Getting paid to hunt! That reminds me of the time I lived in American Samoa. There were these two marine biologists there who got a government grant to "explore the sport fishing possibilities in American Samoa." They basically were given a boat and fishing gear and they went out fishing every day - weather permitting. They would log their catches and were eventually supposed to file a report which would be used to promote tourism in America Samoa.

I got to go out with them one day and will never forget it. Cobalt blue water, tropical sun and plenty of fish. I caught a 45 lb. yellowfin tuna and several dolphins (the Mahi-Mahi, not Flipper).

It's good work if you can get it.
