I probably fit the "dummy" category just for thinking about it. It's been a dream of mine since I was a teenager. I think there should be some kind of licensing if nothing else just for safety.
I've actually been "guiding" for years since my partners had little to no waterfowl hunting experience initially and none of them can even call a cab. If I can't go hunting they usually don't go because they have little to no success alone. From that standpoint they are "booking " a hunt with me to make sure they get to harvest some birds.
I am only looking to do a few hunts per year and I looking to be selective on who I guide. I am good with people and I like to make hunting fun.
I know there are lots of jokers out there who "guide" people all the way to the bank just to take their money with no regard for the hunting experience and the opportunity to harvest birds. I have been on some of those hunts with some so called guides. I have also leased some of those blinds from the same kind unscrupulous people. I won't ever do either. My personal reputation is worth more than any money I might make.
Thanks for the information. I am open to any and all advice and suggestions.
