Email all the outfitters with what type of outfitting you are interested in. Tell them your plan, work for free to learn the ins and outs and if you do good and everything works out you will already have a job lined up for next season on the payroll. Numerous friends have went this route. Worked out well for them.

This is solid advice. Even if you go to guide school there will still be lots to learn. Also outfitters do things differently so by learning with the outfitter you’ll be coming back to you’d be further ahead than guide school. I know an outfitter in Montana who may be interested. Tell me more about yourself. How old? Skills such as carpentry etc.


If you want to do a guide school take a good look at Royal Tine in Phillipsburg Montana. He has a good placement record. Lots of outfitters have faith in his students. I hired lits of guides out of Royal Tine. Owner is Cody Hensen. Erv Malnarich (ELM) is outdated.

Guudeschool waste of time. Where you go work will probably do things different anyway.
Just hire on somewhere and go work.
Help tough to find. Most guys don't care if you know anything or even if you mess up. Just as ling as you show up and work.
More important yet is being willing to do anything, not just guide or pack.

Will say royal tune in montana as mentioned above is good outfit.

If you’re gonna do guide school royal time is the way to go. But also school of hard knocks is also good, I never went to guide school. As stated royal tine deals mainly with decker saddles I run all sawbucks, so some guys come here and have to basically relearn a lot of what they learned.

Us outfitters love free labor, and many will teach you everything you need to know. You have to look at it as an internship with immediate job placement afterwards. Least you should get is housing, experience and tips. We do internships with minimal pay. I mean we are teaching you a skill and trade that is actually a lot tougher than many think.
