I also want to do exactly what outdoorsi wants to do in the fall of 2008. I'm trying to plan early but keep running into the "wilderness will eat you up" issue along with the cost factor. The reason I want to do it on my own is two fold. One is to save money and the second is to do it on my own. I'm a guide in New Mexico for elk and the fall of '08 is when I'm planning on not working and hunting for myself. Pleasee give us some specifics on who we can contact, who you would recommend, where we should consider going, etc. Thanks Guys!
