Then joining BCTMO Conservation Club is the opportunity you’re looking for. Take a look at all your options:

Are you ready to work with us as a hunt guide? The variety of species in the Chilcotin Ark and the range of hunt types means that whatever your guiding experience, we have an opportunity for you. We want guides who are stewards of the land, fit the description of a stage six hunter and are looking to continuously improve their skills.

Outfitter Guide School

Are you looking to get into hunting and guiding and looking for hunt guide training? Or looking for a refresher course? We have a comprehensive one-week outfitter guide school that will teach you all the skills you need to get started as a guide with hands on hunt guide training. Our outfitter guide school takes place in the summer to give you time to put your new skills into practice with our ecotour trips before diving into the hunt season in September.

Wilderness Lifestyle Experience

We accept motivated, purpose-driven students year round who want to gain valuable experience in the hunt and wilderness lifestyle. Our Wilderness Lifestyle Experience gives you the opportunity to get involved in more than just guiding. As a student, you will gain experience in all aspects of the business including:

  • Marketing and taking bookings in the office
  • Preparing meals for hunters and other guests
  • Cleaning and housekeeping of our lodge and guest cabins
  • Outside maintenance of our ranch property
  • Horse care, saddling and packing
  • Management and entrepreneur opportunities in all departments

Online Training Programs

If you’re not able to join us in person yet or not sure if working in the wilderness is for you, you can get a head start with our online training programs. These comprehensive programs will help you develop the skills to live and work in the wilderness, skills that you can refine in person when you can join us at the ranch.

If any of these opportunities resonate with you, contact us to find out more and start the process.
