Keep Hammering
to me "casual hunting" is: taking the kids to shoot squirrels - Ground or tree walking down the creek or ditchbank to kick up a rabbit, duck or pheasant woodcutting trips that turn in to an impromptu deer stalk on a mature but not trophy buck coyote hunt while out shed hunting jump shooting the...- 2rocky

A few thoughts on influencers....bit of a tangent.... Remember Social media and the internet makes finding out information on your hobby way more accessible than it was 30 years ago.

Best Guides and Experience's
Shane Scott outfitting matched me up with a great local guide when I had my Utah tag in 2022. I knew UT was a one and done for me. He also helped with an application strategy. The Fish House in Seward AK put us on a great little 6 pack boat for halibut in 2007. If you have a LE tag in...- 2rocky

Bad Guides and Experiences
I too have been on both sides of the guide equation. I like to think it makes me a better client, but sometimes it is awful hard not to "guide the guide".
