This thread is giving me a headache.
It is full of incorrect information in just about every post.
This reveals an alarming truth, outfitters, guides and resident hunters generally have no clue about the Outfitter Allocation and Policy.
This is a great fault that lies on the shoulders of the Gov, APOS and the resident stakeholder groups.

No Kurt, Outfitters are fully to blame (but not alone in responsibility) for the current situation.
They are the ones lobbying and threatening to sue for what they want.
They are the ones resisting change to the system.
"Super secret" level meeting are being held to review and update the Outfitter Policy and Allocation agreement. Actually, these have been going on for the last several years.... with absolutely NO progress, just stonewalling and suppression of the Public consultation process.
Oh, and a hostile takeover of the APOS head office. Lol.... nice job.
Deer Hunter had it right.
A Deer Allocation is worth $130.
Go ahead and pay 4-20K, but that doesn't mean you will ever recoup the balance when the gov orders an return of these privileges.
Buy your bridges.
