I guess I might feel that way if I was single. But when you have others that depend on you, it's a very wise idea to keep things as safe as possible for their sake if not for your own. Of course if I was more in tune with the area, scouted it, had the necessary equipment, could breathe in higher elevations just as I could atlow elevations, had wrangling experience, and decent survival skills, I'd do it myself also.

But all that stuff still isn't gonna keep me away from the hunt. And I feel it wise for myself to proceed with a guide and outfitter when wilderness hunting.
