What would you pay for a service like this?
And would you use a service like this?
This service provides vital and helpful information for non-resident big game hunters who have already drawn their tag (elk), and plan on doing a DIY hunt on public land(s). It is specific to the state and hunt area (unit) that they drew. They draw their information from first hand knowledge of the area(s) and species, a network of "on-the-ground" scouts, and G&F biologists and various reports.
It includes things like detailed topo maps of the hunt area highlighting specific "high success" areas within the hunt area on the map, local regs and rules not only governing the hunt but also things like ATV and vehicle use, local accomodations and camping and RV locations. It also has pointers on proper handling of the meat, local meat processors and taxidermists.
They indicate that this "package" dramatically improves your sussess rate. It's like "having an outfitter, without the cost!"
Sounds like a great idea, but what do you think it should cost?
(Their advertised price is about $150.00)

Sounds to me like the kind of stuff you can easily get for free. Id use the $150 for gas and make a few friends. What is a"various reports" ? The rest is free info on the net.

I would be a $10 map
Go to a local bar, buy some guys a round of $3 beers, take out the map. And say hey I'm thinking of hunting this area,
Bet they will circle all sorts of hot spots for you.
