Look towards the bottom.

I didn't read the whole thing. Did you ever ask him if you could hunt all day?

Also, a mid day break and some good chow in your belly could keep you sharp and rested. I understand you wanting to get the most bang for your buck. He is successful and has a system that works. If you have faith in his ability maybe you should just go with the flow and enjoy the hunt. Mid day break and all.

I have a tendancy to push myself way too hard during hunting season. From what I know of you I'll bet you do the same.Having someone to slow you down a little might be a good thing.

I have always been told to never guide the guide. You admit he knows his area, that he is known as being the man for big bucks in his area, and that proof of his success is lined on his walls. Why in the world would you doubt this guy? I understand where you are coming from and I believe the same as you. The only difference is, I am hunting (and I am sure you are at home as well) a very small area compared to what this guy has available to him. Look at it this way, moving locations will allow you to hunt more of a massive amount of land. What if the area you start out in the morning is a non producer. Do you really want to sit there all day then? Listen to the guide, he is still in business for a reason!

That's interesting Dan. That's his way of thinning his "client herd" I guess. That's fine by me.LikeI said, he's never had trouble getting hunters up there.

Magic, I'll look in to it when I get up there. I won't pushthe issuethough. Even though I'd prefer to sit all day, I'll hunt the way he want's me to hunt. And yes, I won't lie, it is nice to get a good hot meal in your belly after sitting in the COLD all morning. No matter what, I"M PUMPED!!!!

I never, even once, said anything aboutdoubting this man. Ever! I agree with everything else you've said though.
