I do feel lucky to be one of over 1,200 applicants but I think being a veteran, an assoc. degree, and over 35yrs enjoying the outdoors did'nt hurt me either;) I've heard that you just coul'nt work for a better outfit......TF

[rjolenic]

Congrats on getting the job Turkeyfoot!

[Beentown]

George your showing your age :D It is from the movie 'The Goonies' (a popular movie made in the 80's...cult classic). There is a....hmmm.... "big boned" boy on it named Chunk and he does this dance called the truffle shuffle. Basically he pulls up his shirt and shakes his big bones. :D

Beentown

[george tinkham]

his name is chunk?

[Beentown]

No in your previous post you had a typo of calling chuck adams...chunk... That is where I got the reference... Here is a pic of sloth and chunk from the movie but now I am letting this go because I had fun with it but...no one else got the reference...Sorryhttp://www.ohiosportsman.com/photopost/data/504/847chunk_and_sloth.jpg

I still can't believe no one else has seen this movie!

[Beentown]

His nickname is Chunk. Just to clear that up;)

[Beentown]

PS Good luck on the job Turkeyfoot. I am sure you will do well.

Beentown

[Thunderflight]

Turkeyfoot,

When I retire can you put in a good word for me? As of this week I'm planning on staying in until I've got 25 or 26 years in. I'd like my second career to be with Cabelas or Bass Pro..... ;)

TF

[george tinkham]

chunk adams...heh heh heh.

[george tinkham]

i will prolly be there to check it out an pay ole turkeyfoot a visit.

[Turkeyfoot]

Appreciate the support, guys! Tf....you can check job postings at all stores by going to their website! Click on "about us" then on "careers". Resume's are even sent in online. Since forced into early retirement (UMWA), I'm looking forward to my second career:cool: 33 yrs of underground mining jobs has been hard on the ole body for sure, this job should be right up my alley;) Cabela's called me back the next day and informed me they were going to switch me from the marine section to the bargain cave area! Don't matter to me, my foots in the door so to speak....TF

[Thunderflight]

TF,

If you don't mind me asking, but what is their starting wage?

TF

[CritterGitter]

Congrats Turkeyfoot. That sounds like a great opportunity. It would be neat to go to work everyday at a place like that. It should be fun.

CG

[Turkeyfoot]

Tf.....starting wage is $9.00/hr....don't know how their pay scale runs as of yet, but will know more once I get into orrientation in July. Full benefits inc eye, dental, and medical is a plus!

[205]

I'll hunt you up when Im up after toys this fall.

[george tinkham]

bargain cave sounds good to me,i like bargains an i like caves,i'm sure i'll be runnin into you there...

[Neapolis]

I visit the Dundee store on a regular basis. They really are something to see. I have to leave my wife at home, she spends more there than I do. :rolleyes:.

[Thunderflight]

Man that'll be exactly what I'll be looking for!!!!:)

Now all I gotta do is survive at least seven more years working for Uncle Sam. :)

TF

[Turkeyfoot]

That's usually the first place I go when I go to a big outdoor store, the bargain area. I'll probably be swamped at first. You guys betterget there early cause I'll have all the goodies hid in my personal lay-a-way! LOL! I just applied for my Cabela's Visa to make things a tad easier......TF

[Buckmaster]

TF
You better start saving now. My buddy worked at Dicks for a while in the "Lodge". I think he made $ 8/hr. but the things he dragged home were great. $ 10 Rockies, $ 30 Scent Lok, etc.
You'll have all the goodies soon. Congrates.
Buckmaster

[Thunderflight]

TF,

Can you get me a set of Rocky Long beard snake boots?

TF

[Turkeyfoot]

Tf.....Maybe later on.....store does'nt open until Aug. 12th! Remind me in a couple months of your size and I'll see what I can come up with;) ....TF

[Thunderflight]

COOL!!!!

I wore the soles outta my last set. The tred is still good, but they are peeling apart at the back. I wasn't going to worry about it, but now they are starting to leak.

TF

[george tinkham]

i want to meet chunky

[Thunderflight]

I met him once at a sports show in Harrisburg, PA. That was before he was real famous. He seemed like a pretty good guy and left a good impression.

TF

[george tinkham]

seems hes been around a long time writin archery,bout as long as i been shootin bows i think.

[Beentown]

I wonder what most of these guys (prof hunters) think of alot of the topics that are hot for us i.e. leases, crossbows, etc?

Im sure they don't mind leases since they hunt them and it is the way its done in the southern states. Which most I see are from the south.

[george tinkham]

I DONT THINK CHUCK HAS MUCH OF A STANCE HOW PEOPLE HUNT,AS long as its done legal an ethical...he has taken many p$y on ranches but duz not enter them.he did not enter many p$y animals when he first started huntin but was highly criticised for not doing it so he started,then he really got in it for the records thing an the slams an first hunter to get all p$y animals of n america,etc.he admits that this was his goals an its his job,an he loves his job.sorta like the bill dance or rowlun martin of fishin.

[Thunderflight]

I believe his pope and young white tails were killed on game ranches in Texas.
