I am thinking its going to have to be guided, i have never had the opportunity to hunt out west so backpacking in and camping out for a week or more is something i would want someone to show me the ropes before i went out on my own. I looked online a bit and saw like some of you have mentioned that you can hunt both at the same time in certain parts of the country ( i was looking at montana). Guess i got to make some decisions and start the wheels in motion. Thanks for your thoughts.
