6 yrs no elk. 6 yrs no mulies. But then I did it all by myself. No help, no friends, no guide. Weeks alone in the high country. I may forget my first two wives, but Ill never forget the mtns.

A guide may be a greeat help to a no luck guy like me.

As long as he didnt say 'now theres an elk, ok its legal, ok now load your big gun, ok now look thru your 2900.00 Swarovskis scope and shoot, ok now shoot again, ok now unload your gun, ok now put one foot in front of the other and walk to your guaranteed kill' like they do on the TV shows.

My take on it all is the guides and outfitters provide 'access' to places us ol folks osmetuimes just cant get to or arent allowed to.

Good luck.
