More About Outdoor Jobs in Wyoming
Wyoming licenses hunting guides through the Board of Outfitters and Professional Guides; fishing guides work under licensed outfitters on most waters. Wildland firefighters are hired by the Forest Service, BLM and Wyoming State Forestry.
Housing is included in nearly every Wyoming guest ranch, outfitter and ranch listing.
Applying early matters in Wyoming. Guest ranches around Jackson and Cody are fully staffed by March, and hunting outfitters in the Thorofare fill guide spots by August because the September elk rut is the busiest week of their year. Cattle ranches post year-round, and a hand who can calve, run a swather and fix fence will find a house waiting in most counties.
