So sorry to hear. Hope you can use your time away in the wild to listen to the quiet and see what it brings you.

Keep yer chin up.... better things on the way !

I lost mine the week before Labor day and more than likely wont be back to work till after the New Year. Have most my bills paid and unemployment covers the rest, figure it was God giving me a long vacation to hunt this year.

I had my best season after getting sacked a few years back. Take the good with the bad - there will always be both. Wise move going afield.

Keep the faith brother.

I'm sorry to hear that. I lost mine May 1st this past summer. Didn't get back to work till the last day of August. It's tough but the job I have now is a better place to work than the one I lost and I'm still on the list for an even better one. Hopefully, you'll be as lucky.

If nothing else, ya might learn what it feels like to actually hunt for food :eek: Kinda puts a little more emphasis on gettin' it done.

JOJADER gives a great perspective. Keep the faith and I will add you to my prayers!

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with the pigs. I know the feeling. I've been in VA since Feb working. Got a house in GA that just won't sell. I'm here living in an apartment with my family coming back and forth. But with all of that said I am thankfull to be able to provide for my family. Keep your chin up and it will all work itself out.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck on the hunt, let the air out of a hog, it will make you feel a bit better. All of us in the construction industry feel you rpain. Its a week to week thing. Good luck to ya!!

Enjoy the hunt..I finally quit fighting it and retired.

Like Biggie, I was laid off a few years ago. Had to cut my hunt short because I got a call to go back to work. Things have a way of working out.

Kasey, Ray may have something for you, besides a hunt! He recently posted about finding needs from other tradgangers on another post. Talked to him, it might be fruitfull.Have a great hunt. good shootin, Steve

SOmething will show up. That is the reason I always build residual income. Some of my friends think I am crazy, but then something happens to their income and they come calling wondering what they can do. Jobs are great and we need them to keep afloat, but a person has to look for something to give yourself another stream of income.

It is a long term plan, but it's better than nothing.

hope you can find something soon and if you need a hand or some cash don't be afraid to pm me....I have some put away for emergencies and I can spare some if you really need it. Call it an early xmas present and you won't have to pay it back ok.

Your canadian friend in the north.

Good luck to you hunting and finding a new job. At least it is during hunting season and not the dead of the winter or summer. You will find new work for sure, things have a way of working out.

It's going around. My wife lost hers 2 months ago, and mine being 100% automotive (Detroit) I may as well be on unemployment. With 2 boys in college we are taking a beating.

Keep your chin up, keep moving forward, it's all you can do.

I agree on the work ethic's of some Americans and we have grown soft. But Man instead of being compassionate about those who lost their jobs, is it easier for some to say they could always get work if they really WANTED to work? Are we Traditional Archer's any better than the rest of the critics who condemn people for doing the best they know how to survive. Most on here are better! Let him without problems cast forward the first arrow.

**DONOTDELETE** · October 11, 2009, 05:28:00 PM

Jerry, "keep your chin up" and "move forward" are American for don't quit and keep working hard. I don't think you disagree with me at all.

Scrub_buck · October 11, 2009, 07:18:00 PM

Don't feel bad ... I have been out of work for a year now. I'll second the college degree crap ... I have 2 degrees and am still and swimming in circles.

My wife is an engineer and is keeping us from loosing our house. Its a double edged sword though. I thank God every day for her and her great job, but at the same time its because of her that I cannot relocate to find suitable empoyment for myself. Chew on that quandry for a while and if you come up with a solution, please feel free to let me in on the secret.

kasey · October 11, 2009, 07:38:00 PM

Jerry Wald · October 11, 2009, 09:49:00 PM
