[QUOTE="Roadrunner, post: 2800, member: 115"] Ian, But then how does someone from out-of-state find a good reliable outfitter?? After I drew my elk permit I got a ton of pamphlets from a variety of outfitters offering to guide me for my hunt. A lot of the pamphlets were pretty much the same. You really couldn't tell who was good from their literature. The other problem with my outfitter is that he was based out of a small town in Wyoming (I guess all towns in Wyo are pretty small as judged by an east coast standard), and he really doesn't have much of a choice of people to work for him. There just aren't that many people in the area who can take a couple of weeks off during elk season to go work in the mountains. Also my guide, this "cowboy", my outfitter said had been a life-long friend. A study I read about business that failed said that one major mistake that up-start business made is that instead of hiring the very best people for the job within their businesses, they hired their friends and family. So I guess that I paid my money to be taken on a horse riding camping trip in the mountains with a bunch of "real nice guys" to spend a week bro-duding (that's a LA term for when you go out to the bar with a bunch of your male friends to have a good time with "the boys").
