You all really think it is outfitters that are ruining this sport? You realize that without hunters they can't exist right? So, if hunting is being ruined, which I really don't think it is, then it would ultimately be the hunters who are at fault. Outfitters do nothing but offer a service.

Sure outfitters may have "forced" some of you off of lands that weren't yours anyway, but they also make it possible to hunt things like muskox, caribou in the northern reaches, etc.

Plus, if you think that the average outfitter is just rolling in money you are kidding yourself. Do you have any idea the expenses of setting up camps 150 miles from the nearest town? How about bringing horses to the remote parts of the Yukon or British Columbia? It is a crazy business and a lot of these guys really bust their hump.

Lastly, in Illinois, if it wasn't for the outfitters, your state would be a joke right now due to the horrible management that the state DNR has done. It has been the outfitters and private land owners keeping that state in the topslot for B&C whitetails.
