LAST EDITED ON Aug-02-07 AT 03:59PM (MST)[p]It would be simple and end most of the rat race. Make anyone buying a G tag register the outfitter they will hunt with. Require that they can only have 1 outfitter work for them and last, dictate that the outfitter can only charge the average of the daily rate they charged hunters in the season prior. Now they can't fund hiring 40 guys to scout and there's no incentive for every guy in the state to go find that one bull. Disallow any payment to anyone other than the registered guide.
Now it's just a regular gig for the outfitter except that he work for the guy for a month instead of a week. Once the guy signs up with one, there's no changing guides. Everyone will still race to find and video great animals but... don't they do that already?
All this sounds like babysitting and ridiculous right? But no less ridiculous than the game whores (both hunter and guides) are making us all look. The benefit to hunters ends at the $ the guy pays for the tag... every other nickel, story, video thereafter seems to only make hunters look like pathetic fools shooting fish in a barrel... for $10,000. The only people that could possibly get bent about this are the ones F'ng us over in the public eye to begin with.
