Default Are u kidding me?

As usual this time of year I am thinking about where to go in 06 and started lookinginto when certain sportsman shows begin and just getting some ideas. I am just amazed at pricing for whitetail hunts; I think this one is the best I have found.
I have found an outfitter who may receive up to 12K for whitetails for ONLY 3 DAYS! Talk about your bargain. SAVE ME A SPOT THEIR PARTNER Let's see...that's $4000 per day...does that come with a hot dog? This one outfitter and I am not sure that's what you would call him, You pay by the size you shoot, I did not read on to see if it wasfair chaseor not I was too busy picking myself off the floor from laughing!! Now I realize this guy thinks he is special and I am sure "someone" will book with him but really who is nuts here the outfitter or the hunter who books it?
The price of Whitetail hunting is getting way out of hand. I know they have to earn a living and I know how tuff being a guide can be BUT really they (outfitters) are only as good as the hunters that can make the shot if & when opportunity should arise. Sure a good outfitter spends or should spend a lot of time a field getting ready for the next season and putting up with the public (hunters) is not always fun. But you know they picked that profession and are well aware of its faults. Sorry no sympathy here
I have gone on many hunts and really feel sorry for the guy who would like to do that "lifetime hunt". Now he needs a mortgage to make it come true!
How much is too much? What do you think its worth? Room, board and an opportunity to connect.
