Greg, I've had the same experience too many times to remember. As a result I am both getting to be something of a PITA client--and also prefering to hunt on my own, right here in Montana. (Though the last may just be a result of getting older, and less find fond of airplanes.)
I don't think this know-it-all attitude is specific to any certain culture--except that of "expert" hunting guides. Most think they know everything about shooting, even with limited experience. (Gee, something like the Internet?)
