What do you do for work/profession?

[Pilsner]

Retired/disabled military - doesn't pay much but lots of free time!

I also run a reverse OnlyFans. That's where I sent you au natural pics and you have to pay me to get off the mailing list. So far, it's paid for 80 acres and a new Kubota tractor.

Currently in the process of building our shop building to open our own Type 7 FFL. Got the FFL at the end of last year but haven't manufactured anything yet. Concrete slab is getting poured as I type. #Progress...Slowly

Luckily the wife makes 2x what I do so I guess I am also a kept man/participation trophy husband.

I own 3 blue collar businesses revolving around liquid waste. From transportation to treatment. Owned it for 12 years now, and can get as much time off as I'd like. But being a dad, husband, and the one where the buck stops, doesn't make it as easy to get away as I'd like sometimes.

But I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's what I'm supposed to be doing.

Electrical lead (motor control) and UL 508a manufacturer technical rep for a company that specializes in packing lines for fruit/produce. Enjoy it most days, don't get much summer time off. Get 4 weeks of PTO and use a couple every year for extended trips. Wife and two little girls get more time devoted to them than hunting these days, which isn't a bad thing.

What kind of surgeon?

General/Trauma, just graduated, passed surgical boards and became board certified last week. Going to do another 2 years training in vascular surgery fellowship, so that’ll be it, ultimately.

GM and though very busy, I find a way to break away for 2 weeks per year, plus 4-5 weekends. Definitely would like more time in the woods…. Job gets in the way.

Another GM here. We design and build manufacturing equipment used in several industries. It's a tough business but I enjoy my work. Sometimes weekly trips out of town for work, but also often a month or more at home. I take a couple of 10 day trips a year. In cool weather I overnight hunt/camp near home 2-3 times a month (during the week) and take an overnight dirt bike trip at least once a month.

The way I camp during the week is just leave work several hours before sundown then drive to my hunting spots. Hunt/camp/cook a great steak over my campfire. Sunrise hunt if possible. Head back to the office in the morning and shower at work. For out of town vacations I do have to get a buddy to standby for me.

Farmer, great schedule if you like to ice fish not so great for most hunting. Harvest runs over most seasons and makes it hard to plan trips. Over the last couple years I’ve finally just told myself I need to do 1-2 hunting trips a year.
