I'm sorry, but when I hear that someone went on a "guided" hunt, or one through a big outfitter -- it definitely lessens the accomplishment in my eyes.

Now, there's a difference in leasing land to be scouted and hunted through your own efforts, IMO. Am I somewhat jealous of those who can afford huge tracts of primo land holding monster whitetails or whatever quarry the hunter pursues? You betcha. But if he does the work himself, it's still a great accomplishment in my eyes.
