Somebody on here talked about using one. If I remember correctly the service provided pictures of the bull, multiple pins with date stamps, etc. The guy was happy.
600 just isn’t worth it. By the time I drive out there, multiple days of scouting, multiple tanks of gas, someone would be pretty hard up for a couple hundred bucks.
A few years ago I drew a LE elk tag close to home. A few people found out and I was getting messages wishing me luck. One message included a picture of a bull on a water hole. The individual said we can "discuss a price" and he'll send me the pin where this bull was. I laughed and said no thanks. I think it's pretty desperate for someone to do that especially when I never even asked for it. Crazy enough I killed a bull without buying any pins
I don't see a moral difference between using one of these services and hiring a guide.
If someone kills a nice trophy based on paid coordinates, I at least know they can do all the other parts of hunting without someone holding their hand.
(I know a lot of guys who use guides are very good hunters in their own right. But their success with a guide isn't how I'd judge that.)
You almost had the chance to either get the coordinates of the coral and shoot him there, or have a guide hold the halter while you poke a hole in him on some exotic ridge.
