This is a can of worms but I like this one. I think that if you were to charge less for a big game hunt but tack on the trophy fee you would run yourself out of business. I am not a guide but I know it costs a lot of money just to operate and I am not sure it would benefit the guide any to drop his rates. You would have to have a lot of capitol to still operate a high end business and wait for a hunter to actually shoot what he calls a trophy. What is the definition of a trophy. My first moose was a spike fork and I call him a trophy. It was a memorable hunt.
