Hunting guides make DAMNGOOD money! In the summer, you'll generally be taking people camping, but they tip really well, too. PLUS, you're in camp about 8-9 months out of the year, for 5-7 days at a time. You have very few personal expenses, since you're eating the outfitter's food and driving his vehicles, and most likely, staying in his bunkhouse when you're not in camp.
In short, IT ROCKS! Those summer months, when you take people horseback riding? You're also tracking game movement, seeing where the big bears hang out, and getting paid to do it! I suggest you pack up your gear, move to Jackson Hole, Wyoming(right next to the national elk refuge) and get a bunk at the hostel across the street from the town square, and down the street from the million dollar cowboy bar about $20/night. Then, just get on the phone and start calling outfitters. They're DYING for die-hard hunters who want to guide you ought to find a job in about a week. And, right now, tourist season is going on. Half of those tourists are women who want a rugged mountain man - for a while. There's no angle here that sucks.
If I were still able, I'd still be doing it.What is a good wildlife job that has a decent wage?
Wildlife Conservation Officer better known as Game Warden...
Most jobs with wildlife require wildlife biology degrees or experience. You could look into being a park ranger, although I don't know what kind of wage that offers. I've never heard of a job which pays you to hunt - usually hunters have to pay for licenses and special taxes on equipment because that extra money goes towards protecting the local environment. Perhaps in an area where a particular animal is really overrunning things you could find a job hunting, but that would be hard to find and there would probably be a lot of competition for it.
Hope you have a masters degree in wildlife man.

Good luck, unless you consider $6 or $7 per hour a ';decent wage.';
Game Warden. It's like a policeman but they enforce Hunting/Fishing laws. Every state has them and to me it is a perfect job for an outdoorsman.
