That is a tough one. The guy obviously has the place laid out well and has has personal success as well as his reputation. I think the issue you run into would be that he knows the area, produces results and ultimately feels that his rules and procedures help preserve the integrity of the area. I went on an Elk trip with the ex Father-In-Law and ran into the same philosophy and didn't get the animal I wanted, sure I got a decent 5x4 but I wanted a shot at a better animal.

Have you discussed it with him and raised your concern that you have seen great deer when they are in lunch and shower mode? I know I voiced my concern and the guide service we used in CO allowed us to hunt cows without the guide a couple of days. If he says no then you have a decision to make, do you hunt the way you want or trust his tecniques? I for one would rather get a lease somewhere and hunt my way but then again I have only been on one guided hunt and didn't walk away satisfied.
