[QUOTE="7mmRHB, post: 165691, member: 3584"] Guys this is what the local big shot guide is doing that makes ol' GG crazy. He gets most of the big money Govenors tag (Auction ) guys to hunt with him because they'll be on a DVD. They pay well over 100,000 k at auction and another 20,000 to be guided. In return the guide who has the gang GG is talking about, scout the animals year around to keep track of the giant Bucks and Bulls, getting tape of dozens of good canidates. When the hunt is on which in alot of these auction hunts it starts in Sept. and go to the end of the year, they send an E- Mail to the client in whatever state he is living in and let him decide what buck or bull they would like to shoot. Now that they know which Buck is wanted by the client, the guides little groupies find the Buck and sit with him constantly until the client can fly in and be brought to the right spot. The groupies are spread out on all sides with the walky-talkies giving directions to get in position for the shot. ( If the hunt is a limited entry hunt and they run into competition with a regular hunter who worked hard on his own to find the Buck in question, the big shots have been known to run the little guy off, with money or otherwise ) At that point they try to make this look like a real hunt, through editing, on his latest DVD. The groupies don't get anything but their picture in a video.The huge Bucks and bulls that stayed alive through all those months of the regular hunts get rewarded by being killed in Dec. on the winter range !!! On the limited entry units the Auction guys can hunt with a rifle during the archery--muzzle loader and the rifle portion. One friend crawled within 80 yards of a 230" non typical after 2 1/2 hr stalk on the Henry mountain unit only to watch the Auction tag holder/ rich dude shoot the buck out from under him !!! Just doesn't sit well with a lot of ( regular hunters ) I don't think GG has anything against Two way radios for normal hunting uses. The DWR says it needs the near one million dollars the Auction hunts bring in to run the wildlife programs, but those new Deisel pickups sure do look nice!!! ----- RHB--- [/QUOTE]
