[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1309564, member: 95733"] It is an absolute and inescapable fact of elk hunting you have to research your outfitter every bit as thoroughly IF NOT MORE THAN the unit you plan on hunting in. After 23 years, I was forced to change jobs 7 years ago. I am truly thankful my new job actually pays better than my old, except I get only a fraction of the time off I was once so use to. After five successful DIY 100% self guided elk hunts, I have to face the very real fact I will likely have to now seriously consider hiring an outfitter because I simply will not be able to get the time off needed IMHO to at least give me a realistic chance at being successful. All of my past elk hunts I would arrive in the previously exhaustively researched unit at the very least a full seven (preferably 10) days prior to opening day and spend early every waking hour trying to find quality bulls. If all other factors about a elk unit are equal in terms of animal numbers and quality, TIME above all other factors IMHO is as if not more important than any other factor to the success of your hunt. So when I finally get drawn in UT and AZ, I will likely be researching guides actually harder than I did the unit I applied for. [/QUOTE]
