I’ve guided some. I know the new to the area guide thing happens and I would not be happy about it. I usually tell people that’s one of the questions they should be asking. Sometimes guides aren’t assigned until everyone is in camp, but you should still expect to have guides familiar with the area. Although you’ll always have newer and older guides.
Your complaints about guarantees are unrealistic, even for private ranch hunts. At least in most of the west. I’ve guided on a big private ranch that you really can’t tell the difference between it and the designated wilderness area adjacent to it. No guarantees there either.
