This "debate' will go on until the end of time. Those who have experienced "both" sides of the fence & at facilities of a size like 1000 + acres have a different view than those who have never experienced such (Usually). In our ranks (hunters) we have many that think we sholuld not use guns or a compound & crossbows ect..
Everthing has it's "place" in the outdoor hunting community.
I know hunters that would never use a guide for "anything" & consider DIY the only way. I've been blessed to have done HF, hundreds of DIY Public land & several guided Bowhunts & ALL have been a great, enjoyable experience. I also feel that these HF operations that have helped in preventing "a animal" from becoming extict has done something worth while.
Personally, I feel those using food plots & game cameras to track & give NAMES their quarry are no more sporting than those who think HF is "taboo".. BUT, if it's legal it is the beauty of being in the good ol USA, OUR CHOICE...
