[QUOTE="Bob S., post: 87482, member: 2927"] Its a wonderful life if you are single, don't want to make a lot of money, like working looong hours, can deal with cantankerous clients, cantankerous stock, and only want to work during hunting season (no personal hunting allowed). I guided and packed for several outfitters and I personally liked packing better than guiding. The stock didn't complain about the cold, tough hunting, loseing hi dollar equipment on the mountain somewhere and were always glad to see you when you walked into camp. They had better personalities than many of the hunters that came through camp. Guiding was ok but I worked my *** off to try and get some out of shape, noisy, clumbsy, poor shot an elk of a lifetime. Some didn't bother tipping but I wasn't doing it for the tips. My favorite guiding was during archery season. Archery hunters are on average more dedicated/hard core (at least in my experience) than the average rifle hunter. They were usually in decent shape and there is nothing like calling a hot bull ready to kick your *** within bow range. You need to read the book by Dan Cherry called "So you want to be a guide". It will give you a reality based view on the idea. If you are single and love the outdoors I say go for it you will experience lifetime memories that many people only dream about. [/QUOTE]
