Guides, really?

[deaner]

as far as jayfires comments go, i agree for myself, that is not my thing.  but maybe youll sing a different tune when youre 80 years old and incontinent and want to get one last decent mature buck / bull?  maybe i will sing a different tune myself at that point.  if a fit young person pays for that they have no bragging rights, but not everybody is fit and young.  i know, for myself, if i live 50 more years i wont be hunting the deep dark nasty *censored*.  but i may still want one last trophy before i die.

and for the record, in the context youre using, its "their" not "there"

Michelle...  I think you misinterpreted my post. Not at all trying to say how you or anyone else should hunt. If its legal I don't care.

Now that's funny!!! 
You need to find the apostrophe feature on your phone so you can complete the misuse of the word youre when trying to correct one's use of the word there.  Let alone all the rest of the punctuation issues you tossed out.   

If someone wants to pay the bucks, have a good time.  Do your homework.  If your satisfied with the bang for the buck then enjoy the hunt.

[6x6in6]

yes, i willingly and admittedly disregard punctuation.  but you still used YOUR instead or YOURE

its  YOU'RE satisfied not YOUR satisfied.. i disregard punctuation to make my typing faster.  you use the incorrect version of the word due to borderline illiteracy

Good catch.  That one was done just for you to see if your paying attention.   
Why use all the comma's then?   

[deaner]

well i think my drunk ass incorrectly corrected you.  i deleted my post.  but now you did it for sure!  and i use lots of commas to break up my rambling sentences.  hitting a comma is fast and doesnt interrupt my train of thought.  give a drunk guy a break damnit!

wait, i did catch a mistake, in the last sentence.  damnit.

*censored* youre in bellingham, do you know a derek or a blake or a neil, if youre a duck hunter?  seems like everybody there is a duck hunter

I ain't exactly sober myself.

None of them.

I pretty much gave up waterfowl years ago.   Took too many to fill the freezer. 
Elk fills it quicker and tastes better.

To each their own.

Some don't like baiting.

Some don't think you shoot shoot a Tom you didn't call in.

Some think high powered rifles aren't sporting.

Some swear lighted nocks are evil.

Exactly.

Some can't apparently find enough things to complain about.

yes michelle you are correct, that is a totally different story i really loved watching the episode of tred barta where he wanted to get his first mtn lion, the guides were so cool they carried his wheelchair like 300 yards to where the dogs treed it, took him a bit to get his bearings but he got it sighted and took it archery, was really a great episode, he almost fell out of his wheelchair several times over the terrain and didnt think he could make the trip but they made sure of it, now THOSE guides i respect they went so far beyond thier duty to see him succeed  guides who help the handicapped are amazing  i actually talked to a guy last year whos in his 70's who can no longer get out well, and he wants to get a elk bad, i offered to help him this year if he needs, i hope he calls it would be an honer 

My ultimate dream in life, if I ever won the lottery I would go to guiding school, buy some huge azz property with wildlife abound and guide only those with disabilities and underprivileged. I've called in elk before for someone and the feeling is almost as good as killing the elk yourself. I can't imagine how rewarding it would be to help those who need just a bit more.

People hire guides for different reasons and there are many guides who cater to a specific type of hunt. As Michelle so eloquently stated, there are people with physical disabilities which prevent them from a back country hunt, or even a hike up a trail. There are businessmen from Portland or Seattle who want to shoot an animal on a Saturday morning and be back in bed by Saturday night. Then there are those who want to hunt from a drop camp 20 miles from a road or hike up a ridge and hunt where no one else will go. What's important is that when someone pays for a guide, they hire the correct guide for that which they wish to accomplish. If someone thinks that driving to a blind, sitting over a pile of apples, and shooting a raghorn bull (or even a nice mature bull) with a croissant and a latte next to them is hunting and they do it legally and ethically, who am I to dis them just because it's not my thing? The fact that they buy a license, a gun, ammo, and further stimulate the outdoor economy by hiring a guide means they're deserving of acceptance by the rest of the hunting community.

I have to respectfully disagree with the OP on this one. I have no problem with anyone hunting legally and ethically, using whatever means they want to employ. Let's not pick which legal hunters to support while the antis choose all of us to oppose.
