Thread: American Hunter Needing Advice

Thanks timattalon. I really wouldn't want to hire a guide or even think about booking a hunt with an outfitter over there. To me that takes away from the hunt itself when you are just hunting high fenced animals. However, I would be up to finding a local that would show us around and give us some good insight. We would pay you back in all the beer and game meat you could handle, lol. Not only that, but they would be welcome to come to Wyoming and bag themselves a nice antelope, mule deer, or even an elk.

While there are some "behind the wire" places here, these are not what I was referring to. The guides I was referring to are more people who know a specific area and what conditions to expect, where and when to go and more importantly when and where not to. Having someone who is there to make sure you a) find what you are after and B) more importantly make sure you get out alive and well. These would be guides that know the animals habits and would still be seeking truly wild game. I expect they would also be a decent judge of a situation with a more experienced perspective allowing for better decisions. In much the same way we have mountain giudes for climbers.

Now while I, myself dont know of any who are still in the business, I am sure there are some reputable ones out there.
