I hunt huge public land in Idaho, so I have never had a problem with any outfitter I've met. The state is divided up for the outfitters, so they do the best that they can on what land they have to work. The outfitter that has the area that I hunt in is more than helpful with information and knowledge is abundant and freely given because he realizes that my bowhunting is not going to impede on his business by taking too many animals (only one elk allowed per year)or crowding his clients out. Just my two cents.
