I actually believe it to be some sort of computer business or something??
So I don't see him benefiting greatly from the influx of hunters...
Really.
So you mean that the motel who survives because of the Non Resident dollar doesn't hire him to work on their computers when it had problems? How about those farmers who make $2,000 per gun. Don't they have computers to work on? Gas stations? Cafes? Guides?
Seems all those folks who benefit directly from those non resident dollars would have more money to have the compter guy work on their machines.
People don't seem to realize that the money tourists/hunters/fishermen bring to communities trickle all through the community.
I live in an area where tourist and seasonal dollars fuel the economy. We ALL benefit from it.
... you don't seem to realize that you don't have a CLUE what you are talking about.
Even motels in SD use a canned hardware/software check in system provided from their national headquarters. NO COMPUTER WORK from motels... ever.
Same goes for gas stations.
Cafe's around here DONT HAVE COMPUTERS. They use these things called CASH REGISTERS.
Guides?
Not ONE guide service I know of has a computer. (and I know of about 40) They dont even have a website most of the time. Don't need to with these kinds of numbers of birds.
You are dead wrong about this money that you say "trickles" around the community. A few select business' benefit, and the OWNERS of that business are the only ones that see profit. You have absolutely NO CLUE about how small town south dakota works. Hell... most people that live here don't even SHOP HERE. So even IF those store owners gave their employees raises, and everybody had a bunch more money... they go to bigger towns to spend it! Mitchell, Watertown, Sioux Falls are the number one shopping locations for huron and its surrounding communities.
NOBODY GETS A RAISE DURING PHEASANT SEASON. The owners of hotels, gas stations, and resturaunts, and the STATE get the money. That accounts for almost NOBODY. Our little communities don't see SQUAT. Contrary to what you THINK you know... local business' do NOT rely on pheasant season to survive. That holds true for EVERY SINGLE business in huron. There are TWO business' that this does NOT hold true for. Don Juan's in Cavour. (he has strippers every year for pheasant season) And the bar in yale.
Don't be so naive.
Keep on talking pal. Your ASSUMPTIONS of what you know, don't count for actual experience now do they?
