I researched this before the time of kids and family and all. In the backs of alot of the hunting magazines there are guide schools. I cant remember which one it was but I imagine that they are still there. I called a number and spoke with a guy about it. Be ready for some hard but rewarding work. The jobs are usually seasonal but trails rides and fishing can fill the gaps. Good luck in your search, I hope this helps.

I would think if you wanted a job with a guide service, they would be the best sources to ask about guide schools. After all, they'll be the ones you are trying to impress when you finish your training. They should be able to tell you the better ones out there. Plus, you may make a contact for later use when you are job hunting for guide work.

Another thing you might do is got ahold of the outfitters assocations in different states and get some info from them. Outfitters have a hard time getting good help. Maybe some one will hire you and give you OJT.

Save your money most guide schools are a joke. Talk to outfitters during the big horn sportsman show in Spokane. Most outfitters need to find at least one new hand every year.

Get ready for some action when you start. I've been kicked, dragged,and stepped on. And if you don't know the answer, Just ask the clients. They usaully know it all. I have had the experience lately of doing swap hunts with guides from Alaska. Different world down here.
