What do you do for work/profession?

[3325]

Police Department, 24 years, trying to make 25. I enjoy it but I didn’t go to the academy until 35, so at 59 I’m older than most doing it. I’m a detective, so it’s not as hard for me as doing night shift patrol would be.

I’ve built up a lot of PTO, so time to hunt isn’t an issue. Plus, I get a wellness hour during shift and there’s a decent gym in the basement of town hall, so those are perks.

Other hobbies get in the way of hunting more.

Side gig(soon to be full time) is a thriving OF page and feet finder page... DM for details.

I’m always curious what everyone on Rokslide does for a living and how it impacts your ability to hunt.

A few questions for the group:

1. What’s your job or profession?
2. Do you enjoy it overall?
3. How much time are you realistically able to dedicate to hunting each year (days in the field)?
4. Does your job help or hurt your hunting opportunities?

Some careers seem to allow a ton of flexibility for hunting seasons, while others make it tough to get away.

Interested to hear what different paths look like and how guys balance work with time in the mountains along with various tradeoffs.

1. Land Surveyor doing mostly construction survey.
2. Yes
3. Not enough
4. Helps. Our firm is pretty flexible and filled with like-minded people. My last two Wyoming hunts was with co-workers!
