I've heard of zero guide fees, I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

Zero Guide Fees - You draw the tag, we pay for your hunt.

The number of units you're eligible for shrinks based on the number of points you have. You're mostly limited to units you can't draw in the bonus pass (I only looked at Arizona) but you could get lucky and draw in the next pass. You get a 5-day hunt if you draw in years 1-3, a 7-day hunt if you draw in years 4-6, or a 10-day hunt if you draw in year 7 or later.

They are banking on guys like me who's draw luck really sucks and it will take them 25 years to draw a tag...lol

I have not used them, the concept is interesting though.

Steve Chappell had something like this going on for a while. Not sure if he is still doing it or not.

Sounds like a good concept. But like previously mentioned…..those of us who have shit luck at drawing, benefits their business big time! If you could draw one the tags within 5 years, it would be awesome!

I checked on it but since I have a enough points to draw in a couple of years I was not eligible to participate. You need to be in the system for a few years in order for them to make it worth their time.

ZOF said they are OK with high points??, I am learning there is a few different outfitters with similar programs.

They are limited in the states covered.

Contacted Diamond Outfitters and they have no restrictions on how many points you can have and still be part of their program. I think it was Chappell outfitting that has a restriction on how many points you can have.

chappell is top notch, they have no restrictions other than where you can apply vs your point level.

diamond outfitters also tells you where to apply, and you won't be applying for a hunt where you'll draw in the bonus pass
