This is the first time I have been in this particular forum so I have a quick question. I know all the outfitting laws for Utah so I understand being compensated is against the law. My question is this, If you have dogs why don't you take the test and get an outfitter license?
The $100 bucks or so a year is a drop in the bucket compared to keeping dogs around and trained and then you can help out people like TUT who just posted about lion hunt help on the Beaver unit. You can run your dogs and take their money without worry. I have often wondered this as I too would like to chase lions or bears in Utah when I get my tag but would need the assistance of one with dogs. It would be nice to find people who just want to run dogs and kill predators without having to pay the going 'outfitter rate'. I just want to have fun, do a hunt, and make friends. Its not like hunting mule deer where everyone can be a 'guide'. Having dogs takes time, money, dedication, and patience that only a few can have and only a few of those can even be great at it. That is why the rest of us are looking for you to help out on hunts.
If you don't have an outfitter license, do you just have dogs as a hobby? Just curious to know the reasoning for not taking the test. Thanks for any responses to clear this up.
