As far as I'm concerned guiding without a license is poaching and it is not fair to all the legal guides out there that are trying to make an honest living. I never go out with a guide until I know that they are legit.

I used to know of a guy that called himself a guide that blatently violated the law. I made efforts to bring his actions to light, but it seemed that no one really cared. I haven't seen him around on any of the boards lately so maybe he got busted too!
