i agree with the post above and still stand firm that one guide should not be allowed to monopolize an area everyone should petition to change that.just like anything else the good ones will make it and the others won't keep on doing what your doing luke.
If anyone is looking for an attorney I could use some clients. No charge. I don't have a liscence to practice but it will be on the house. Why would I do this you ask, well cause I like to argue.

I'd never hunted there before and provided little to the camp other than grunt labor. I couldn't have done it without his efforts, equipment, knowledge of the country, and stock. I didn't pay him anything other than my share of the costs of the trip.I would not be at all offended if he called me a client. I might as well of been one. I think its awesome that a guy who is passionate about hunting would volunteer his energy, time, and knowledge to help others take quality trophies with no expectation of compensation. If he's got a goal of eventually becoming a paid guide, why would anyone begrudge him calling them clients? In what I do, a number of circumstances can create clients that pay me nothing. They are no less clients than those that do pay me. If I had the time, resources and know how, I'd certainly take people on top quality hunts just to be a part of a great hunt every year. I take my kid and friends on great hunts every year and don't care if I pull the trigger nor do expect them to pay me anything. It wouldn't be a huge step to do it for a stranger. It's still a quality experience in life and you just can't draw a quality tag every year for your own hunt. For some of those special tags, you are only going to get one or two in a lifetime. How else could you be a part of those hunts every year unless you were willing to put yourself out like this guy does? Without proof that he's getting paid, bad mouthing this guy is just whiny slander coming from a bunch of people that think they know the only way to go through life. To heck with that myopic and selfish approach to life. You don't have to get paid for every nice thing you do for others. You don't have to have a tag to be a part of a great hunt. You don't have to have a previous friendship with somebody to have a great adventure with them. I'd say anybody that gets to hunt with this guy is lucky and worrying about whether you are called a client or not is a very ungratious way to accept this person's gift.Sometimes if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, its just a person immitating a duck and not a duck at all.*

As far as letting more than one outfitter in a area. I do not believe that will happen. Besides the traffic that it already gets. I would say that the number of harvest is greatly higher than normal With guided hunts and we all know they don't want that. . Pretty sure that would put a dent in the herd and management plan
