I personally view "guided hunts" in the same light as high fence hunting (but not necessarily canned hunts). I am sure there is probably a difference, but I have my opinions like everyone here.
You have obviously never been on a guided hunt in the wilderness.There are absolutely no guarantees and unlikehigh fence hunting the animals can totally leave the area at any time.You don't stay in a comfortable lodge and you are at the mercy of mother nature.I have been on backpack "guided hunts"for bighorns and mountain goats and I am sure that these hunts in no way resembled high fence hunting.
