If you are totally green about the particulars in a new state, daunted by reading regs, maps, and draw odds, and have no luck making local contacts it might be worth trying out as a starting point. Personally, I think that research part is half the fun. I bought a subscription worth several years ago to try it out, only because Garth claimed if you got in now, you were good for $100 a year and that all new subscriptions would be $500 going forward. Of course, it never did go to $500.
He misses a lot of the real good stuff though and important details, but when you are Garth Carter and you are buying Governor’s tags, landowner permits, and taking advantage of great leases and guided hunt opportunities, why focus on the important details for us average guys?
