I don't think having or not having a job is a major factor. Between my two buddys and I we picked up over a hundred Elk sheds this year in our area. It's more of how bad you want them. We all have full time jobs and id drive 40 minutes one way as many times as I could between two girls playing ball, practices, and games to have a chance at picking one antler up. I was going strong and still finding one Everytime out tell I got ill from a hital hernia. I had to stop at 32, but my buddy kept at it and found over 60 elk sheds. Also took my 7 year old daughter and she found her first, I was the proudest daddy in the would that day, she was pretty proud too.
