Royal tine is located in the heart of prime recreation country in Western Montana. We offer classes from 5 weeks to 4 days in length. Our 4 and 5 week guide and packer classes offer you all the skills needed to become a big game guide and work for a Western outfitter or simply just learn the skills to pack in with horses and mules for a DIY hunt. Job placement available. We also offer 2 and 4 week camp cook classes and 4 day fly fishing and outdoor cooking education vacations. Guide your life - it all starts at Royal Tine!
