RE: Outfitters? Worth It?
Is it worth it...yes, but only if you're not going into debt to go or stealing food out of you kid's mouths. If you can save up and get with the right outfitter, then it is one of the best times you'll have hunting. I've gone with the same outfitter for four years now and have formed some really strong bonds. It's pricey, but I justify it with hard work, luck inbusinessand just prioritizing my extra spending money for the year. Talk to people who have gone with them and talk to them on the phone personally.
I will continue to hunt with my guys until I can't afford to do so. They are like family...they cost a bunch but you still love them. Not to mention, the opportunity to expand your season for those of us who have a one buck limit. They've helped me take some really nice deer. Best of luck.
