There are a number of guides who really know the area. I think that the area you got drawn for is mostly private land so enlisted help from a guide might be a good idea. Most of the guides have agreements with landowners to get you acces to their property.
As for me I did not use a guide. But the price that you mentioned is pretty close to most of them wanted. The cost really depends on what they do for you.(Lodging, meals, scouting, getting the animal out etc...)
You will more than likely hear from more guides in the next couple of weeks. Talk to all of them before you commit.

I have a cabin in NW Clinton county, and that's where I hunt deer. Just never had an interest in shooting an Elk.
As a side note, I did see a Fisher on my property a few months ago. They were reintroduced into PA in the 90's.
