4-Week Guide and Packer School - $ 3800
Class is designed for hunters and outdoorsmen who want to learn the skills to become employed as a hunting guide and/or packer for Western backcountry big game outfitters. The snowpack has usually receded to allow for longer hikes into the backcountry. Large elk herds are still down in the low country providing great viewing and hunting practice opportunities. The fishing is generally pretty good, but undammed streams will have high muddy water. Job placement assistance is provided for qualified graduates.
