I must have missed it in the regs.
Do you think it is illegal because it would step on outfitter toes?

Resident guiding will likely be a thing of the past before too long other then by outfitters and hopefully it will be tightly regulated. Believe it or not it can put a lot more pressure on specific WMUs where there is a general season.
From what I understand now the only outfitter that can guide resident sheep hunters is the ones who hold sheep allocations already for that specific WMU. The draw areas are still open to hiring somebody else (other outfitter), likely because the tag numbers are so regulated anyway. That’s my understanding anyway.
Something needs to change anyway, other then maybe bears.
