hunting/ fishing outfitter

My paper will be on the profession of being a hunting outfitter. One of my strongest sources is Phil shoemaker, the hunting outfitter i worked for in Alaska. He has written multiple articles and been an outfitter for 20 years. His daughter is a registered guide also. Following suite with personal insight i was up there for roughly 4 months, were i had on the job training the entire time. I have 90 pages of journal entries, rough outline of my time spent there, and large amounts of information i need to find out and do to get a guiding license.

Another source is Western montana school for guides www.guidetraining.com/general_info.htm#job_placement and im attempting to find the true publisher im having issues yet far. I will edit this citation though. Under this website i have found standard wages and schooling costs.

My argument will have to do with conservation of wildlife. The good ol "tree hugger" vs hunter argument.

Im still in the process of finding sites on hunting outfitting its proving difficult since its not a true job. Standardly seasonal, and no real schooling needed. I know large amounts of people in the business or associated with it though to cover many sources. Hopefuly ill have more added as the night progresses.
