I hunt quite a bit with relatives and friends in several states. When I can I get over the counter tags. If not avaiklable I often go as camp cook. In these cases I just go for the time offf and relaxing. I have hunted elk many times with an outfitterin Sask with whom I have hunted for 27 years almost every year. A few years were just fishing and a few for just hunting. Many times for both.
