RE: Where do you draw the line??
As some of you know I have hunted Canada a couple of times. I had always wanted to hunt in a place that had mutliple species of big game. I did use an outfitter and a guide because it is required in Canada if your not a citizan plus when your on only a 6 day hunting trip itmakes ittuff to scout an area you have never been in ..put up stands and have a decent chance of seeing a shooter buck. You just can not put a price on the total experience when you see the beauty of a country you have never been in ..see game in the wild that you would never see from where Im from ... I did want to make it as challaging as I could with a rifle so I hunted with a Thompson Encore 7mm08 ... I had thought about taking a muzzleloader but found it was a hassle because you can not take black powder on the airlines ... but I will never forget the experiences I had and the people I met ... I see nothing wrong with these kind of hunts.
