bigassbull or Beau Olsen is not the guy we are talking about here.  Beau is working the adjoining unit to mine and had some hunters this season. This business is hard to get started in so don't confuse the Permitted ones with the rogues.

Thanks for clarifying.

The ROUGUE guide you are talking about is a good friend of mine. He doesn't charge people a dime, he just loves hunting. He's been trying to get his hands a license for that area but he's smart about it and is getting his name out there while he waits for a permit. I heard what you had to say to him when you crossed paths with that outdoor writer. If you guys wanna know the truth read what the article says when it comes out. Very unprofessional way to treat someone when you assume that they're breaking the law!

quote author=mtncook link=topic=138741.msg1847280#msg1847280 date=1383766274]
He knows how to coach the hunters in what to say.  I can't understand how he can drive here from Yakima almost every weekend, and not be compensated for his service.  He has a real interest in the area.  Turning him in is one thing catching him another. I met him on the trail walking with a bear hunter from Utah. The hunter is an outdoor writer. I told them to include in the article that this guy was a rogue guide working in my unit.  The facial expression changed on the hunters face.

I have no horse in this race but I will say that my dealings with Mtncook this year were straight up and the way it should be from a man to man and a legal perspective.

Jm unless I am wrong there is no way that your friend Will ever get a permit to guide  there as long as Mtcook holds the permit from the usfs.
Maybe he should start applying somewhere else.   Just my  :twocents:
What magazine does this writer look for so I can read what this article says?

I know a couple outfitters that this happens to every year.  With these rouge guides. This is why I feel the state/usfs should make all guides be licensed and controlled . If you are caught advertising/ guiding in a area you don't have a license for then you are fined heavily
If its brown knock it down

I don't have a horse in this either but it does seem weird to me that this "rogue" guide is soliciting multiple people at trailheads, taking out magazine writers, and packing meat for people all for no charge and all for nothing more than the love of the game. God bless him if he really is, but it seems off to me.
How many people did he (not) guide in there this year?

Well I can say one thing from personal dealings with mtncook. He is the real deal and what he says is no BS. My family member did a drop camp with him and everything Dave said he followed through with. He is a no BS kinda guy. He runs a great operation and is a top notch outfitter. I would recommend him to any one.

It does happen. I caught a boat load of crap from Norsepeak on here a couple seasons back.  Some of us just want to help others and be in the woods...  I say good on the guy if he is not breaking the law..
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

What you do up there and what this guy is rumored to be doing in the Blues is apples and oranges.

Know nothing about his actions other than this thread.  Mtncook seems to think he is doing more than HELPING. I will take his word on that. If so thats a very very bad deal and I would be pissed!

If he's not charging then I see no harm. I know of guys that will help pack anyone with an elk just because they love being out there. Needing a permit to hunt big bulls they go just to be there when someone drops a big bull.

There land?  It's PUBLIC LAND, they might have the permit to guide, but have no right treating everyday people that are in there like they are trespassing!  (Speaking from experience over the years)
