Hi, i'm a Guide here in the Great white North and find that if you enjoy the aspects of long waits,long and sometimes heavy treks in unforgiving country with the constant mode of explaining while forgiving?, then you've chosen a great secondary job.I'm also a new float Pilot/Trapper and i still call my chosen position 2'ndary,(Guide) although thats all i do!!There is alot of work out there for someone whom has the ambition , but there are always the ones that get you in but send you out owing!! Pick a animal that you want to hunt/guide and start there,just the one and be that animal. Read up on it,ask about it alot,and practice it's ways and you'll soon be Recognized. Once your at this point ? a lodge will be wlling to take you on with no Promises,but that chance of making it or breaking it! It also doesn't hurt to know a bit about fishing either before you attempt. I probally could go on and on of whats to know!,but one never stops learning and always keeps accumalating knowledge as He/we go on. I find Moose a good animal to get a foot in the cabin with!! Good Luck and Remember?,it's alot of Fun when your past the learning stage.
