WILDERNESS HUNTING GUIDE AND PACKER SCHOOL

Learn the skills you need to be a valuable guide and packer. We have been in business for over 40 years. Our camps are in the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Scapegoat Wilderness which are all with in the Bob Marshall Complex.

Although you could say Ron and Tucker Mills are “old fashioned” Outfitters with mounds of experience…..they never stop looking at new ways to do things in a more efficient and effective manner. This business is their passion and they have trained many people in the past to be amazing packers and guides.

The best way to learn is to get out in the wilderness and be in the atmosphere you will be working in. As part of your learning you will be taken into the wilderness applying the skills we have taught you. Our White River camp is geographically in the heart of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. The ride in is 24 miles and what a spectacular ride and camp!
