[QUOTE="Troutslayer, post: 176099, member: 4354"] I have worked as a guide for several outfitters and in some cases outfitters are helpful. 1. Single older gentleman who's wife doesn't like him in the woods alone 2. Getting deep into backcountry on horse with mules to pack out the animal 3. Guaranteed elk tag in MT if you book through outfitter, others must put in for lottery That said, I have never worked for an operation that I felt was worth what the clients paid. Most people do have more money than time which is why they might book an outfitter. I don't think paying for it cheapens the experience, it's not like we keep them in pens or anything. You're still out there working your *** off long hours in the cold and often coming up empty handed. If you can go into unfamiliar territory with limited time and kill a good elk by yourself and get it out of the backcountry you should do that. [/QUOTE]
