Hunting Guide Jobs in Colorado
2 open listings · updated Sep 13, 2026
Hunting Guide jobs in Colorado, listed as employers post them and as we find them on employers’ own career pages. Hunting guide work runs on short fall seasons under a licensed outfitter, with day rates of $150 to $300 plus tips and camp lodging during hunts. Colorado leads in guest ranch and day-trip rafting jobs, and housing is a major factor because mountain town rents are among the highest in the West.
More About Hunting Guide Jobs in Colorado
Each hunting guide listing in Colorado shows the season dates, whether housing and meals are included, the pay when the employer states it, and how to apply directly to the employer. There is no application fee and no recruiter in the middle: the apply link goes to the outfitter, ranch, lodge, agency or crew that is hiring. Listings an employer posts directly are checked by a person before they go live; listings we found on public career pages are marked until they have been checked, so confirm the details with the employer before you travel. Recently filled hunting guide positions in Colorado stay visible below the live listings so you can see which employers hire and when.
