What does a hunting guide do?

A hunting guide plans and executes outdoor adventure trips for hunting enthusiasts. For this job, your responsibilities include locating the best and legal places for hunting and obtaining any permissions or licenses necessary to bring a group there to hunt. Additionally, you may arrange purchase and delivery of any required equipment from a hunting guide outfitter, hunt alongside the individual or group, and assist with preparing and processing the animals when a kill is successful. Qualifications for a career as a hunting guide include a valid hunting license, planning skills, and familiarity with the proposed hunting area, as well as the game in that area. You should also have a vast understanding of gun safety and the different kinds of ammunition needed for a variety of targets.
