RE: I want to become a hunting guide, what must I do?
Schmalts,
Sounds like you got this thing all figured out why the heck do you even need a guide? I think you should take up your problem with the outfitter who put you with the guide child in the first place.
I was refering to the poor kid whos asking for advice on how to become a guide. Thats the one who needs a break not the little punk or the outfitter you got stuck with.
Next time you book a trip why don't you inform the outfitter of your superior skills and abilities that way he'll know what your special requirements are. And if he can't or won't accomidate you don't book the trip.
And my point is that hunting guides are made not born. It's the outfitters reponsibility to use competent guides. If you aren't atistfied then talk to him and if you don't get any satisfaction report him to the regualting state and file a formal complaint. Those stay on the outfitters record.
But don't take it out on some kid who wants to become a guide!
