I was in your same position a few years ago, made several calls to guides who advertised in hunting magazines. One guide had a nice ad, a fancy website, but I wasn't impressed when I talked with him on the phone. I could tell he was full of BS, so I asked for names and numbers of some hunters from the season before. His answer, I'll send you a complete list of ALL the guys who shot with me. I called several guys from all over the country. Couldn't find one that would give him a positive review. All said they would never go back.
I've said all this to encourage you to do your homework, call hunters, and make sure you're getting your money's worth. We did shoot with an Indian guide a couple of years ago on a reservation, can't recommend him. He wanted to start late, after we bought his breakfast, quit early, and get paid in cash every day after we shot. All this, for very little shooting. Worst of all, an acquaintance recommended him. Do your homework!
