Alaskan Mountain Safaris Big
Game Hunting & Guide School
Alaskan Mountain Safaris, Big
Game Hunting and Guide School is an exciting comprehensive,
hands on school that teaches a modern and complete overview of
the essential skills and knowledge required to be a competent
guide or hunter in Alaska! From arrival until departure students
will personally undertake and be taught the fundamental
requirements of a guide's responsibilities just as if the
student were arriving at a wilderness camp as an assistant
guide, responsible for the well being and success of his
assigned clients and employer. Additionally, instruction
includes the conservation and public policy making basis upon
which any professional guide business is dependant upon. The
curriculum consists of 40% classroom and 60% field instruction
and culminates in a written test that passing students who
qualify, will receive a favorable recommendation for their
Alaska Assistant Guide License and potential job placement
within the industry.
Guide school instructors
include professional vocational experts well known in their
given fields presenting 22 different technical sessions. Most of
these instructors have over twenty years experience in Alaska
actively involved in their respective fields of expertise.
Highlights of the course
include each student preparing three meals for the rest of the
class, building and living in a functional base camp, actual
finding, viewing, and trophy analysis of Dall's sheep, moose,
and bears, two days of the best wilderness survival training
available world wide, wounded game follow up, in-field shooting
instruction, building of their own fleshing beam and actual
hands-on skinning and fleshing, and much, much more. Never has
there been the opportunity for this type of training and
instruction in Alaska. Sanctioned by the Alaska Professional
Hunters Association, Alaska Village Initiatives and the State of
Alaska Big Game Commercial Services Board, this professionally
taught school will be a learning experience for any participant.
