He immediately joined the Rodeo Cowboys Association (now the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) and competed in the bull riding at intercollegiate rodeos while on a rodeo scholarship with Southwest Texas Junior College in Uvalde, Texas.
In Texas by 1858, he first worked as a surveyor, then moved to Uvalde and organized early scientific expeditions.
He has also made guest appearances in the small town of Uvalde, Texas, playing with the Uvalde High School jazz band.
At the 1991 World Gliding Championships in Uvalde, Texas, the trophy for the highest speed went to a winglet equipped 15-meter class limited wingspan glider, exceeding the highest speed in the unlimited span Open Class, an exceptional result.
In 1877, at the age of 19, Hill accepted an offer to work as a cowboy driving a large herd of cattle from Uvalde, Texas, to Dodge City, Kansas.
