No hostility against you; just be careful who you piss off bashing traditional bow hunters that take their guide with them. A guide isn't going to help a bowhunter do much except like I stated, provide a place to hunt, help with dressing the game, provide lodging, help with calling and setup locations etc. It is still archery and the odds are against the bowhunter. Use a guide for an archery elk hunt and the odds are still way against you. Only 20% of the bowhunters get their elk. To answer your question; my 1st year of deer hunting I only got one deer. That was the limit 30 years ago. Only in the last few years have bowhunters been allowed to harvest extra does in IA. I guess to have you bash a guy that hunts with a guide as he is not near the hunter you are does not sit well with me.
