Its all in what you want out of a hunt. I hunt public land, camp there, walk to my game, pull it out byhand and every head I have ever taken is a trophy. Nope, only one comes close to a "book" head, but everyone is MY trophy.

Theoly reason I would like to try a "trophy guided big dollar hunt" is to say I did it once. Other than that, I have better things to do with my money.

I hear people talk about competition in the woods for game, believe me there is no competition there except in yourself. If you really need to put yourself against someone else, just look at the statistics in success for everyone. If your not at the average, you learn to get better or quit.

Thepart of hunting I really enjoy, is that no matter how hard I try, how deep I go, no matter what shot or bullet, I always, ALWAYS feel like luck was for me when I succeed. There are no guarantees, its life at the most basic test you can find.
