My brother was an elk guide in colorado, pack-in and camp, hunt down the elk.
Very hard work. That's a guided hunt.

i just dont think i could call a private prop. canned hunter guide, a real guide. i love hearing the stories of real guides in the mountains getting their people on animals, now thats a guide!Yeah I agree ,, A guided hunt should be an adventure ...not sitting on 10 pounds of apples or a feeder throwing corn all over the place :dunno: :chuckle: If I ever need a guide it will be for moose in Alaska ..other than that I can take care of myself ! Actually I would not mind going on a hunt with Bear paw but that would have to be something to do with his hounds ....Like cougar in Idaho or something :tup:

I see these thread a couple times a year that put down High fence hunting, hunting in a farm field, or hunting over bait. How it's not "sporting" and it's not a challenge.
Not everyone has the opportunity to get out and hunt like the majority of us.
I think we forget and take for granted our abilities to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

There are people that are not capable of doing it all by themselves. What about people in wheelchairs, that have major health problems, kids, or kids with disabilities. Even older people that just can't get around like they use to but still want to be as involved as they can with the meat they put in the freezer. Those that wouldn't be able to do it if they didn't sit in a blind in someones field over apples.

I see nothing wrong with sitting in a blind over a feedpile. It can be a very productive way to hunt, but it should not be the only way you hunt.
I read on here all the time, people complaining about another hunting group. Hunters complaining about Hound Hunters ruining there hunt when the dogs run through there set. Then suggesting limits on when they can run there dogs. Rifle hunters complaining about Archery hunters getting the best seasons. Archery hunters accusing Rifle Hunters about being lazy. It goes on and on and on.
So the question I have is why is any ONE group better than the other? This line of thinking is going to be what gets hunting shut down for all of us. There is no one to blame but ourselves but everyone wants to blame PETA and the Greenies.
Why do you think the animal rights people only target one hunting group at a time? Right now it's Trapping and Hound Hunting. It's because they know it's a small group of people. Because they know that Rifle Hunters, Archery Hunters, Muzzle loader hunters, Fisherman, Elk Hunters, Deer Hunters, Bear Hunters, Upland Bird Hunters, Small Game hunters, and Turkey Hunters are to self absorbed with there sport to come to the defense of the trappers or hound hunters.
Bear Baiting is already shut down. Probably never get it back. We probably could if everyone would pull together. Regardless if Bear Baiting is your cup of tea. It's about supporting the "HUNTING COMMUNITY".
Imo you should not be offering guided hunts if you have limited acreage, and that is your only option.
Why not? Where should the limit be drawn? It should be the guides responsibility to be honest with potential clients on how much land there is to hunt, what type of hunting will be done, and what the chances are. It is the Hunters responsibility to do there research on the person they want to pay to go hunting with.

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"
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. :chuckle:
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.

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. :chuckle:
Why use all the comma's then? :chuckle:

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!LOL!

I ain't exactly sober myself.
It's all good! :tup:

*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 hunterNone of them.
I'm a transplant to Whatcom County, 8 years ago.
I pretty much gave up waterfowl years ago. Took too many to fill the freezer.
Elk fills it quicker and tastes better.

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 :tup: 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 :tup: guides who help the handicapped are amazing :tup: 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 :tup: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.

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.
