Yup, I have suspected on the odd occasion seeing former Guides (twice) that used to work for an Outfitter show up withOriginally Posted by BlackOwL
what they said were friends, but i suspected they were previous clients.
The reason the guide would not risk getting in shit was because the territory was no longer owned by the Outfitter they worked
for.
The territory was owned by a new Outfitter, and thus the new outfitter wouldn't know they were former guides.
I know it certainly happens with salmon fishing on the west coast (just don't know if that is illegal?).
One of the complaints i was hearing from one of the long time hunting parties in the area we are hunting is gyus bringing
friends after they have already had success.
Example, in October, 2 guys tagged out on 2 MD during any buck.
Then they were spotted in the same area during 4pt only, with 2 more friends.
All 4 are packing rifles.
Sure they will say they have a WT tag (which you wont find in the vicinity they are hunting),
Bear, Moose tag or that wolves are open.
But more than likely they are all hunting because there are 2 tags still to be cut.
That's been going on for years, everywhere you go.
And legally, unless you catch the guy shooting the 2nd MD, he has not done anything wrong.
But, it is how friends invite friends and invite friends.
Again, nothing new.
Removing and Entire Region is a bigger issue, imo, as the other stuff has been like that for a long long time.
