How would you plan and give guidance

If you can find them a leg day bae, it will be easier for them.

Instagram is full of squat videos without all the extra baggage. Better advice than my last post by a country mile too.

What ever you do, don't hunt with the locals. Just ask @TheNorthStar.

Au contraire, if you snag the right local they'll put you up in the penthouse suite of their finest 5 star mountain peak and trick you in to thinking you're on an elk hunt with only a deer tag in your pocket.

Tell them to be in shape and be prepared to make difficult shots.

best way to train for hunt is hike w/a pack, alot.......
and be prepared to go home empty handed, so if they do then they've already mentally prepared for it

A good attitude will solve a lot of woes/problems.

A bad attitude makes you wish you never left home.

Its just hunting, figure it out on the fly...be flexible.

How this hunt goes down is most likely not going to be how you planned it...almost never works that way.

IMO, hunting is about problem solving...control the variables you can, adapt to the ones you cant.

Don't forget to have some fun along the way.

Lots of advice being thrown around so all I can say is good luck and try to have fun!!!!! I've been in your shoes and it can be super difficult.

I will say this though. If their enthusiasm isn't high enough where you're having to drag them along with the planning, it's gonna be tough. If they truly want to go, they should be asking all sorts of questions.

Thank you all for the input and advice. Hopefully all if this will work out. As some of you stated, they should be asking all the questions and not myself. Guess, I will plan both an individual trip and a group trip. Either way, Ill be out west hunting something.

"Yeah, I'll go." That's easy. Start the real planning after you see them click SUBMIT on the credit card payment for the tag. Nothing wrong with going solo. You may find you enjoy it more than going with someone you had to convince to go.
