I haven't heard from my boyfriend since Friday night

The uncle's email is on his website. OP, why not email him if you don't want to call?

If this was a breakup mechanism, how did BF think it would end? OP would say - well, hunting in Maine and never heard from him again, guess that's the end of that!?!

By the look of the guy it's not a far stretch that he is in the clink. Sorry op

So his okcupid profile is still active? Someone needs to see what he'd say if he were approached on okcupid - does anyone have a profile? I'm a boring old married lady so don't have one (I met my husband 15 years ago on Yahoo personals - we were early adopters of online dating)

Yeah, I also don't think this is a breakup mechanism. There are a lot of signs that the boyfriend is probably into some sketchy activities. I would not be surprised if he's just passed out in the living room of someone's double wide, sleeping off the latest binge or whatever. He'll pull himself together and skulk back into her life.

Can one even make a living wage "hauling cows"? I'm pretty sure I saw a documentary once that indicated most people working low-wage jobs associated with slaughterhouses and feedlots are recent immigrants (legal and otherwise) and people with other things in their profiles/backgrounds that would make other work difficult to obtain. Apparently the employers aren't very fastidious about looking into who is doing the work because you have to just take on whoever is willing to do such low-paying, disgusting labor anyway. (I also read a lot of my daughter's pro-vegan books, so it could have been from those).

I don't think guys like that have their mind on the long game.

His uncle seems to have a pretty thriving business - I wonder why the nephew isn't involved with that.

OP here: someone said it was but I looked and couldn't find it so no idea if they were just messing around.

Above was in ref to question of disappearing on hunting trip as break up mechanism.

I wonder what the market is for bobcat pelts. I mean, are they made into rugs or coats or something?

Op here: he's never complained about money to me or had issues paying bills, for dates, etc. so no idea. I've never flat out asked him how much he makes
