[QUOTE="gusd, post: 1149626, member: 90071"] I am from Wi, and have been going west almost every year for the last 20 years on DIY hunts with great success.I don't always shoot big animals but the ones I do shoot are Trophys to me because I did it myself. I have used a guide once on private land and shoot a real nice muley but found that is not for me. I like to hunt not be directed to an animal by someone else and all I did was the shooting. Granted that is not always the case but like the last poster said if you get a good guide is should be the case and if you get a bad one you will regret spending the money. My thoughts are these. First a couple questions. How good are you at hunting /scouting?[if you are good having someone else find your game for you is not going to be much fun] How much is your time worth?[if you are pinched for time paying someone to do the scouting may be a good choice ] How hard do you want to hunt?[ Does having someone for the most part walk you to an animal and you pull the trigger appeal to you?] Getting out there a couple days early to scout is great. One thing i have found hunting out west is if you can't find any animals or good sign don't be afraid to move camp and look for another spot.Getting out there earlier makes that a lot easier. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
