After almost two years trying to go fulltime, I had to quit my day job. I was losing too much cash at work. Those rattlesnake calls are my favorite.
I just hope I don't get all salty like some of the board members here.
So you newer guys stick with it if you really want to do this.

Yup now you will have a easy job ,that's what I was told thursday . I removed a family of possum from this guys lawn mower . The guy goes must be nice to have such a easy job . I go well I wouldn't say it's easy . No days off and driving all day . He's goes well its not like working in a shop where you lift heavy stuff . I go where you just show up to work and have the weekends off . Then I'm thinking to myself if my job is so easy why is your wife writing me out a check right now . I can't wait to take a few days off come on holiday time to camp out and just fish and sleep . Plan to do both at the same time . Good luck and don't get snake bit . have you ever tried using a broom and a garbage can on rattle snakes . I took a class and that's how we did there . She had a massasauga rattle snake there for us to practice on

Thats funny , But it's true . Today I took most of the day off and setup this big beaver job . Dang beavers flooded out this subdivision . Water started up in the lawns and there trees started falling accross there lawns . They thought It was kool the first few years they were there . But the beaver keep down on the river . Now the river is up in the yards . People came running to the truck like i was the ice cream man . They all had something to show me and wanted to know how many I caught so fare . None yet just setting the traps . After I got done they came running again . I told them if you go down there I would watch where you step . Set 330 , MB750 and snares . Left my canoe in one guys yard and all my trapping stuff right in it . There paying me to pull. Out the dam . I feel sorry for the people down river . It's atleast 5 ' tail and it's got there lake up 18" . There's going to be some water come rushing down river . Think I'll tie a rope on my boys when there doing that part of the job . I told them to give me a bid on it and I'll turn it in for them and they get to keep every Pennie of it . The job is kinda hard to set up they flood this marsh and there's no dry land to work from . I see there starting a new dam down river so I mite put some sets down there if the ones I came up with don't get it done tonight . The dam it self must be 75 yards across . It's a monster of a dam . I made some video of the sets I made .

Hey Aaron, don't listen to RF and Pesky. Those guys are goof-offs. You'll be able to get a lot more hours than that!
