Jeremy, what the other three have said is all true. It is a dark to dark job. Sometimes you may have time to nap between getting a hunter in the woods and sometimes you may be moving or hanging stands in between, or scouting for deer sign, or deer movement. It is a great experience and one that I would recommend for anyone who thinks they can handle it. It requires a great deal of patience when dealing with your hunters. They can be very picky at times and quite often try to guide the guide if you let them. The pay at the right place may be upwards of $100 per day or more, plus tips, plus guide housing furnished. Some may even pay milage for the use of your vehicle. A good running vehicle is a must. Preferably a full sized pick-up, extended or dual cab. Oh yes 4x4 is almost a must as well. Also there is the time away from family, friends, and loved ones. There is a lot to be considered in a job like this, but it can be very rewarding as well.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
