[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 3436, member: 25"] Ric, Good advice, we are buying a hunting experience and it is a purchase just like buying a new truck, computer or rifle scope. Some guys forget that they are NOT buying a freaking elk, they are purchasing the opportunity to hunt one and to experience a quality outing. If killing something with a big horns on its head is all-important then the hunt-farm industry will make that happen without the individual having to raise a sweat. We build websites for a lot of outfitters and I get to do quite a lot of hunts each year. Have been fortunate to meet and hunt with a lot of outfitters in the last few years. Most have been super individuals who want the hunter to succeed as if it was his own kid hunting. Been with a couple of losers, guys who should have had "mentally defective" tattoo'd on their foreheads, but that happens in any game. Booking a hunt is a buyer-beware experience - you will minimize your chance of a gong-show if you do good homework. Unfortunately sometimes even the best outfitters have an off period and the hunts don't produce game. If the guide did everything possible but the weather, game movement or UFO's resulted in no kill, the hunt can still be a complete success. Unfortunately spending big dollars on hunts drives up the need to show a tangible result - as in a rack or rug. Just getting into superb wilderness with quality people should be worth the price of admission. Roadrunner has every reason to be ****ed-off, and if the outfitter is any good he will fix that.
