Big Game Guide Hunting Guide *Success at its Best*

Yes, This Can Be You!

Just one of many success stories from an Elm Guide School Graduate!

Can you picture yourself as a Big Game Hunting Guide guiding here in the Rocky Mountain West. The excitement and anticipation you feel while guiding hunting clients and especially when you have the opportunity to bugle in a trophy Bull Elk like this is beyond words!

Many individuals have read about this unique lifestyle in books, magazines and by watching videos and only thought about what it would be like doing this for a living. Others however have made the decision not to just sit back, they put their best foot forward and followed their dreams!

One of our past students pictured here more than made his dreams come true. Giving a call to Elm Outfitters & Guides Training was just the opportunity he was needing.

The Home Study Course was his first step, then onto four weeks of hands on training. Upon his graduation we placed him right on the job.

Because of his dedication, hard work and training he went on to become a top hand and successful Hunting Guide. He now owns an accomplished outfitting business in Wyoming and is head instructor of Hoback Peak Guide & Packer School, an Elm endorsed school.

Can you picture yourself here?

There's only one sure way to find out, and when you reach the Rockies remember!

Trained Right The First Time Around *The Art Of Packing*

Guide School Students know that learning to pack using the proper techniques is of vital importance! You will be trained in both decker and sawbuck methods of packing. The decker is used more in the northern part of the Rockies and the sawbuck in the south

Here you see a big game guide training student being taught the skill of packing and loading panniers at Bear Paw Guide School.

Most of the time important items such as bread and eggs are packed in these - Hint they will make it to camp in better shape when riding on top, not at the bottom.

Students are trained the correct way the first time around!

This is why our graduates are in high demand by outfitters here in the Rockies due to the excellent training they gain by attending any of ELM'S Endorsed Schools.

Student At Guide Training School Camp

At any big game hunting camp there are always many a chore to be done. Students learn this firsthand during the hands on guide training school classes at any of our endorsed schools.
This photo was taken at Middle Fork Guide School.

Here you can see in the background firewood has been chopped in preparation of colder weather to come. The heat from the wood stoves is much welcomed after a long days hunt. Lanterns must be filled before darkness hits, buckets of water hauled and stock fed before you can finally maybe sit down to that good ole tasting cowboy coffee, along with a good home cooked meal and reminisce about the days hunt.

Elm's students learn team work and how to pitch in at all times when there is work to be done. We call this "Becoming an all-around hand" These lessons will groom the right mindset and should become second nature.

Outfitters look for students who are trained in this manner and that is why the graduates of our program are in such high demand.

Guide School Students From Around The World

As you can see we have had many big game guide students from all over the world. This year is no exception. Two young men came from Denmark to attend the guide training class. Having had different types of hunting experiences then our students from the US brought up some very interesting conversations. They received their hands on training at the Middle Fork School.


We are also happy to say that now 2 of our students which have been serving our country in Iraq are back in the states and will also be attending one of ELM's endorsed hands on guide training schools this year.

I even spoke with a young man over in Afghanistan a few days ago. I'm always amazed at the great phone reception they get from there. [no dropped calls] He is eagerly awaiting his return to the states to begin his training and on to fulfilling his lifelong dream of working in the Rockies.

Soon you will be seeing the flag from Africa posted on here. Imagine all of the big game hunting stories the young man coming over from there will have to share and we are looking forward to hearing them all.

Near or far ELM's Guide School Training Program is well known, respected and very highly regarded as the best place to get started.

You can get started today!!

Big Game Hunting Guide

A recent Elm guide school graduate living the life he always wanted. Now he is putting his new found skills to the test. It's early rifle season in the mountains of Idaho welcoming its first dusting of snow.

The rifle hunting season is set up to catch the tail end of the rut. Elk will be bugling for a couple of weeks yet. After chasing them around for a month with the bow, this guide has patterned the elk and knows how to lead his client to that big herd bull. A gratified client makes the long hours all worth- while.

ELM Endorsed Guide Training Schools

Don't believe the hype or the insinuations at competing guide training school web sites. Just remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Instructors at our endorsed Hands on Big Game Guide Schools work hard for you. With well over 35 years on average as Big Game Hunting Guides and Packers themselves, they have all worked diligently to get where they are in life. And they know what it takes to get you "there" also.

No team of experts is needed to receive personalized training in the skills you will need.

If you are looking for store-bought experts with little direct interest in your personal training, keep looking because you won't find them at the ELM Guide School Training Program.

Shiny boots, pressed pants and fancy degrees don't carry much weight in this rope slinging and guiding trade. Which is precisely why experts of this type have never made the grade at ELM.

Our schools and instructors all have been handpicked for a reason. Not only do they have the miles, years, and scares, under their belts, but also a real genuine teaching ability and a sincere personal interest in your success.

Working closely with our Endorsed schools, we are personally involved in your education from start to finish, from our Home Study Training Course through Hands on Training and beyond. When we meet with you at the Hands on Training School we sit down with each and everyone of you, talk with you one-on-one, answering your questions and evaluating your progress. We care deeply about your overall training, your job placement, and your success as a qualified big game guide, horse & mule packer or wilderness camp cook.

Regardless of which of our Endorsed Schools you choose, there will be a lot of hard work, and I guarantee you it's not all going to be easy. However, if you have the heart and desire for this business you may have found the perfect career for yourself–along with America's best outdoor guide training program to get you started.
