[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1733853, member: 61747"] Just throwing this out there.....we are only hearing one side of the story. Unless you have guided hunters I think it's not all that reasonable for you to judge the guides and outfitters. It's like the internet trolls literally wind up in your camp. I have had clients tell me they are fit, ex special forces, high speed low drag, and wonder if I'll be able to keep up. When boots hit the ground only one of was the real deal. I have seen clients eject live rounds on the ground thinking they were actually firing. I've had men shake so bad they can't breath, can't walk, can't hold their rifle. Women usually do exactly what they say can do, hmmm. My point is that all this stuff can and needs to be worked out ahead of time, not with an animal in your sights. It's up to both the outfitter and client to get to know each other. People these days tend to way overstate their abilities because everyone thinks they are a bad@ss. It's just a function of communication and understanding. It is very possible the outfitter did state what their expectations are. I will say this, if I go with a guide, I am going to be **** sure to let him know my expectations and what he can expect from me. We are going to be a team and I want us to be dam* good one. [/QUOTE]
