meat, etc. As your abilities improve and it is

General Employment Info
Successful Applicants Must Be: Honest,
mature, dependable, self motivated, clean and presentable,
drug free, non-alcoholic, must enjoy
people, be knowledgeable and experienced
big game hunters, and must have little or
no wildlife violations.
Successful Applicants will need to attend a 1 day
first aid class and spend time in the hunting
areas learning the habits of our local game

be required to stay at our hunting locations
during the hunts so you will have minimal living expenses. Guide school is a plus but not necessary.
FYI - Most of our guides and employees have
other occupations and work anywhere from only a week
up to three months each year. We also have had retired people who fit in
well, and we have had younger guys who are a
real asset to the operation. As you can see, the
most important thing to BearPaw Outfitters is that you can get the job
done.
Send a short resume detailing your hunting
experiences, the number of years you have been
hunting various species and your successes,
personal character references, work history,
work references, your goals in the outdoor
industry and your job expectations.
Thanks For Your Interest,
