RE: Guide Use
To me a guide would not just take me to a place, set me up on an animal so I could kill it. He would be a source of incredible knowledge that, in the evenings while not hunting, I would ask many questions and try and learn as much as possible. A guided hunt would be a chance to increase my knowledge, not just take game. I have never been on a guided hunt and maybe guides do not want to tell tips and secrets, I don't know, but I would think they would be more than happy to share their knowledge with a fellow hunter and hunting enthusiast.
