Semi guided would be assistance to get gear in pack game nad gear out, basecamp set up with food etc. and general knowledge to where elk are and access to some good elk property. We wouldn't need a guide hauling us around in the woods calling us and putting us on the game telling us when to shoot. Its a cross between DIY and full guided. Lots of outfitters have this option just curious if others have had a chance to hunt with anyone specific they would recommend to take some of the guess work out of it.
