I can't drum up much sympathy for the guides. As a CO resident I've never needed a guide. They depend on non-residents to stay in business and many guides would love to see tags taken from residents that don't use their services and have those tags issued to non-residents. One of the biggest issues facing hunting today is the commercialization of it.

Point creep is something I don't think they ever dreamed of. I'm sitting on 21 elk points and I still haven't been able to draw my unit 2 either sex (bull tag). I'll get it eventually. I'm also sitting on lots of points for everything except pronghorn since I drew a buck tag last year. But, how do you fix the point creep? You can't penalize guys like me that have played the game according to the rules they put in place!
