As Huckeye Charters LLC continues to grow we are considering adding 1 to 2 more guides to our organization! We have 2 potential employment opportunities for either an experienced waterfowl guide wanting to guide in Ohio or an experienced waterfowl hunter interested in learning the ropes of guiding and becoming an accomplished Huckeye Charters guide. This is seasonal work beginning October 10 — late January when waterfowl season ends. Guides will have the opportunity to stay on and run walleye, perch and goose trips all spring, summer and early fall.
Whether you are looking to join our team as an Experienced Guide or an Apprentice Guide, passion is a must. You must be passionate and absolutely love all the things that go into making a waterfowl hunt or walleye trip fun, safe, and productive.
Trip windows you'll be running: AM 6:00–11:00 or PM 1:00–5:00 (5 hours AM / 4 hours PM, or until limit reached — whichever comes first). Multiple trips per day during peak season.
To join the team as an Experienced Lake Erie Waterfowl Guide you must have a minimum of 3 years guiding experience and a valid captain license with 5 years of waterfowl hunting experience. You must be a good people person and understand how to work with customers from all walks of life. You should have a good understanding of the guide industry and be willing to work long, hard hours in order to provide the best experience for our clients. You must be a good team player and be willing to help other team members around you. Should be a self-motivator and not need to be told what to do but rather looks for things that need to be done. You should be an experienced waterfowl hunter and be an above-average duck and goose caller. Understand the nuances of duck & goose calling, setting up of decoys and reading birds. You must also know how to properly brush blinds and conceal your hide whether you are hunting out of the boat or on shore. Late-season hunt will take place in dry fields and you will be responsible for finding feeds and locking them down! You must be comfortable driving a vessel safely in large Lake Erie waves, including breaking ice and opening up ramps. Base pay commensurate with experience.
To join the team as an Apprentice Ohio Waterfowl Guide you must have a minimum of 5 years of waterfowl hunting experience. You should be an accomplished duck caller and understand how to brush blinds and conceal your hide. You must be a good team player and be willing to provide assistance to other guides in whatever capacity is needed. As an apprentice guide, you will be learning for most of your first season. Your guiding opportunities will be limited until you have obtained your captain's license. You must also be a good people person and understand how to work with customers from all walks of life. You should also be willing to work long, hard hours assisting other Huckeye Charters guides in order to provide the best experience for our clients. We are looking for someone who is a self-motivator and willing to learn and accept direction as needed.
Both positions require reliable transportation capable of towing our boats. 4-wheel drive is strongly recommended. You will be provided a company fuel card for both the boat and your vehicle while using it to scout and transport our boat to and from the lake. All positions are subject to background checks and drug testing (mandatory to be in a random drug-screening pool as long as you have an active captain's license). So if you know you will fail either a background check or drug test, no need to apply for a position.
