Might be wise to distinguish between "guides" and "outfitters".  I, too, have used Ed Ottertail on multiple occasions.  That experience has been limited to tows, truck-ins, and shuttles; never as a "guide". Jimbo   8-)

Good point Jimbo. New question, have you ever hired a LLCFN outfitter or guide? Part of my curiosity is whether the 'advantages' they have are advantages worth paying for.
