What I don't get is why some people apparently look down on guided hunts and hunters--even some people who are guides.
Makes them feel superior,and magnifies their own accomplishments.A/k/a "ego".
Much of the din comes from Up North and Out West.If you live and hunt in the Great Western States,and aren't filling freezers and hanging racks on the wall, you're not trying very hard.
They like DIY? I got one for them. Come back east and go whitetail hunting north of Bangor, DIY.
I give them 5 years.If they
see a whitetail buck in the 140 range they can stop by on the way back and I'll pay for dinner.And not at a cheap place either.
If they
kill two in that time frame (2 because anyone can get "lucky")....I'll pay for the hunt.
My money is safe.
