I wasn't sure at first whether I wanted to touch this one or not, but I suppose I may as well. Just because one hunter spends more money on a bow than another doesn't necessarily mean he/she has an advantage. With the new technology we've come out with in recent years, the $300 bows are shooting just as well as the $800 bows. I'm not exactly sure that I'm seeing the connection you're trying to make anymore.
Now before someone jumps in with this argument, let me end it before it begins.
Your argument; "Just because one hunter spends $1000 - $5000 on a guided hunt doesn't mean he/she has an advantage."
My reply; Yes it does. The hunter spending loads of money on an outfitted hunt is generally, in most cases, spending top dollar to hunt land that has hada strict QDM program in place for many years. Strict antler point restrictions have been set up, food plots have been grown, antler size noted and monitored. You're spending lots of money to hunt land that has many trophy deer on it, not just the possibility of having one or two 'nice' deer on it.
