RE: What is your view on Outfitters?
Places like Canada and Alaska where you're required to have an outfitter/guide... well it's the law and probably a good thing.
It's a Monopoly, Caribou hunting is on it's way to Guided only as well, we went on a bou hunt paid for the camp, boats, camp tenders, and hunted on our own. Too many Trophy hunters are shooting bulls to ground check, too small and leaving them lay to go after a bigger bull. This is why a required guide will soon be the law. And most of us won't go because of the price increase. A few always screw it up for the rest. I can still go Mule deer hunting in Wy. no guide for around $600.( most of that is gas),and have a chance and a Big Buck.
