That requires time and proximity.  I drew a great NV deer tag a few years back and hired a guide and had an incredible hunt.  It was a once in a lifetime tag and I shot a once in 100 lifetimes buck.  It was a pre rut hunt and those require hundreds of hours to do right and there’s no way I could have done that being 1500 miles away.   
A year before that I drew a once in a lifetime mountain goat tag.  That one was 5 hours from home so I made it happen and scouted it myself and killed a B&C Billy. 
Do I look at either hunt differently?  Maybe.  I enjoyed the heck out of both of them, one with family and one I met some new friends that I keep in contact with to this day.  
Last year I got a once in a lifetime moose tag in my home state.  Ended up killing a great bull about 5 min from my house.   Didn’t even consider a guide for that hunt.  
This year I just found out I drew a real good AZ tag.  I’m 1200 miles away, I will be hiring a guide for this one too.  I may only get one or two more of them in my lifetime so I’m gonna make the most of it. 
Am I less of a hunter then you?  Maybe in your eyes I am.  If I had to wager a guess you haven’t killed much stuff real far from home though and that’s one of the things I enjoy the most about my hunting career.  

Wasting your breath on that guy

Gets sheep tag. Can't climb mountain.. $hit!!!

Reminds me of the earlier post on GMU 9 late cow. Hey that's actually not so easy. Filled one tag on my own and tried to help on two others cow hunts but those hunters had no desire to work for it.

Many good hunters who are far more accomplished than their guides book a hunt simply because they’re unfamiliar with an area out of state. It’s about goals. The best hunters in the country still book guides for specific trophy hunts. 
 

now if you’re local, have time, not specifically trophy hunting, and book a guide I would tend to agree with you 

Very well said 👍

Funny how sideways these threads go 🤣Congrats on the cow tags you and your crew drew 👍 Bulls or Cows, man we are blessed to be able to be in the woods!!! Never had a bad steak from either. Look forward to hearing the story and seeing the pictures in a few months!

We have a couple first time elk hunters in our crew and one is a kid…more excited to see the kid on his first elk hunt than anything! Can’t wait for that steak too after tag soup for me last year.

unless I forgot that I bought something else for $135 on March 3, it looks like I get to google "Is 30 06 enough for elk?".

Absolutely 30-06 is enough .Put that shot right behind that shoulder and watch them drop!I've only seen them go no more than 60 to 80 yds all my hunting buddy's all use them .I like my 300 win mag.

My buddy from South Carolina had the archery tag in 2020. I didn’t do a write up because I love the bad press it gets. Called in or had in bow range 33 bulls( some the same). Called this one in 3 days in a row and buddy could not get an arrow in himB3CFFDA8-86D5-46D8-8EDE-8A1A777ED5E3.thumb.jpeg.cb1438ab38a6ba5ed9db426274de426c.jpeg2EF318F7-18A6-44FD-89BA-4481EA8210B0.thumb.jpeg.0db5fded8adf1cc3adb432589cd8f582.jpeg
