The toughest hunt I ever went on (by far) was guided. Not that I had a choice. Smoke, You bought the dang hunt! So, there is that for having a choice... I suspect, you, like me, once or maybe three times have gotten yourself into some nasty pack outs with nobody to fault but ourselves for killing something we should have pretended we didn’t see... Grins. 😎

For Dall sheep, unless you're an AK resident you have to hire a guide. The only choice is to not hunt them.

That's a great idea. In fact, I want all my money back because we hunted on federal land and it shoul've been free......

Was it a draw or an OTC hunt?

OTC archery. Been open to mule deer forever. Same hunt that Randy did his 27 part video series.

OTC..
Drought, social media, sponsored hunts, and the like have about ruined my area of the state...
Congrats? But they just do it for the love of the hunt. But every commercial clip on the YouTube feed has 43 sponsers.
The last video series shows them all sitting water during our drought, which is the specific reason for the issue told by the AZGFD due to increased success rates and dink shooting to make a damn video...
Once restrictions are in place by a government entity it's rare to get them back....

Did non resident public hunting in western states even exist before Newberg, Rinella, BHA pimped it out on you tube and social media to lazy clueless urban hunters and while making a boat load of money on tax payer funded public resources? Oh, but without them hunting would be now dead
