I was wondering if there is anyone here that can point me in the right direction and give me more info on how to become a Professional Hunter? It has always been a dream of mine to travel the world, hunt the globe, and become a Professional Hunter. There is one big thing I am a citizen of the US and I know that can make it harder and longer to acquirer but I have heard of other US citizens doing it and just want to know is where do I start and what do I need. Any info will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
 
If you search this site you will find it has been covered here before. Its do-able but it wont be easy. I think most of us have given the idea some thought at some point but like many things in life I suspect the dream is much different from the reality. I spent some time back in the '70's working as a packer, apprentice guide and wrangler in an Idaho elk camp, after attending a guide school in Montana. Great experience that I would NOT trade for anything but after a couple of years the glamour wore off and I didnt pursue it further. Good luck!!

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
