We went up North of buyck a few years ago on a DIY and it was fun. But by the time we set our baits and waited for the to get hit, we had been there 7 days and cost was as much as if we were to use a guide and have pre baited sites.
It comes with expierence just like anything else. You don't learn anything by not trying. Some years guides don't always do well either. This last fall bear hunting was a tough one In Mn. Not to many groups did all that well, Including the guides.
