Hey guys,

I have looked into COAGS at times as well. They sent me an email recently to inform the registrants that a program about their school was airing on OLN or ESPN, don't recall which. They also had an article in the June or July Issue of Rocky Mtn Game & Fish.

COAGS can broaden your expertise and increase your readiness for guiding out west. But it is only fair to mention that there is a lot you can do on your own in this regard. Can you cook? Get along well with many different kinds of ppl? Are you a horseman? Knowledgable about the flora and fauna of the area you'll be hunting/guiding? Things to think about.

I don't know if you have access to your own land, or even WMAs within reasonable range, but if so, a good way to get experience is to guide ppl (esp. your friends) on hunts. Some guides offer apprenticeships with chance for employment upon completion of the internship.

Best of luck!
