The worst part was that when I came home, I basically had to undress down to my shorts before even entering the house - not only was I constantly covered in blood, bone, and other "organic material", but the second I opened my car door our dog could smell me and freaked the out.
It was kind of funny, but I felt bad for the fella. :stongue: |

I don't know that I think this is particularly terrible (I'm probably going to do it again this year), but it's certainly the most demanding job I've ever done.
My uncle owns a meat market in my hometown, and processes between 2500-2800 dear during hunting season each year. During the 10 or so day gun hunting season each year while I was in high school, and the first four or so years out, I'd try to work the two weekends of the hunt (usually the weekend before or after Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving weekend), so about 5 days of working 8 in the morning to 8 at night. This week alone we would check in anywhere from 1200-1600 of the dear for the whole season.
**This gets a bit graphic from here on - do not read if you have a weak stomach**
In the morning I'd work check in, which consisted of checking in the dear, either removing the horns, or fully caping each dear (for mounting), using a bolt cutter to chop each leg off at the kneecap (easier to store and carry), and then carrying each dear and stacking them in the freezer/cooler until they were going to be processed. I did this from about 8 until 1 or 2 in the afternoon.
Then, I'd head in and either help with skinning the carcasses or butchering the meat (in any number of ways depending on the dears size and what the fellow who shot it wanted) depending on where we were behind. I actually really didn't mind butchering the meat, lots of "puzzle solving", as it were.
Anyway, around about 5 or 6 at night, the last things I always had to do was salt the hides (hides are sold for any number of crazy things), and let me tell you - that was easily the most ed up way to end a day ever, surrounded by tons of dear skins that you had to lay out flat, and hand salt (we wore gloves - but they were invariably compromised) all the days hides. It absolutely murdered your hands - I've never felt more exhausted or destroyed in my life than after these days, but I didn't mind the work and the pay was un-ing-real (not too mention that there was a huge catered spread of food available all day, and as much free beer as you could drink
I couldn't do it every day, but man oh man even though that was nothing but hard ing work did I ever feel satisfied at the end of a work day. |

There is such a thing as that military industrial complex. Our "defense" industry relies on a perpetual state of war so as to sell their products. |
