Semmeshunter,
I have hunted with SMO and though I did not harvest a bull, it was not their fault as weather was tough and the elk ran to me too quickly.
I know quite a few hunters that book with Cal annually or every other year. So, he can't be that bad. And if they were to guarantee an animal, would that be hunting?
Having said that, Cal is in very bad shape at this moment and his family needs your thoughts and prayers. He was in a serious car accident last week.
