USDA jobs?
« on: February 26, 2019, 05:48:55 PM »
Ok, I used to think being a fireman would be the best job in the world, but no more.  How does a person get a job with the USDA as a hunter????  How bad azz would it be to hunt predators and such for a living!

I’ve looked into it and done a lot of talking with them. USAJobs will post up the openings when available. They use some creative names for the positions. Not a lot in the area, pay isn’t too bad around 32-36,000 a year. You do as they say though or it’s on to the next guy. Snaring bears on Hancock land, connibears for bobcats and coyotes, the M44s are still used a lot. Their areas they cover are quite large so forget being able to check traps everyday. Oh, and all hunters think you’re stealing opportunities from them. So both sides of the fence hate you. I was gonna take a job with them in Colorado but decided not to deal with what they have to do. More trapping then hunting for sure and more poison then trapping when they get the sign off. The guy I talked to had killed countless sheep dogs in Colorado that hit his traps. He was desensitized to the killing it was kinda baffling. I’ll kill a lot of stuff but with numbers in the thousand a year range. Yikes. Oh! They also were going down the Columbia taking out some sort of bird. Can’t remember what it was but yeah, that was recent. A lot of airport jobs- pretty much anything alive has to be removed at those places.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

Great info, thanks.  Sounds like you need to have expirence in trapping, and it sounds like a great job to get if you retire young!!
