If it was a guaranteed chance of a good hunt, and I could bring someone with me that doesn't get to go often, sure. Maybe one or two days out of the season. I've done this same scenario in KS. Except meals and lodging were included also. It was an older guy by himself who basically just had a ton of land. As soon as we got there he took us around all his properties (the ones that he would recommend hunting at least) and basically said "get after it." Blinds were ready at some spots, and some spots you didn't need a blind. He had side by sides that he let us use, and if we wanted he would bring us wherever. He had decoys in his shed we could use even though we brought our own. But you could easily just bring a gun and waders and show up and hunt in a situation like that. The best part was we still got to do our own scouting and make our own decisions (call, decoy set ups, I brought my dog, etc.) so it still felt more rewarding than just going with an outfitter. Although he would "guide" you and work his dog if you needed him to. FYI we paid $300/gun/day.
