More About Outdoor Jobs in Montana

Montana licenses fishing and hunting guides through the Board of Outfitters; a guide must work under a licensed outfitter, who sponsors the guide license. Rafting guides on the Gallatin, Flathead and Clark Fork also work under licensed outfitters.

Housing is common in Montana listings because rents in Bozeman, Missoula and Whitefish are high. Guest ranches, outfitters and most cattle ranches include a bunkhouse, cabin or house.
