Next year I intend to start big game hunting again, after a 25 year lay off. I hunted up until I was about 23 or so then family, and work kept me out of the field. I need some instruction/guidance about where to hunt and thought that starting with a guide would give me the schooling that would help me with a successful hunt.
I have seen the ads in Field and Stream and Sports Afield for the $5000 hunts and don't really want to bite off that much financially. . . plus some say that they are guaranteed - no game, no pay; which makes me think that they are going to put domesticated game animals in front of me.
Any suggestions on where to look for a reliable guide or outfitter? What can I do to evaluate their claims of fitness for purpose? Thoughts on how to compare prices?
I have the winter to make my choice, since I can't hunt again until next fall. Had a license in Wyoming for Antelope, but had heart surgery in September so I am planning for next year. . . Oh well. . .
