Since your not going until may, why not start asking the above questions (about meat preservation, food lists, baiting, etc) to see what will be done for you and to what extent. from there, ask yourself 'if i were the one doing this for hunter joe and he's paying me X$, what would I like?'

If you think your hard work is only worth $10, thats your answer. But if you think you'd be worth $1000, there ya go.
