RE: I want to become a hunting guide, what must I do?
It had nothing to do with his age, your right. It was he was just green. He also had poor equipment, or lack of it. I really liked him, he was a good kid with a great heart, but was put on this piece of land that was a total flop for bowhunting. He was upset himself that i was told by the outfitter about what kind of animals to expect to see. We never saw anything within 50 inches of what was expected, and even at that there was only 2 of them that were branch bulls. This was a spot and stalk/call type of hunt, very open country. When you dont even glass them up its pretty depressing. I got duped big time by a sweet talking outfitter with a big advertising mailing list.
the whole reason i replied to this post was that the guy who put the post up sounds green himself, just because if he didnt know what it takes to be a guide he probably needed to get some training before he got thrown into the bush with a client. That and he kinda sounds real young talking about how he want to be a guide like "on the big hunts" Sometimes even i forget that some real young guys post here.
