Cherokee you give the impression of a good guide and would not hesitate to book with you. Maybe one day we can hook up.
You know what would solve all of this? Find a guide you TRUST and hire him for the week..period.

I have done the math for a couple of Canadian Guides and unless I missed something those boys are making a Good Living..no were near what you are talking about. There overhead is there trucks, hired help($150/day) and camp cook.
$4000 per hunter 8 per week/ 3 or 4 weeks long then they do Bear hunts & Moose hunts. Not bad numbers?
