Ya think they would even slightly consider an American, living in Alberta as a Permanent Resident - married to an Albertan, ONE who has only ever shot a 22 at some camp years ago WAIT forgot my neighbor taught me to shoot at her place forget her husband's name here on AO So I can shoot a rifle BUT to be fair I really need to have the instructions written down to I can refer to them from time to time.....

I can probably crochet a rifle as a dishcloth better than I would ever be able to shoot one..........................

One in the spine, but preferably in the middle between neck and tail for most backstrap spoilage. The third one can be a doe, but you have to make sure that when she runs after the first hit, the next cartridge you try to chamber is from another rifle of the same caliber; bonus points if the cartridge doesn’t fit. The time is yet to tell what the next round in the selection process is. Oh, almost forgot, you also need to post a bunch of very short stories from decades ago, but you have to write it so that most readers get confused and think that this is something that happened very recently.
Good one--You have to answer a skill testing question--Were are the trees in newfoundland--Between the twos and fours.Its all part of the fun--And not get upset when someone gets more game than you--and can out shoot you.Have to have a thick skin..All I can suggest for you is give your mommy a call.hahahaheheheheh.

QUALIFIER 3: Large fluffy moustache...preferably handlebar..ish. Preference given to those that can link to outcroppings of ear and nose hair.

QUALIFIER 4: Must drive an Asian built "truck" and actually consider yourself a "truck" driver
I only have twenty paid shirts, and still got the job. I do however meet all the other qualifications.

On a serious note, it takes a special person to do the job.

In the end it wasn't for me. I never felt I was right for the job. I don't have the time nore the patience.

For those who think it is a cool job, it's not as cool as it seems. It takes more work then most people have time for and to be good at it you have to have the patience of Job.

The one thing I did like about the job was the opportunity it afforded to support this community in ways one can't as a regular member.
