Maybe we can put speculation to rest and I know it's going to get negative responses but oh well.  I'm a "hunter", I love getting in the mts. hours before shooting light and patiently listening and waiting to stalk my prey though at times I took opportunities when they presented themselves my passion is getting out on foot and stalking my prey.  I've hunted with members on here and as you do I've made numerous attempts to assist with their tags being notched. 

Just like you it's the passion, so how about we meet up one day and we can accompany one another on a hunt for the elusive big bull?

East Cascades!

Luke you are gonna be alright. Love me some East Cascades bulls.

Just so you know, I'm not serious I just wanted to see if anybody would flame the idea.  I don't know the whole story and I've read both sides and if you have the passion and are doing things legitimately then so be it.  It doesn't bother me a whole lot as long as rules are being followed.  Best of luck to you and your future endeavors.

I'm not the average guide (someone that assistance others in harvesting there trophy big game animal) that works for something in return? I'm also not your average guide (someone that assistance others in harvesting there trophy big game animal) when I assistance "clients" friends of friends of friends of friends and ask for nothing in return. Accept maybe a thank you for your help! I don't want to be your average guide (someone that assistance others in harvesting there trophy big game animal). If you are so optimistic about my services draw your tag of a lifetime and then give me a call. Then you will see how hard I will work for you to harvest your trophy and ask for nothing. Sorry it is hard for you guys to believe that I do what I do. But I don't like being the average guy. I always go above and beyond and push myself to the absolute limits and then push even harder.

That's great, you should consider doing it outside of the wilderness area that an outfitter already has the permit for so you can be compensated. There is plenty of private and state land you could do it on. There is a reason there is only one outfitter permitted in an area. No one wants overcrowding in an area they spend hours to get to. Those people you assist would never been able to get that deep and have no business in there if they arent capable.

For the record you still have yet to answer many questions. I get you want to do it for free. You like it we heard that. Why advertise? If its for friends there should never be a need to advertise. If one of my friends called me a client I'd be irritated. I'd rather be called a buddy or hunting partner.

If he is advertising and referring to "friends" as "clients"...not buying it.    Sometimes when it walks like a duck, talks like a duck...it is a duck.

This is laughable for sure.
Guide..................Client.......................not really.......................or maybe................?

[Easy-E]

I'm curious.

Are there different requirements for "guide" versus "outfitter"?

Are these legally defined somewhere?

And are these permits a Federal permit (National Forest) or a state permit? Or both?

And who enforces this stuff when there is a complaint?

Sounds to me like you were a "buddy" but you didn't have his number. The advertising throws me here, I don't understand it.

Interesting thread.   These are pretty valid questions.   I need to look at stuff a little more before I come to any conclusions, but from what I have seen, I can see why Mtn Cook might be a little bit upset.  I know several others that have gotten by the "guiding rules" and I have never thought much about it.

Luke Carrick, recently began a new business as a guide in Washington (Guiderite Adventures). Here are some pics of his first happy client

I gotta admit, this sounds nothing like helping a friend hunt...

[Nailed it]

Keep up the good work Luke, looks like some guys on here are scared of you. I'd hunt with you anytime
