Thread: Why do people use a guide?

There's many reasons someone would use a guide. Not all of them are going to be legitimate in a lot of our eyes but many are as well. None of us would hold it against an 80yr old to use a guide for the safety, physical capibility of dealing with an animal and maybe even just the friendship. On the other hand there's people who are just incompetant because they choose to use money to replace skill and hardship. I saw both sides of the coin when I worked in the guiding scene in Canada last year. Some salt of the earth types (an elderly couple who saved their whole lives for that hunt) and some I wouldn't want to see again (Multi-millionares spending $400K to shoot a record book sheep with a collar on it).

Every different type of person makes the world what it is.
