I'm not trying to pee on anyone's cornflakes..but you asked!

No I don't view an outfitters P&Y and a do it yourself P&Y the same way. A do it yourself hunt is much more of an accomplishment in my book. Like someone else has mentioned that doesn't mean I wouldn't go and yadda yadda yadda..But when someone comes on the board bragging of a Guided hunt where they got a big buck I say congrats. When they drone on about the kill and the video or the magazine articles I quit reading.

Now, if you kill a Monster on your own, scouted, placed stands, hunted certain conditions or winds and layed off when you had too..I'll read every tidbit, you post!
