would getting a seasonal job as an outfitter’s assistant be a good way to learn how to hunt as someone who’s family never did it growing up?
I was on a forest service trail crew in Idaho this past summer, and I talked a lot to this dude at a nearby outfitter camp who had been hired at 18 with literally zero prior experience with horses or mules. He told me I could probably find a similar gig if I looked hard enough
I know I would just be managing the stock and packing out clients’ kills at first, and it would be a while before I actually start helping the guides actually find and stalk animals, but I figure I would learn a lot just being around professionals, especially since most of them hunt for fun on their off time.
nothing was in season at the time, so he was just alone, dealing with the stock and getting ready for when clients did come in, but he did mention that dealing with whiny rich people all the time was pretty annoying sometimes
anyway, I am still pretty hesitant about this, so I was wondering if any one of you autists had any experience with this sort of thing, and whether or not you would recommend it
