I own a bowhunting products company and I get hired (contracted) to work for other bowhunting companies. Ive spent much of my life in the engineering field and most working on medical devices. Most of my patents are for medical devices. Ive made some good investments, own some land with oil wells out west and I married a good woman.
As a traveling bowhunter, I get to take my bow all over Gods creation to slip broadheads through critters. Im always testing new designs and products. I pay for my hunts by using the hunts to test gear.
Because I own a bowhunting products company, I am tasked with putting down animals to verify and validate certain items. Killing critters is a must as live animal trials is where the rubber meets the road. Waiting for a season to open normally does not fit the strict time frame constraints of product releases so I travel far and wide with bow in hand to test bowhunting products. It might be on public land, private land, guided, outfitted, no fence, low fence, high fence. It matters not. I dont get hung up on such things as it relates to this sort of work. Some beople get all emotional and fret over other people killing stuff in a manner they dot agree with. I dont suffer fools very well and not associate with negative complainers. Show me your friends and I will show you your future.
All the hunts I travel to are educational, enjoyable and challenging in their own regard. This sort of thing will upset liberals. I wont care. there is the option here to use the ignore feature so they dont have to see it.
Bowhunting products are brought to market and you would want them to be tested on live critters. You would want wound channels and blood trails tested on live game. Rests, sights, quivers, etc. likewise should have the rigors of being field tested. If some think those trials only occur after waiting years for a draw hunt, they would be disappointed to know the truth.
Last year the live weight of all my bow killed game was 4,430 lbs. This year Im currently at 3,225 lbs. If I only did trials on my local WI deer and the few tags I get, it take a very long time to validate a design. I think folks here are adults and will understand. If not, again, there is the ignore feature.
When Im not on a traveling bow hunt, I get to work 7 days a week and 16 hours a day but since I enjoy what I do, its not really like work.
