Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's the "funnest" job you ever had?

Rigging 3" pipe in shin deep mud while it was sleeting. Weather never got too bad when you work for Halliburton.

I'll never ride again without a 45LC planted at the back of pony's head, likely loaded with hard cast bullets.

Looking for good deer and cows beats the hell outta getting snarfed by an attack dog!

And yes, most horses are torture....

Another kind of fun was working on the Fire and Rescue.. Running into burning buildings or brushfires and not getting paid for it is just awesome, stupid fun.

Amen, Brother..
I've done my share of "cowboying" but it is to be taken literally....I worked with cows, I was never a " Horse Man"...
Don't tell Sam, but I've always pretty much thought of them as " Alpo-on-the-hoof" and they never had a much better opinion of me..

You still have to get on the hammer headed beast. Count me out..

I'd be all in for a guided horse hunt, hell I'd probably shoot as many of them bastards as they allowed.

I'll reload while you shoot.

Playing professional baseball in SF Giants organization was by far my best job.

And I'll sit at the loading bench making sure RL has the ammo to hand off to Steelie...

Most fun job I've ever had? That's an easy one.......

One of the greatest aspects of hunting horseback is the whinny.

You and the stead are entering prime country and the god damn horse lets out the loudest friggin' bugle known to the animal kingdom. I hate that like no other.....

"Job" and Fun are not normally associative.

Running a Snow-Cat shop during a Winter Downhill Olympic event would probly' be my call out.

Drilling in Argentina,....a close second.

I really don't remember doing much that wasn't fun.

"The romance of Cowboying" has been falling flat on it's asz for 150 recorded years ( Hell, Fred Remington Illustrated that)

No snivelling from old burnt out saddle tramps,...puhleeze.

It's all fun now,.......

Hawwwww,

I'll sharpen a knife, I always wanted to carve a good cut off a horse & eat it, just to be mean.

cause i love horses just as much as you guys.

Buncha horse haters, all of ya!<grin>!

Don't know about horsemeat...cause I don't like the french...but I can attest that Zebra is damned good!

But...but....

In a past life, I was a man. I was tall, narrow at the hip, and broad-shouldered. I spent most of my time atop a horse....running cattle from TX to MT. I drank whiskey like water and shot a man dead in CO, for looking at me funny...

Kid you not, man<grin>!

#1 The year I got serious about my trapline and profited over $1,000.00 before Christmas. Pretty good considering I wasn't old enough to drive yet.

#2 Waterways patrolman for a chain of payfishing lakes in Ohio. A kid couldn't ask for a better way to spend a summer.

#3 Racing our beat up Mercury Sno Twisters on the undercards at USSA events in the U.P. and Wisconsin. 'Thought it was a blast till I woke up in a hospital in Eagle River, Wisconsin and had to have the nurse tell me how she was at the races and saw me take out a chunk of fence in the third turn when my steering failed. 'Decided it was time for a career change after that. "Dyin' ain't much of a livin'"

I might know about that too..... Athletics was my thang.....A long time ago...

Well I don't have any funny tales but the "funnest job" was film editor at a TV station and projectionist for a movie theater. Still miss those jobs.
