This will be my 38th year hunting big game. I've hunted on State, Federal and private land. I'll gone into the Lee_Metcalfe with two friends and rooted out elk. Ditto the Clearwater National Forest and the Allagash in Maine. I've swatted bugs in North Carolina in a treestand during September. I've also sat in a treestand next to a barn not sixty yards from a farm house with a bow in my hands.
I've been guided and I've done it myself. Not once, under any of these circumstances, did I ever think that I wasn't hunting by the rules of fair chase. The claim that hunting with guides is hunting is poppy-cock.
