WEMPLE'S WILDLIFE GUIDE SCHOOL and HUNTING OUTFITTER SCHOOL
HUNTING SCHOOL CLASSES AND SERVICES
If you are considering a guiding career, I can train you for it, personally. guides have a spirit for wilderness exploration, adventure, and a respect for nature, and for big game hunting guides it seems, a need to hunt. These traits to be outdoors are in some people's blood more than others. Considering myself and other guides I have trained and known over the years; we seem to share these common passion as outfitters and guides helping them enjoy what we live. It is not an easy job, but it is very rewarding. It Is fulfilling to enjoy every day of work and be excited about where you are and what you do. Finding satisfaction with what you do and the ability to make a living at it is everyone's dream. But, have no illusions, it takes dedication and hard work.
Guiding and working with an outfitter is different than most jobs. Proper training is necessary before handling clients, particularly in backcountry areas. An apprenticeship is the best way to get started on the right path to become a professional guide/outfitter. This experience can and will make you qualified for a career in the outfitters industry. I have worked as a full time Outfitter my entire life and I assure you that my training is sincere, forthright and experienced in what we do. In addition, job placement service is available
