I will add that this would also be illegal in AZ without a guide license. I can remember a case a few years back where a guy was charged for illegally guiding because the gentleman he helped took him to Taco Bell after the hunt for lunch! The law reads it is illegal to assist in the taking of wildlife for pay. Pay is not limited to just money, anything considered to be gain or a tip can get you in trouble.
I think your offer is fantastic and would even be interested in hooking up with you in the future because I do hunt in WY, but I think it is a great idea for you to check on the legal aspect of your generous offer. You may need to delete this thread if you find out it is illegal. Best of luck to ya!
