ELM Endorsed Guide Training Schools

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 Outfitters, Guides and Packers themselves, they have all worked diligently to get where they are in life running very successful outfits. 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.
All of our instructors at our schools are much better qualified to teach the true skills needed in this business. They leave no stone unturned.

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's 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 [which is of vital importance in order for you to receive a well rounded education] 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 closely evaluating your progress. We have an actual interest in 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 to attend, Bear Paw Guide/Packer School, Hoback Peak Guide/Packer & Camp Cook School or Capitol Peak Guide/Packer School you can rest assured you will receive the best education required in this field. There will be a lot of hard work, and I guarantee you it's not all going to be easy. However, if you are a hard worker, 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 school program to get you started.
