ok well, its getting to the time in my life where i have o start thinking of what i want to do for a living. and so i’ve thought about it, and i always find myself coming back to the idea of being a hunting guide in colorado.

i’ve lived in colorado my entire life, (never once lived in the city, and when i go there for groceries, i always find myself wanting nothing more than to come back to the wilderness) i enjoy being outside more than anything, i also enjoy hunting very much.

(i dont mean to brag, but this my help my answers)
i am very fit
athletic
have lots of energy, but am calm
polite
down to earth
and not shy around people.

i recently found this websight anbout becoming a hunting guide in colorado, i think its like a class to get you started. its located near a small town called cripple creek, which i live close to and am familier with, so thats good.

so i guess my question is, i want to be a hunting guide in colorado, how do i get started, (kind of a unusual question i know but..) about how much money do guides in colorado make. what is a good outfitter that i can try to work for, or would it be better to make my own company? here is the link i was telling you about.

and also my grandpa and grandmother live just down the road from me, and they have a HUGE area of beautiful land that i know better than the back of my hand that is packed with elk and deer. would that be any help?

please no rude comments, only helpful answeres! thank you.
and my grandpa also has a bunch of horses that i grew up around so i am a good rider too. the reason i said that was i though that some guided hunts are on horseback.
also i am a decent cook, and have a pretty good sense of wildewrness survival.
