Question
Hello Mr. Grant, my name is Adam gross, I am 21 years old and I am currently serving in the United States Navy. I’m from a small town in Michigan. I love hunting, not just whitetail deer but other wildlife as well. I just had a couple questions career paths in the wildlife field. Where should I start? What steps should I take to one day have my own tv hunting show, or what classes should I pursue when I attend a university when I get out. Thank you.

Very Respectfully,

Adam,

Thank you for your service to the United States!  

There are many paths to working in the hunting industry. I studied wildlife biology and volunteered through the Student Conservation Association.  I continued studying wildlife biology during a Master’s and Ph.D. program.  I’ve shared which schools and classes I took in responses to questions in the Wildlife Careers category at Ask Grant.  

I started as a consulting wildlife biologist and focused on helping private and industrial (timber companies) landowners improving their properties.  As my career advanced I decided to share the same information through a show versus only to single landowners one at a time.

Others in the industry started by being a cameraman, or simply working for a company in the hunting industry.

The best advice I can give you is to seek God’s will for you life. Purposely pray that God will show you His will for your life and then follow that path.  That’s the best way to be successful in everything you do!  This doesn’t mean life will be easy, but you will always make the right choice.

Enjoy creation,

grant
