[QUOTE="Professor Doolittle, post: 2526975, member: 118902"] Just this morning I asked the ranch owner where I shoot who used to be a pro guide what happens if your target animal walks up right when the hunt is just starting. He said he has seen multi-day guided hunts bag their game in the first half hour of the hunt. I think its a strange position to be in. I think I would feel like a fool if that happened to me. I don't really understand the concept of the guided hunt. I could see a guide for learning to hunt an animal you haven't hunted before, such as your case. But for me I don't want the guide so much as assistance with the hard labor, the butchering, hauling, packing, etc. I don't know which hunting elements can be removed and still leave a great experience of hunting. The core ideas, besides the obvious pursuit of meat on the table, are 1)competence in hurling a projectile accurately, 2)competence in dealing death, 3) competence in the outdoors, 4)competence in stalking. Everything about hunting is a display of competence. Women love competence in a man. I knew a couple where the man was less competent than his girlfriend and you never saw a more unhappy woman in your life, snatching the screwdriver out of his hand to do it herself. It was quite hilarious. [/QUOTE]
