RE: Hunters respect with the outfitter equation added in...
How is an outfitted hunt any different from a person that owns a large tract of land that is crawling with big bucks? On the outfitted hunt, you have a very short window to make it happen, where very small things can break the whole deal. You get a week where the weather is bad, your outfitted hunt just became an exercise in sitting still. Just because you are with an outfitter, doesn't guarantee the kill. Most bowhunting outfits aren't much higher than 50% success rate. Anyone who shoots a P&Y deer has my respect, I don't really care if it was outfitted or not. The question almost sounds like the deer are supposed to know they are on the property of an outfitter and therefore are easier to kill. If it was that easy, you would see 100% success rates and all of them would be book deer.
