BLISS CREEK WILDERNESS ARCHERY
ELK GUIDE & PACKER SCHOOL

Thank you for visiting our site...

Our school is the only guide school that specializes in turning out top-notch wilderness archery elk guides & packers. Over 50% of our outfitting business is archery hunting, so we know what we are talking about.

The school is held out of beautiful Cody, Wyoming, the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

We offer our Wilderness Archery Elk Guide & Packer School. This is a 4 week school. The first two weeks of the school are held at our ranch, covering the basics of horsemanship, packing and guiding. The last two weeks of the school will be held at our wilderness camp. We will pack-in 22 miles and learn pulling pack strings, setting up a wilderness camp and hunting in the wilderness. A 50% deposit is required to enroll. Call for prices. To assure that each student will get the best training possible, classes are limited to 10 students each.

Our Professional Camp Cook School starts the last week of June and the 1st 3 weeks of July. This is a 2 week school.

All students are required to complete the Erv Malnarich Home Study Course before graduating from the school.

The E.L.M. course was the first home study course ever developed for the outfitting industry and still sets the standards today for all other home study courses to follow.

This course will give you a solid foundation to begin your hands on training at Bliss Creek.

To date 100% of our students have been placed with reputable outfitters through E.L.M. Contact us for more information on the E.L.M. Home Study Course.
