Hey Tex, since im "the guy that wishes he was a guide" if you can make it out for the January archery hunt i will personally take you to my honey holes where you can get a chance at a nice coues. Plenty of P&Y quality bucks to be had. And i expect NOTHING in return. Just a dude helpung another dude out
To the rest of the forum, the he wishes he was a guide comment is what i had in the forefront of my mind when i called him priveleged, yes i acted petty about it (i was self medicating in my defense). But yeah the only way i can get paid to do what i love is to guide, maybe 2 to 3 hunts a year tops would be enough to scratch the itch. I've done it enough for free but as the sole provider for a family of seven i cant be out every year for a week or more on multiple trips and not bring in some income, especially while im leaving her home with all the kids. I offered to help plenty here, some took me up on it and some havent but volunteering doesnt help pay the bills.
For what its worth, i was actually gonna apologize to birdhunter but he kept bringing my name up, so I decided he wasnt worth the apology. For anyone else ive irritated over my tit for tat argument with him i do apoligize.
