I guess let me change the scenario alittle. I can understand going and using an outfitter to hunt something that you wouldn't have the oppurtunity in your own area like bear or elk. I was just worried that if i use a guide to hunt whitetail and shoot one, that i am not going to get the same sense of accomplishment i would if i did it on my own. I'm not knocking people for using outfitters because it still takes a special skill to put a lethal shot on an animal, I just feel like i would be missing out on all the other stuff.
