Guides, Packers and Cooks Wanted

Have you ever just dreamed, okay, wondered, okay, fine, was curious about what it takes to be a guide, packer or cook with a backcountry hunting outfit, but just knew you couldn’t quit your “day job’ to find out. Well, curiously enough, we are looking for people interested in doing any or all these jobs and we are not looking for career-minded people! That’s right. We are NOT looking for full-time help.

Over the course of outfitting for the past 20 seasons and guiding 5 more on top of that, I have discovered that some of our best guides, packers and cooks are what I like to call our “celebrity guides”. They blow into town from whatever part of the world that that they call home, work their guts out like they own the place for 2 weeks and then they are off to places far, far away from Idaho, leaving with stories of adventures that could have only happened in “The Frank”.

If this sounds like something that you might enjoy trying for a season or 20, contact us and let’s see what and how you might want to contribute as part of our team!

I have always joked with potential clients that every outfitter thinks they have the best staff of guides, cooks and packers, but we really do! I believe it is because of the passion that our staff brings to their respective positions. Most, if not all, do leave their (substantially higher paying jobs) on “vacation” to work in the outdoors simply out of a love for this particular piece of real estate in Idaho and a passion for sharing it with others. Then they have to return to their regular jobs just to rest up for next season. These folks are truly amazing and want to share this place with others.

I believe that we have assembled an amazing group of “celebrity guides” over the years and are very proud of each and every one of them and what they have contributed to sharing our public lands with others. But, as in life, there oftentimes comes a moving on phase, knowing we can look back with pride about what we have accomplished and contributed. With this in mind, we are always looking for new team members who would like to contribute, be it for a season or, as for some, 20 seasons. It is up to you to decide.

The Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area is truly a one-of-a-kind place that lends itself to adventures unlike any other place that I am familiar with. It is one of the only places I know of in the lower 48 where you can truly partake in a “combo” hunt where you have the opportunity to pursue elk, deer, bear, wolf and mountain lion all during the same season. Plus, it is truly one of the most rugged pieces of real estate you will ever be able to experience in the lower 48.

So, if sharing this place with others sounds, at the very least, “interesting” to you contact us and let’s visit about what opportunities exist in sharing these public lands with others!

Happy “public lands” recreating!
