[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1122655, member: 30902"] You can certainly make DIY hunts work but when you pay a guide/outfitter you are paying for the benefit of their many years at it and knowledge of the species and area. If you don't have any experience Elk Hunting, particularly in that area and have the money I'd say it's money very well spent. It's a real blessing to have someone along who can at least reel you back a few notches when you want to take a "so so Bull" knowing your chances of seeing one much better are high, or to do just the reverse and let you know "Hey man, it's late in the hunt and the big guys just haven't come down yet, or are already below us and off of our property so this one might be a nice "First Bull" for you". A few extra days of scouting won't buy you that kind of experience and knowledge. [/QUOTE]
