June 1 - 27, 2009
4-Week Guide and Packer School - $ 4000

Class is designed for hunters who want to learn the skills to become employed as big game guides and/or packers for Western backcountry 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.
