[sir_huntsalot]

So what do you do for a living? What is it you have to do to support your hunting habit? I am a residential reno contracter but I have to admit its not my dream job.

[IslandArcher]

I work for the Gov't, I am a keeper. My wife sees where that money is spent. I have a side buisness cutting lawns. I thought it would help me out in getting new hunting equipment. It sure has been easier getting out on longer hunting trips by sliding the warden a few extra bucks. Actually I'm getting fewer and fewer bucks. However I'm still working on getting a new bow and gear.

[Shanman]

I am a Production Manager for Arvin Meritor in Chatham. Basically, I too am a glorified babysitter to about 65 people on my shift. Money is great and my wife is in the union doing payroll. Too bad she doesn't do my cheques.

[Dillershortbow]

I'm now a trimmerman at one of Buchanons sawmills. I was a twin band saw operator until they layed offover 100 employees last spring due to the softwood lumber dispute with the states..I'm also a spare shift supervisor which helps out on the pay check once in a while. My dream job is to walk out my front door in the morning and babysit tourist on my own property...guiding fishing, hunting etc.....Pay at the mill is pretty decent but i would take a cut in pay to do my dream job.

I'm a forklift operator at a forest products company.It's not what I want to do but it allows me to be able to hunt and fish and buy all my toys.

[Valley Lad]

I'm a Senior Project Engineer for one of the largest consulting firms in the Toronto area (www.mmm.ca). We primarily do land development and project management. Basically, I'm indirectly responsible for paving some of the best farm land in the province.

I could make twice as much money and still not have enough for all the toys I want. The best day in front of my computer isn't half as good as a cold, wet and windy day in a crooked tree!

[tecspec]

I'm an electrician. I do the control wiring for those big Natural Gas Compressor shacks that sit at the end of all those cool new roads all over the Alberta foothills. Pay's good, but right now it's 7 days/wk. every week. Only reedeeming thing thing is, its winter and I really don't have all that much better to do. I'm also saving up for some trips next fall.

Anyone in the Calgary area need any work done drop me a line... :cheers:

[T-man]

I work for the City of Calgary. Benefits aren't all that great, but we are so short staffed the OT is plentiful enough that I can usually take a month or so off in the fall for hunting season. It's now 4pm and I just dragged my sorry carcass out of bed to get ready for another weekend night shift. Someone has to babysit the bums, crackheads and junkies that
Cdn-Redneck doesn't take away in one of his dumpsters, plus here in Alberta, the 18 year old drunk kids who can't handle their liquor....oh ya and who's mom and dad are a lawyer. Hard not to love it isn't it? :wink:

[Gumby]

Just got a job starting Monday working for a company that does directional boring,trenching,fiber optic wiring,phone company maintenance,etc. Got a raise and haven't done a days work yet!!!

[sniper]

I'm a Metal fabricator, welder.
Pays not bad, but my lungs are gonna go for shit if I keep this up.

I just can't seem to find a way to get paid for shooting my bow or hunting.

[sir_huntsalot]

Congrats on the new job Gumby, Hope you like it. :D

[WOOKIE]

Congrats Gumby! Sniper, you gotta get down to the states and shoot the big money shoots, like Vegas. Wouldn't that piss off a bunch of Americans, if a redneck Canuck went down there and brought home all the greenbacks.

[sniper]

Hey archer I'm planning a trip to vegas next year for just that reason. lol

[WOOKIE]

Go get em Shane!!!!!

[Gumby]

Thanks guys. The best thing is I know 2 of the guys that work there and they say it's a good place to work. They're pretty laid back and work 4 12 hour days with 3 days off. Gotta like that. A long week end every week. The next couple of weeks are full 5 day weeks but once April rolls around the 4 day weeks kick in.
