Title: Guided Bow Hunts
Post by: seansfire on September 08, 2012, 08:49:48 PM: Just wondered if anyone could recommend a guide on the west side and maybe tell me what kind of cost is involved in going on a guided hunt and also what kind of sucess rate there is with guided hunts. Thanks.

I have been trying hard to get out and scout and hunt but due to major issues in my life and a lack of time due to them i really want to get out there and get my first animal with my 4 year old bow. LOL.

I would take that money out of state. I would give Bearpaw on here a call. He can and will hook you up. Also since the season has already startsd it is gonna be tough to find someone not booked up. If I was you I would book an out of state hunt for next year.

Now if I drew a special permit in this state on the east side and didn't have time to scout for it I wouldn't hesitate to spend money on a guide like Norsepeak or mtncook.

Hit up whatever land that you can, I have gone out 6 times and have not gone a day without seeing a couple of deer each day.
