to hunt, it's taken me time but being in the agriculture business has gotten me more land than I can hunt now

I'm in Information Technology... If it has to deal with a computer or server I'm working on it. I work for a DoD company called L3 Communications. Been working on computers now for about 5 years in the corporate world, but about 10 in total. I do side jobs fixing computers that have viruses and other problems, I also design websites when asked and paid to do so.  other than that, I work on my house, my kennels and help my buddies with theirs. I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades master at none really... but seriously, Over the course of my 16yr working career I've done dishwashing, McDonald's, pipe fencing, helped buddies with plumbing, little bit of construction, customer service and warehouse management, land management, and now the computers and customer support. Only thing I think I'm pretty good at is dealing with people... I get along with most anyone and know how to talk and relate to pretty much anyone. Has its ups and downs, but pays decent and where I'm working now is paying for me to finish my degree. |

 How often do you see stuff like that at work he flew through our compressor station about 10 ft off the ground. Crop dusters are a little off. |
