Anyone work for a big name hunting company??
Anyone??..........bows, sights, stands, guns, scopes, clothing, etc.
Just wondering how big these places actually are and how many employees they have, salary range and so on.
Copper John is a local company and you would never even know they were there (way he wants it). Just a medium sized block building in the middle of a light industrial/residential area.

So I take it you visited Eric at the old bowling alley? [8D]
It's amazing they are able to produce the volume they do in a building that size.

RE: Anyone work for a big name hunting company??
Two years ago An outfitter out in Montana offered me a job outfitting elk, bear, whitetails. The main thing they really wanted me for was outfitting the bear hunters. The salary they offered me was 75,000 dollars a year. I turned it down being i'm self employed owning a Milk Hauling business andwas just to in debt and tied downto move and start all over.If I wasn't so in debt and tied downI would of done it I think. It was a tough decision to make none the less. As it worked out i'm happy i didn't go, I have myself a new little girl now who is going to be 5 months old here shortly. Hopefully we can make our own memories in the woods bear hunting and deer hunting around here in Minnesota inthe coming years!

To guide? I'm not calling you a liar Schultzy, but I find that extremely hard to believe. I own a bear hunting and fishing camp and that doesn't seem possible.

2 years ago when I was elk hunting in the Fort Peck area in Montana i ran into the guide out there. We got talking one night after elk hunting and he asked if i was interested. Like I said in my previous post I turned it down for other reasons. I think the reason he offered me as much as he did was because of the success i've had bear hunting in Minnesota.

Help??? LOL I do it all myself. I guide between 8 and 12 guys per year, depending how many I feel like taking that year....next year I have 10.
And if I were paying, I gurantee it would be no where close to that......no matter how many hunts I did.
