I'd love to add something worthwhile to this thread, but as long as guides charge the cost of a new pickup to hunt a single animal, I will need to keep reminding myself I'm a poor boy haha.
It would be a great experience just to talk with different guides and see what they would want me to bring to the hunt, whether it be a current rifle or a new one.
Definitely some real good info here from some extremely knowledgeable people!
They charge what has to be charged. Not because they are rich etc... FWIW. In all my years guiding has been the hardest work ever. Most fun. Pays a bit less than my best jobs. Ive enjoyed it off and over the years for sure.
As to what to bring, I'd bet most folks have something that will work. Especially since the notion you have to have 270 or 06 etc to kill a simple whitetail deer..
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
