I believe they can. I have seen some shows where the guide just tells the person the stand sites, lets the hunter pick the one he wants, drops him off, then comes back each night to pick him up, but I have seen guided hunt shows like the one you described. I do think that it is a little much.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)
