Depends on the state you are looking at. Out here there is so much public land all you need is a map to pre scout the areas then go, no need for a guide in WY IMO.
Yeah seriously... I wouldn't waste the money on a guide. Drop me a PM and I'd be more than happy to hook you up w/ information I planned for my son and I back in 2010... check out the report/pics http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthr...ul_Wyoming_PH_ here.
It may be hard to believe, but if '12 is anything like '10, I could virtually guarantee that you guys would both shoot bucks, even if not "wall hangers," depending upon how you define that.
Let me know if I can be of assistance! This was a simple hunt and an unbelievably cool time right near the Black Hills & Mt Rushmore. Absolutely incredible!
I am interesed also, pm coming your way, spent a lot of time in the rapid city area many many years back while in college in NE.
Seems to the plan.
We submitted apps for area 27. This is our first DIY hunt out west, pretty excited. It's a whole different world that the woods of PA.
Jim (5spd) has been a big help already. Thanks again !!!
Any info/tips would be greatly appreciated.

We stayed in tent right on his property. Went alone in 2010 & friend in 2011. With friend gas, Lic., tresspass fee, trip was $1100.00 per man & we saw 600 pronghorn in 3 days of hunting. Prairie dogs & yotes as secondary animals. Had a blast
