apply everywhere, draw the tag and go get it done. It's certainly possible. If you draw a wilderness unit where a guide is required, make a post looking for a local to tag along with, have him get his license which is like $20 to register and DIY, or just DIY, I read somewhere about people having a problem with guides required for non-residents, I kinda have to agree, do it at your own risk....I thinks hould be the headline, not guide required. Too many laws in this country.
