I don't think I would ever spend the money on having someone else pack it out for me like and out fitter when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself. (It just might be painfull he next day, and take a while) I just won't shoot it near a dead fall or down a long hill and cross my fingers. I would however spend the money on a guided fishing trip, that would be far more worth while. I have just seen too many stupid people on the guided hunting trips and I like to separate myself from idiots with guns as much as possible. Besides my mom would shoot me if I gave away her hunting spot to an outfitter. She can been muzzleloading that day after thanksgiving here for 5 years and gotten her pick of 50 elk either her first or second day every time. But thanks for the advice.
