You know I have been two Canada and several states hunting. I used to complain about hunt costs. But I started doing some figureing. These guides/outfitters are not making much money. I bet when its said and done, they make a lot less than people on this board. I went with the same guide in Newfoundland a few times, and let me tell ya, that guy lives in a shack, and drives a piece of crap. He barely has money to get a decent pair of binocs.
You got to ask yourself if that guide really deserves so much less money than you make.
