How do you fund your Hunting?

[Nameless Range]

I help folks exploit the power of location.

Depends on the size and complexity of the components spec'd but the labor comes down to intuitive 'gut'....as does the mark-up.

Yeah, material is easy to figure out. As long as the numbers stay in the + at the end of the day everyone's at least not mad! lol

I own an underwriting/credit analysis company with a partner. Our clients are credit unions and small local banks and we typically provide either all of they underwriting for business loans (mortgages, lines of credit, etc.) or an annual review their existing underwriting department. I take a salary from the business and my wife works as a teacher/administrator at a private school. We pay our bills and fund our fun stuff, lol.

I just take crap from everybody.....I'm a wastewater treatment engineer and certified operator. I also work on the drinking water side but prefer the dirty water side. It pays better Side contracts with small villages pay for my hunts.

People pay me to give opinions on things.

Well calculated opinions....

 

[Bambistew]

Wear a flame suit, and keep my head down. Provide engineering design, support and permit mining operations in the northern hemisphere, some controversial, some not, some in weird languages, and some under the radar.

I... well hell, I don't know. My job varies by Administration.

 

[JohnCushman]

I do porn with midgets. Their little hands make me look huge.

 

[coloradoguy]

Federal Bureau of Prisons... plenty of overtime, many times mandatory. So sadly I’m forced to use the extra funds to get new gear and get outside to play with it

 

[sjl2012]

GM of a fuel wholesale company. Once upon a time an Outfitter and Guide. Happy wife, happy life.

 

[EYJONAS!]

Ive developed quite the knack for "work" trips.

I am pretty good at planning trips for certain areas around the state dependent upon what season it is.

I married into a, wealthy family, that loves to hunt fish camp and hike,

 

[MTGomer]

I get paid a little to provide facts on things to people who are paid a lot to provide opinions on things.

In other words, I do a lot of work with land, and communicate with attorneys often

Sometimes you have to keep all the little ones, and other times it’s just straight up catch and release.

That was always my plan. I came nowhere close in the end.

I work oil spills. Out of college I started working for a spill management company. Did that for a few years and hated it. The travel, on call 24/7, and lack of time off didn’t justify the pay.
Was looking to get out of the spill business when I got a phone call asking if I wanted to work spills for the state and been here since May. Pays about the same, but spend very few nights away from home, actually have an on call schedule, build up a lot of K time, and stay within Louisiana borders.

I really don’t make extra to afford hunting. I just save money by pulling from the lowest shelf at the liquor store.

 

[Ben Sellers]

I’m an environmental engineer for a large manufacturing facility. I mainly work with air emissions but have done industrial wastewater and solid waste.

Essentially...although I’m real civilized about it...

 

[KipCarson]

Wildlife Biologist, private company, mostly working with waterfowl habitat improvement. Do a lot of duck banding in the springtime and a few other fun things but most days it’s just random manual labor projects.
As far as paying for my habits, I have a part time taxidermy business on the side that helps with that a little bit but it keeps me busier than I’d like. Overall it’s not the way to get rich but it keeps me outside and in a sane state of mind. Most days...
