First, most of the land is federal land. Meaning that all taxpayers, or better, all citizens have access. To limit the use of that land to only those wealthy enough to spend thousands on a guide is simply not right. For the state to set license fees is one thing - they'll find out what the threshold is for NR hunters at some point - maybe it will be a number high enough that hunters will hire a guide to increase the odds of a return on investment. Or, they may chase off hunters (as I think requiring guides will do). Might actually reduce the number of hunters by requiring guides - that is a fine line. Guides might be slitting their own throats.
