If he is talented, he could find a sponsor and become a Pro-staffer for one of the Sporting Goods or Major Firearms companies,making Hunting Video’s or Cable Hunting Shows etc (After all wouldn’t we ALL like to hunt and get paid to do it?) but it is a highly competetive business and the positions are much sought after. It would take a bit of time to accomplish too, so your brother would have to support himself meanwhile…….

If you can sell the deer for several hundred $$ you may break even. This question is absurd. You are kidding,
right?

His best bet would be to find a hunting-related job, like a salesperson at Outdoor World or something like that. Sponsored hunting gigs are one-in-a-million and usually given to people already within the industry.

He could shoot nice bucks and sell the head/antlers to people from Chicago. Or he could learn to make chandeliers and knife handles form the antlers and sell those. By the time he mastered this art, however, he probably could have found another job.

Well, there are 2 possibilities. 1. He could become a deer processor (up to 80 $ for de boning & cutting up a deer) or 2. He could get into taxidermy. both of those activites bring in decent money during the deer season.
