I'm a do it yourself guy 99.9% of the time.
I've been on some very good guided hunts, but not many.

The guy is a very good hunter with the most stunning Colombian Blacktail collection I know of.



He killed all of them on his own.
Many of the animals in his collection were taken in states and foreign countries where guides are mandatory.

I have other friends with lots of money and big collections that aren't so good at DIY hunts, I'm sure that they wouldn't have much to brag about if it weren't for the dollars they spent hiring guides to find their animals.

I certainly am the first to give WAYYYY more credit to a do it yourselfer as they are TRUE hunters.
