I hunt on leased land (ground blind) and do it all myself. I went on a hunt in Wyoming years ago and after the owner showed us where we could hunt (800 acres) I did it on my own (and got a muley buck). For elk or something I'm not familiar with I could see a guide but it can't be fenced in land and must be fair chase. And I hunt with rifle. I want a quick, humane kill. Bowhunting is popular but I (personally) don't want the animal to have to bleed to death before it dies. The shock effect of a bullet and the huge internal damage (from a proper caliber) is usually quick. This is just my opinions and I know many look at it differently which is fine.
