I spoke to the pilot and he was not super jazzed that I wanted to fly into a lake where an outfitter is set up on, my issue here is the land is not his and there aren't really that many options if you don't fly in, the pilot will fly me there though and we will land 5-6 km away at the other end of the lake and then we are hiking 10-20km away from the lake where the cabin is
obviously it's the bush the guide doesn't own the area but I do get that this is their business and they hunt the area a lots
my question is should I contact the guide out of good old Canadian courtesy and ask what his plans might be during my hunt time, if he's moose hunting great because I'm sheep hunting, but if he's sheep hunting I want to be away from Him so we aren't hunting the same range, I have no problem hunting west if they are east or vice versa there is lots of land to hunt so not overly concerned
Or should I just fly in and whatever I'm just over thinking the whole thing, just hunt and maybe we cross paths at some point and maybe we don't?
thanks
