[QUOTE="Carolina Hunter, post: 612600, member: 41698"] Guys, I am both time and money poor right now because my business is really hurting. I am working 70 hours a week just to pay bills and pinching pennies hard. For those who can afford a guide or outfitter, great. My flight into Denver is free because I am going to see clients. Driving from NC would cost me $650 in gas plus $600 in motel and meals roundtrip, not to mention burning up six days of vacation time driving 10-11 hours/day. Sure, if I fly I have to rent a truck and maybe buy chains in Denver but I'm still saving $100s over driving. As for a guide, even if I could afford one, I like the satisfaction of doing it all myself. I am not excited about having someone lead me around even if they know the area and how to hunt it more than I do. On a good antelope area, I don't know why you really need a guide if you're willing to take your time, learn on the job and work hard. This is not hunting Dall Sheep in the Yukon. On hiring an outfitter, sure it's less work to do that but I figure the cost of a motel hunt for me is $900 for the week, with us splitting a room, eating breakfast in the room, packing a lunch and splitting the truck and gas costs. Most guides and outfitters charge much more for only 3-4 days. And, I don't need much help packing out a de-boned antelope. [/QUOTE]
