dale06 is giving good advice. If you choose to self guide you will spend a lot of time trying to find places to shoot, you can spend a lot of time and money trying to find a spot on your own unless you are very lucky. Google can be your friend - try googling PD hunts or PD outfitters in the various states, some of them offer a low budget shoot where they just show you the field and don't stay with you all day. Getting some reviews from past customers would be a good idea if you are going to use a guide.
I generally do not go until around the first of June, I have been rained out too many times in late May.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
