Learn before you rush out there . I'd hate for you to go out and harvest an animal way too big for your experience only to be eaten alive by a bear halfway back while you resting .know the local laws and try to buddy hunt until you have more experience in less your wealthy then just pay a guide to hunt for you like so many other people who think there hunters . Not trying to be rude but a sguirell hardly prepares you , kinda like running before you walk, God bless n good luck , be safe
Hate to burst your bubble, but just because someone uses a guide doesn't mean they aren't a hunter. Some places need to be accessed by horseback because they are so remote for walkin access, which leaves renting one, and that's not too smart if you know nothing about taking care of one, or hiring a guide with horses and equipment to safely do the hunt. Furthermore, in case you aren't aware of it, there are certain animals in AK that require a guide, as well as all designated wilderness areas in Wyoming if you're a nonresident of that state. Making statements like you did is really not very good to put out on a hunting website since there are many ways to legally hunt and be a true hunter!
