Sad thing is that PPL like me, who live in the middle of nowhere have no choice but to get quides if we ever want to hunt/kill a moose, elk, carrabou, bear, or anything other than whitetail or hogs. I personally have no clue what so ever a elk likes/dislikes. I have never seen one other than on TV. I would love nothing more than to take one of those great beast, but the cost for guides and "price per point" is WAY over what i have to spend. I would love to be able to get out and hunt open land to take nice game. I just dont know where to start, someone like yourself does. How will i ever learn if ppl like you are not there to teach me basics in gettin the job done. Even if you do charge a arm and a leg....and another arm to do it.
