It isn't always that easy. A lot of outfitters have it setup that they pay there guides X dollars per gun when they take guys out. Alot of times that isn't feasible nor can the guide justify taking out one client when all the costs are figured in would barely cover the price of fuel. I use guide services at times when I am traveling to a new area and don't know it as it can help you get onto animals much faster and a lot of times actually cheaper then trying to do it yourself.
