Just got curious what everyone's thoughts are on all the guides here in Utah.... I think they're getting/have been pretty annoying. The unit I hunt for general deer is a LE elk unit and the only outfitter originally was good ole Mossback now there is at least 3-5 other outfitters with multiple clients each that will kill big bulls. I've witnessed guides on the pauns shooting deer on private land and didn't get charged with anything then they post the buck on Instagram bragging about their "hunt of a lifetime." Seems like (especially on the LE units) it just over crowds the area with guides, spotters, and trail cams on every water hole and just turns the hunt for the DIY guys a **** show. I get that not every guide is a poacher like I witnessed and probably most are doing it as their job but it's getting out of hand seeing guide after guide on every ridge. Sick of all these people just showing up and pulling the trigger instead of hunting for themselves. Most outfitters are after the biggest and best animals and if they aren't they've gotta send their clients home with something so that's definitely gotta affect the population right? Especially consistently killing the top dogs of the units. I just think of all these amazing animals year after year that would have lived a lot longer if it wasn't for guides or at the least could have been harvested by a guy more deserving.
Anyway just a little rant...thoughts? Ideas? Solutions?
