'd be tough...
How have you been, John? Been kind of rough for the past 7 months or so, but things are looking better on the whole. I'll give you a call sometime in the next couple of weeks! John

Are you sure that Carl could cope with the rigors of squirrel hunting in the remote north of Indiana? After watching him schlep up the Tyrolean Alps this week, I think he just might be able to successfully negotiate the Wabash Valley. Naturally, we'll have to take lots of rest breaks, and he'll have to make due with PBR in place of schnapps... FC

So that Carl truly appreciates this "golden nectar", make sure that he knows it contains both rice and corn. Germans have had laws against that sort of thing in beer for hundreds of years... John

I have tried to get Ready to swap me a Dall sheep hunt in the Talkeetnas for a guided pack string squirrel hunt in Northern Indiana. So far, he hasn't bitten.

I traded a WT hunt in South Texas for a private land Mule Deer hunt in SW Colorado in 1998. We had lots of very nice WT's to hunt but the mule deer were nowhere to be found. Never again

I'm pretty sure that if I invite a guy from back east out here to go on an elk hunt with me, and he lets me hunt whitetails on his place back there, neither one of us is "in the business." That depends entirely on how your state regulates such things. In AK it would ABSOLUTELY be considered guiding.

I have participated in several swap hunts. Results have varied from great to miserable. It's important to ask very exact questions, such as:
Do you have any serious chronic illnesses?
Do you know the difference between a backpack and a daypack?
Are you committed to be in good cardio/pulmonary condition before coming to hunt in Colorado?
Can we count on you to do your part of the work and camp chores, pay your part of the cost?
Can we count on you keeping your word?
What are your goals in coming to hunt in Colorado?
I met two of my best hunting buddies on the Internet. One was a swap hunt, sixteen years ago. We still keep in touch and I just visited him again to take my grand-son on a Texas high-fence ram hunt. The other was for an Alaska hunt setup entirely among strangers. It was a great hunt and one of the guys is my best hunting buddy. I've hunted with him many times and will go on another Arizona Coues deer hunt in November .
KC
Great questions KC, and unfortunately, I'd fail miserably at answering these. Would be great to do this with one of our members sometimes, but I am the poster child of what negative answers to your questions would be. Bad heart, don't handle long hikes and physical exertion very well. I still hunt, but I have to go very slowly and be very careful about not over exerting my self. I think your questions are spot on and very fair to be asked.

Sad you would consider breaking laws as a regular course of action... And AK is one of only three states with F&G not enforcing the laws. AK State Troopers do it here. Oregon is the same way, and I believe CT is the third.

Your state's definition of guiding is ridiculous anyway. I have a friend coming from back east to hunt elk with me this year. I'll show him a few spots and he'll probably use some of my gear. Sad that a state government would want to horn its way in on that.

Is there a more concrete definition of "guiding" in Alaska's law books?
Say someone moves up there, from Texas...Several years later he invites an old friend up there to hunt caribou with him. The old friends also plan a deer hunt together back in Texas at a spot that the Texas resident has hunted, but the Alaskan transplant has not.
No money is exchanged...just two old friends going on two hunting trips together. Would that situation necissairly be considered guiding by Alaska laws?
