-- what do you do? (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=936)

Do Pest Control and wild animal removal. Start work about 630 in the morning. Get home sometime in the evening. My office is in my truck but able to come home alot to make phone calls to schedule appointments. Wife goes to night school so that has cut into my hunting time cause I watch the young'uns in the evening.

Well, I guess if your only 16 like I am you couldn't really say i am doing it for a living but my dad, mom, I, and three sisters run a farm up here in Wisconsin. Girls take care of the house, and I am strictly outside and cleaning up when i am done eating. Lol! We have about 180 heifers that we custom raise for another farmer and about 20 beefers that we own for ourselves. Its a job but I get chores done in time to go hunting most nights.

It's not glamorus

I am a State Corrections Officer in Western North Carolina. I previously worked for the Federal Corrections / Immigrations / U.S. Marshalls in Western New York and had enough of the politics and snow so I moved South. Same 'Ol song and Dance. I start my Basic Law Enforcement Training in October to try my hand as a Cop.
My wife is a Vet Tech by trade but is at home now with our newest son. She is my right hand in the kennel venture and great to have around with her training and experiance. She has worked with dog's for 12 years now.
I only work 13 days a month, 12 hour shifts, so I have a good half a month to hunt.

I work for a contract hog grower, cut and bale hay. Hunt just about 3-4 nights a week, work training my pups and sometime I haul dogs or pups for people in Ala-Mississippi-West Georgia-Southern Tenn.
Guess that is about all I do.

I do about what I want to do, as long as I have the money! I am retired!

I am a pastor, obviously. I am the youth pastor of Radford Worship Center and also the associate senior pastor. Our youth ministry name is LifeChange Ministries. I have been full time here for 8 full years. In the last 3 years we have impacted over 900 (documented) teenagers in the New River Valley. Everyday I am in the middle of teenagers dealing with drugs, suicide, pregnancy, rape, physical, emotional and verbal abuse. So, coonhunting is the great escape for me to be able to relax my mind after dealing with this kind of stuff. I have the opportunity to take some of these teenagers coon hunting with me and it is a great sight. I hunt and show my redbones whenever I can. I am hoping that my male, "Gr Ch" Soggy Bottom Red Dawg will be in the top ten bench dogs this coming month. He won the Gr. Ch. class at a Walker Sectional last saturday in west virginia. I also just finished my 9 month old female to Gr. Ch. two weekends ago.

no much

I'm a stay at home mom for our 4 kids, housewife & doggie slave. Hubby is a truck driver & is gone all week long. Which leaves me to run the dogs & train them, so he can hunt them on the wkends & get the glory. I do web sites for different coonhunting clubs & keep ours updated too. I'm hoping to go to college once the youngest is in school full time & study animal science, hope to get a degree in it, but heck I've been outta school so long, I can't even do my fourth graders math no more. Gonna have to get my 9th grader to tutor me before I head back to school!

Own my own business. Took over a retail business that was founded in 1972. Ive had it for 6 years now. Have 12 employee's to look after, Im a tax collecter for TN even though I didnt sign up for that job, and stay in paper work up to my ears. But I pretty much come and go as I please but I have to stay on top of things as alot of mouths depend on it.

Also moonlight a little. Have a 72 Nova SS with a big block 454 out of a Vet. Yep, better stay away from copperhead road.

If I had feelings, that might would have hurt.

Network administrator. Started as a machine design/drafter, then when CAD came along, I found out I liked computers a lot more.
My current job, I don't start 'til 10 am so I can hunt as much as I like.

In the winter i wrench on equipment and do building maintenance at the co-op. gettin time off to go to hunts from about the end of april through the middle of july is like pulling teeth, but the rest of the year is pretty flexible for me.
