Moose, its a good thing that not all hunters read whats here on the huntingnet! If they did, all the guides of this world, especially the ones in Maine, would start suffering the worst economic depression since 1929!
In a few short days, you have convinced most of us to reconcider saving up for years to spend on an out of state guided hunt!
You are such a bitter person, you should really seek professional help! Or at the very least, seek gainful employment in another line of work!
With your attitude, you cannot possibly be a GOOD GUIDE! What happened? Did your last client's check bounce? Or did he stiff you on the tip? If so, look in the mirror! They might have detected your assine attitude!
If you don't decide to get out of guiding, give us the name of your outfit! None of us would want to save for ten, twenty years or more, and go a couple of thousand miles to waste the hunt of a lifetime, to be shafted by a weasel like you!
