Guide School Training Classes of 2008

Another great bunch of guys and gals in this summer's classes.

Each of our guide school students are well on their way to the careers they had only dreamed of a short time ago—getting all the basic outfitting skills under their belts with the guidance of seasoned instructors ELM holds in such high esteem.

Michael and I looked on as the students worked on their packing skills, setting up the camps, loading the stock into trailers, pulling the strings of horses and mules, and much more. The camp cook students prepared meals that would make any outfitter sit up and take notice. All of the pack trips into the hills went great; lots of hard work and great fun at the same time.

Our September class here in Montana will be starting very soon and as always we will visit with them "in nature's classroom."

More 2008 guide school class pictures will be posted soon!
