I've had 9 elk seasons of great experiences and never kilt an elk yet. I did call a few bulls in slobberin close, and passed on other elk for different reasons. So I know I can find and call bulls and can hunt. I had great experiences mostly by myself as I ten to be a lonewolf( NO idea why, I guess folks just dont like me). I dont regret not having funds to pay a guide...plus I DID IT ON PUBLIC LAND, AND I DID IT MY WAY.
