There is also a dove cleaning station, a shop, and a few other general storage buildings at the camp complex.

Responsibilities include:

– Filling corn, protein and milo feeders (we have an Auger for this task)
– Monitoring feed pens around the deer feeders to keep hogs out and trap coons
– Maintaining deer blinds (there are 16 on the property) for wasps and other pests
– Maintaining and fixing water lines on the ranch

– Properly cleaning deer during hunting season

Amenities and lodging included with this job:

– Direct TV subscription, rent, electricity, and utilities paid for.

Compensation and benefits:

– Starting salary is $25,000 per year if we have to pay for your insurance, $30,000 if you already have insurance. This is a starting number and will increase if everything works out. This number is what will be paid whether we hire one person or a couple.
