RE: What is your view on Outfitters?
I really don't think anyone can truely answer this question without having lost ground to these pimps. How many of you that are singing the praises of these hunting whores have lost a piece of property that you have hunted for years to outfitters? Many of you see them as a great tool in the sport of hunting, I see them as the downfall of this great sport. To those of you who are outfitters, I do not view you as a hunter, I do not view you as a sportsman,youare thegreedy bastard child of the sport of hunting. Shame, and worst wishes toyour business.[:@]

This poll is definitely biased in structure. I have used outfitters in a few cases mostly because you either had to by law ( caribou ) or with limited time it makes sense to have established stands and accomodations waiting for you in a new area . Some are crooks and some are legitimate people earning a living. I will use them again as there is no way I can realistically "pre scout" a Western state prior to a hunt. I don't use them in my home province when hunting deer, moose and bear but don't mind contributing to a local economy when doing road trip hunts.

How is it biased?

I can't stand outfitters. Just because they go and get all the prime land... and piss off alot of people. because they can no longer hunt there any more with out paying all the money.

When you say you lost land to them...........do you mean they took land that you owned?

Splitear Leland, Perhaps if there were not any outfitters, and the landowners leased the ground all out to YOU, or your Friends, then would you be exempt from the same crap your talking?, or then will the landowner become a bastard Child of the hunting world? "Complete insanity"

RE: What is your view on Outfitters?
Best solution I can see is for one outfitter to have exclusive rights to a county with a limit on the maximum amount of acreage. The landowners who miss out on leasing it to an outfitter can always lease to a hunter.
