[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1833190, member: 40587"] Yep. Here in the southeast, there are no natural lakes, Nothing but creeks and rivers til the Corp started damning them to generate power. Lakes, ponds and wetlands for water fowl and other creatures, were courtesy of the beavers for centuries, until the 1930's or so. I got a BS degree in Fish & Wildlife Management from UGA's School of Forestry Science my self. Growing up, I always wanted to a Marlon Perkins. But, about the time I finished, I changed my mind. Wanted nothing to do with any kind of government job or union job. When I first started in the insurance business, someone from a credit life company in Ga, came by our office, and talked to me and my partner about the new line of payroll deduction products his company. Invited us down to the headquarters in south GA for a meeting to learn about them and the products. The family who owned the company had 3 quail plantations, that they would invite customers down for a weekend to hunt birds. Well, first day, they took us and the other recruits on a bird hunt, with a BBQ and skeet shooting party that evening. They had awesome dogs, and used wagons and horses. Showed us the houses where they raised the quail. The flight pens where they conditioned them. The stables and kennels, etc. I was like " To heck with selling insurance. How do I get a job working on the plantations?" The guy who brought us down said "Why not just sell the insurance and make enough money to buy your own quail plantation?" I thought about it, and that is what I did.... sorta. :) [/QUOTE]
