  1. We wanted to clarify why we are only excepting and publishing UnGuided hunting stories. Tyler Angle's Archery Kaibab BuckThe Outdoorsman's Resource Guide is an advertising/media outlet for small businesses. This year we have 6 outfitter supporters that contributed to the Arizona Hunting Edition with articles. There are plenty of good magazines that will publish stories from multiple outfitters, but that's not how we are set-up to work. If you are a guide/outfitter, and you or a family member want to submit a story we would be more than happy to review it. If it's a good story, we would publish it, as long as you aren't promoting your business. We will be publishing guided stories in the future, but only from our supporting outfitters, so if you are interested you can email us.We believe in supporting those that support us, if that costs us a story or two, than so be it. Keep in mind, 90% of hunting is done without hired help. Hunters that hire an outfitter generally do so because they want to take a trophy book animal. Some clients may also want to learn about hunting a specific species and perhaps, some just want to go hunting for the first time. Their is nothing wrong with hiring an outfitter, it is one's choice, but there is also nothing wrong with publishing or marketing stories as UnGuided either. Quite simply, we area different publication, product, and media outlet. We will continue to do what we believe in. Just to clarify, I also own a predator hunting guide service called Predator Exclusives. View the full article

  3. A couple weeks ago, I found out my in-state tag fees and hunting licenses were going to go up next year. dang, I wish I could do that when I had a budget issue. Today, I got the official word of an access program, which includes fees, being implemented for a big ranch in Arizona. My wallet can't take too much more of this, but I will adapt my lifestyle to continue to get myself and my family in the field. I am officially on the wagon and I will eat saltine crackers and peanut butter this hunting season, so I can put fuel in my truck and buy our permits. My rant! Hunting is changing. Hunting is not going to get any cheaper. We are going to see access fees & programs for National Forests in the future. Any of the large tracts of private land you access for free now, will eventually be developed, or closed for only those willing to pay big time access fees. Draw odds for the best hunts will continue to decrease and eventually the state wildlife departments will have to charge more for these permits (ie. premium permit) to make up for lost revenue. I think the future will allow for only those who value hunting the most to participate on a regular basis. I see hunting becoming less family oriented and more of a secular activity. I hate to be the grim reaper, but hunting numbers will drop in the future. The good old days... Gone? A few thoughts... The answer is not to increase non-resident fees. This only hurts those of us with a less full wallet, who apply for out-of-state hunts. Start applying for out-of-state hunts, now! Can't afford it? Yeah, that's why the above is NOT an option.
