The Rich are not going to ruining your chance to take an animal, it's the lazy.

Sorry guys, but gone are the days when you could drive around, drink beer, and shoot a deer then throw him in the pickup truck and drive home. Frankly, why would you want to do that anyway? Where is the fun.


There is plenty of game on public land IF you are ready to work your ass off. I get animals every year, and it doesn't matter if it's in Colorado or Alaska. I will be successful. Why? Simple, I work hard for the game. I train, research, and have good and appropriate gear to get back from the roads where the game tends to hange once it's been pushed. Times have changed and if you want to get into animals, you better change too. You don't need a string of horses and wall tents (nice to have though), you DO need a good external frame packpack and some Meindl boots though.

Guided hunts make it easier for YOU. You don't have to research your area, you don't have to research and pick your gear, and you usually don't have to walk in a long ways or pack out your own meat.

There is lots of opportunity. If you are too lazy to get off of your 4-wheeler or your truck to take advantage, it's nobody's fault but your own.
