The Royal Tine Guide School was
featured in the Dec. 98 issue of Peterson's
Hunting Magazine and received great reviews.
"...Russ and I were invited to
visit Cody Hensen's school in Philipsburg,
Montana. We almost declined out of sheer spite
for the entire outfitting industry, but our
curiosity won out and we ended up amazed at
Hensen's outfit. He conducts classes in a remote
region of a 14,000 acre ranch, far from asphalt
and interstate traffic. He keeps the number of
enrollees to 8 per class to allow for
increased one-on-one work and to better monitor
the progress of each student. Most importantly,
Hensen actually teaches the classes himself,
going so far as to stay in the wall tents with
his students for the duration of the 30-day class
session. His desire to provide a thorough
education is so intense that he even passes on
such oblique knowledge as bow-and-drill fire
making.
We talked with each of the students at various
times throughout the day and they were not only
unanimously satisfied with Hensen's instruction,
but elated at their entire guide school
experience. Before the afternoon was out, word
came that two of the students had secured jobs
with an outfit in Colorado..."
