[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 325389, member: 2736"] I have been on 5 guided hunts and feel that they were for the most part very worthwhile and enjoyable. On 2 of the hunts I had to take the lead in the hunt because the guide did not care if any of us killed anything or even had a good hunt. These two Guided hunts were not researched very good (A Huge Mistake) one was put together by a friend and the other was the 1st place prizes at the Texas state broad head championship that I was ''Lucky" enough to win. The other 3 were great and the guide service was outstanding even though I had to settle for a mule deer instead of an ELK on two of the hunts. And yes I will go on more guided hunts. It is a good way to learn how ,If you are new to this kind of hunt (Like ELK). Also a good way to learn an area or state. And it helps you to learn what gear to carry and what not to. Out of all of this I came to the conclusion that: 1 = you should do a lot of research before you talk to the outfitter. 2 = Get references and talk to some of them to get a feel for the type of outfitter he is (Not just a good old boy). 3 = Communicate well with the outfitter and express your wants and expectations of the hunt. 4 = And if the Hunt does not appear to be headed in the right direction ,REDIRECT IT !!! It's your money. 5 = And by all means don't demand a guaranteed kill because they cannot do that but they should try very hard to make your hunt a success . SO if the outfitter tries very hard and you have a great hunt (Kill or not) tip them accordingly and it will give you a lot of good memories. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
