Just trying to figure out what jobs afford the means and opportunity to hunt as many states as some do.

I'm a Gigolo. I'm not very good at it so I have plenty of free time.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

I'm retired, so that affords me the time. My call money goes into a savings account for my spring and fall hunting trips

I have 20 days vacation and 3 personal days. I get another week in a year and a half.

Probably most of us dont make much more than average. We just make it a priority during the season to hunt. LOL
I work in a steel mill, work 4 on/4 off schedule. With 3 weeks and a day vacation. Not enough but it will do.

I hunt at least 3 states each spring and usually every day for 5 weeks between Ohio and West Virginia. I have a very understanding wife and kids that love to turkey hunt, so it's just the way we roll. By the end of each spring, we are usually just scraping by. My last job was at a aluminum smelter, which recently shut down. I'd work straight afternoons there during season and burn all my vacation days to hunt states further away.
Now that the plant is shut down, I'm kind of free to explore my options. Obviously I need to support my family but I also need to turkey hunt. That is why I asked the origonal question. Just thought I may get a great job idea from someone. I'm taking some classes now but I know most jobs in my area aren't made for a turkey hunting nut.
Over the years I have worked many jobs so that I could be in the woods every spring. Everything from cutting timber to being a correctional officer at a
W.Va
prison.
Keep em coming, it's interesting.

I'm a glorified babysitter. Work a lot of comp time hours throughout the rest of the year to allow me the freedom to hunt as much as I want in whichever states I want each spring.
This year was Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, Kansas and New York....
I'm 29 years old and I don't have a wife or kids. Hunting is my greatest priority in life and I maximize each season Im blessed to experience. None of us know how many or how few we really have.
