[QUOTE="RH300UM, post: 1119785, member: 12469"] Well the outfitter will not return emails or contact attempts. So I guess I have my answer. I will fill the rest of you in on the less than expected experience I had. Here goes. Waiting to be flown in to the hunting area I was pulled aside by the outfitter. He began to tell his dilemma. One of his guides just had a. Nervous breakdown on the mountian. Most likely due to events that happened this summer. They are private issues so I won't be disrespectful and divulge them here. Needless to say this guide was expedited home. Second guide had to be expedited home for family issues that needed immediate attention. Now the outfitter has no guide for me. He scrambles to make phone calls to a very limited few guides he trusts Enter my guide. Nice guy. Guided for 20 plus years. But had not guided sheep for the last 15 years. He was not in sheep shape by any means. Also was rusty with his mountain skills. He had never been in this area and was going off of a map the outfitter gave him. He refused to hike to the tops of mountains and said the best strategy was to stay in the bottoms and glass to the tops. Problem with that is you miss a lot of terrain that could hold sheep. In 10 days we only hiked 40miles. Should have been close to 80 Every other Hunter got their sheep except 2. One gave up 3 days in because of weather. One Hunter missed a ram 7 times. All guides except mine said that you have to hunt from the top Down for sheep. So in a nutshell. I got a guide that was not in the shape required for sheep hunting. This fact alone, I feel, cut my chances for success. So there it is. [/QUOTE]
