Careers in hunting‏
 
To all that might want to read: I am writing this message to let you know that i remember the days when all i wanted to do is hunt, not that im extremely old but life changes this a little. I'm 39yrs, with 2 boys, oldest is 16yrs old & youngest is 14yrs old.
 
My youngest son Austin(aka)(bowhunter2424 on HN) asked me the other evening; wouldn't it be cool to have a job that when you get up in the morning, that you were in love with your job & didn't consider it a pain & or just a paycheck. Of course everybody wants that kind of a job but only a select few accually get it. Its to late for me but not for him. He informed me that he would love to be a professional hunter, & do it for a living. Now before we get any futher i guess you need to now a little bit about him & me.
 
Austin as well as my other son have been hunting, fishing & trapping with me since they were 2yrs old & have learned more about the bush so far in their lives than most people twice their age, but Austin is addicted & loves it. He has taken many animals in his young age. At the age of 12yrs old he took a WT buck, & a cow moose with is bow. I feel that this was quite a feet for his 1st year hunting for big game. I have instilled hunting ethics in them, respecting the land, the animals, & the law. Its makes hunting that much more enjoyable if you dont have to deal with any conscience issues.
 
My question to the people out there in cyber land is. How could Austin get into a job in the future doing what you do for a living & also have you ever thought of the idea of having a youth division to your team, somebody to pass the torch to when guys like you & I get to old & want to just enjoy time with family.
 
Please consider the idea of a youth division in your team. If at all possible to consider Austin as part of that team.
 
If there is any additional info that you can send me for him to start him off working towards a career as a professional hunter please do.
 
Best regards to all
