I went to one in Montana it was a month long program with two weeks spent in the wilderness. It was well worth it. I don't guide anymore exept forsome close freinds. I learned more about the outdoors and wilderness survival which still helps today.It is hard work and long days but your hunting (for other people) 9 out of ten days.If you do go ahead and do this make sure when you get hired it is buy a decent outfit. There are a lot of a holes out there. good luck
