air taxis holding areas for guides...
Posted by BRWNBR on Jan 10 2006
This was touched on in another post and i wanted to get some feedback on what everyone thought about this. There are some air taxis that wont fly into an area because a guide is working it, i know maccoll ridge in st elias you can't fly into because of a lodge out there, and someone spoke of some areas for sheep that air taxis wont' fly to.
Personally, i can't stand this, i'm a guide and i told the air taxis i fly with that i don't mind other hunters, just don't drop them here while i'm here. Its not my land, and not my right to tell everyone to stay off it. In my opinon i think its wrong, if the guide is there, thats one thing. but if he uses that area...and he's not there at the time, i think the land should be open to whatever hunter is willing to float the nickle to get there.
As a result i'll probably never get to hunt goats or sheep over at maccoll ridge, the area the world record sheep was taken. So because of one guide and his five or six hunters the rest of us are shorted the privildge of experiencing that part of our state.
Just wanted some other viewpoints on this from the other guides in here and hunters.
