How do you become a hunting guide?

Question

I know there are schools for hunting guides but that is up north, I want to become a guide in Florida but I am not sure what I can do to become a guide, does anyone know?

Answer 1

Depends on the state.

Example Maine regulates the Guides and has classes and testing requirements.

Answer 2

in Montana & Wyoming you can buy an existing hunting camp. it might be the same in Fla. some outfitters purchase the hunting rights to all "antlered" elk & deer on a parcel. then the land's owners (or local sportsmen) can fill their cow & doe permits and the locals feel less resentment against the outfitter.
