Is that the ad? Looks to like he's selling access to hunt on his private ranch, not selling elk...you may or may not be willing to pay a guide or pay a landowner to hunt private property, but that's definitely not illegal.

I wouldn't pay a fishing guide to take me fishing, either, but I don't begrudge the guides that make their living that way, nor do I begrudge their clients an opportunity to fish in a place or manner that they're unable to create themselves.

That being said...I would think that a Master Hunter wouldn't need to buy access to private property where the trail runs between feeding stations to fill his tags.

Fish on...
