[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 3434"] RR, Not sure who your buddy is but if he is that good maybe he should guide. I agree there are some very marginal guides out there. Some are even poor. This is why I tell most people to call references from the outfitter. Make sure to ask for a list of names that didn't kill an animal as well. The second thing you should do is as soon as your in camp meet with your guide TALK to him make it a point to spend time talking about what you expect and what your after. Guides are huiman and make mistakes too. We all realize that you are on a hunt of a lifetime and that you've spent a good deal of money. But we are not Gods and cannot just make animals apear. ( especially trophy ones) I realize you are dissapointed and I hope you spoke to your outfitter about your dissapointment. But please remember not every hunter goes home with a trophy or an animal for that matter. I would NEVER recommend that you go it alone. Unless you have extensive knowledge of the area you are hunting. Not may guys in this area make a mistake and live to tell about it. Hunting the west is not like hunting the east or midwest where you can eventually run into a public road. Here you may never run into anything but something that can hunt you! The biggest mistake that a hunter looking for a guided hunt can make is asking to few questions ad not researching the outfitter enough. I hate to say it but there are outfitters who only care about the money you give em.. that's it. I would not hessitate to talk to your outfitter and discuss what happened. He may have givben you an unexpierienced guide or a new one. He may even cut you a good deal onanother hunt with a good guide!! [/QUOTE]
