Hunting Guide Pay
Does anyone know how much a hunting guide gets paid a year? Thinking about going to school for it.

I think they get 100-150/day, remember that's a LONG day, from about 3:30 AM til well after dark, 7 days a week.
If you can hook up with outfitters to guide for: - turkey -archery elk - gun season - mt lion - spring bear You can stay employed most of the year. It won't make you rich, but it can be fun. |

My nephew takes a leave of absence from his regular job every year to guide for three weeks in Wyoming. This fall he said that after his transportation, lodging and meals for the trip out and back from PA were paid, he would have about $1000 income for the four weeks he was off of his regular job, not nearly what his pay from the regular job would be. He just loves guiding.

Also depends what you are guiding for, is it a whitetail camp where you drive hunters to a stand, leave em, then pick them up, or something like an elk guide where you are hiking miles calling and using your expertise to pull in a bull for a hunter?
very different jobs, also, horse camp vs lodge/trucks? Need to wrangle horses, know how to take care of a downed animal etc. Just saying "guide" could encompass alot. I would LOVE to be an elk guide, spending that time in the rocky mountains, bugling for elk. TONS AND TONS of work and long hours, but if you love it, its worth it. You will NOT get rich however. |
