It's very seasonal work - she lives high in the Rocky mtns, in an area that gets nearly 500 inches of snow each winter. Bears and sheep are both pretty scarce from October until about May. The summer that she did that job, she took nearly every assignment the DOW offered her, and earned about $5000. So it probably wouldn't work out long term for most people. She's also a trained PA, and was actively looking for work with a doctor in her small town. She got a job as a PA shortly after her sheep-finding stint, so it all worked out well :) SonyaAnn,

Once you got over the upsetting part, it doesn't sound like a bad job. How many sheep did she look for at a time? Crazy questions but I've never heard of this before, ever. I learn something new every day. The most exciting job I had as a teenager was to babysit for 5 kids and they were all under the age of eight. I might of been better off looking for dead sheep. It got crazy. Great post! Why did she stop looking for sheep? Once you got over the upsetting part, it doesn’t sound like a bad job. How many sheep did she look for at a time?

I went with her on one of her sheep-finding hikes, and the dead sheep were a huge bummer in the middle of a beautiful hike. Especially when they were lambs :( Jules – I agree!

The sheep-finding job is crazy cool in that you could get really fit, but I feel badly for those poor little sheep! I used to pipette blood for a living (at a clinical research lab). Wow!
