If you are confidant in the guide and you believe he knows his stuff and/or his results are proof positive that his method works,than do what he suggests.If you don't have confidence in him use another outfitter,or advise him of your concerns and talk to him about it.
It is easy to make a case either way.I have the same opinion you do though I would not want to leave the stand during the day.With a short hunt though you have to figure which stand or stands are hot pretty fast.
