Bringing Home The Bacon

[WapitiTalk1]

What do the local Elknuts do to pay for your dog's kibbles? I'm a retired Army guy that went right back to work supporting Soldiers as a Readiness Officer in WA State in 04. I monitor and report the readiness posture of local Army units. Whaddya you folks do to fund your elk addiction?

I'm also retired, but do a little commercial fishing, live a fairly subsistence lifestyle (meat and fishwise) and married well.

I just started recently as a forest manager. I was a logger while going to school. Luckily my job forces me into elk country every day. It's not a question of if I see elk, it's how many. I sure have been blessed!

I got out of the Marine Corps in 2011 and get a little from Disability from the VA due to numerous injuries. Now I work full time at a Heavy Duty truck Suspension company. My wife kids and I try our best to "live off the land" as well. With our garden, chickens, and meat from filled tags and fish we rarely have to spend money on meat year round.

[Mikeha33]

Project Management for a General Contractor in Joplin MO. We are a small/medium sized contractor who has found a niche in the market that allows us to remain small, but operate on a bigger scale. I handle the project turnkey for clients, who are mostly well off private individuals. All the way from concept to opening the doors to their business, anything from a 800 square foot remodel to 100,000 square foot new construction, I do it all. Having the repeat customers is nice, and allows us to keep overhead low, by not chasing hard bid public projects, and negotiating and doing most projects at cost plus %. We also build luxury custom homes, but the market for those is small at the moment.

I own a directional boring company! With the winter we've been having, I have had a lot of free time recently! This week with it warming up everyone wants the job done now!
