I'm not against listening them for a nominal fee. Just as a fishing guide has to have a charter license so too should a hunting guide. If nothing else but for safety. Guides sometimes bring customers whom have never shot a gun. There should be a process that they go through to prove they can safely help people operate firearms. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't hunting guides who take people in boats have to have a charter license.
As far as limiting the number of guides. That's ridiculous. Anytime the government places artificial limits on supply of any product/service then the price will surely go up. The governments job is to make sure that a person is offering this service in a safe way and hold them accountable if they are not. Let the market determine how many guides are needed.
I now step down off of my soapbox.
