That would be the hunt that I would want.Take me out to the wilderness and let me scout the area that I am to hunt.I wouldn't care if my guide knew nothing about the area to hunt,as long as it was my hunt.
Yankee I hunt in Alberta Canada at times and you HAVE to hunt through an outfitter and with a guide if you are a non resident ... and I can assure you that hunting in the vast Canadian bush in sub freezing conditions is no "canned" hunt ... I can also assure you that if you have to pay the kind of money it takes to get to hunt a place like Alberta and only have 6 or 7 days you will care wether or not your guide knows the area he has selected for you to hunt ... my first trip to Canada I spent 66 hours (6 days 11hrs per day)in the "box" several days in sub zero conditions and never got a shot ...yep it was at about that point I was questioning myselfif MY guide had a clue .....
