I am really sorry to hear about this in regard to USO. I had an excellent lottery muzzleloading hunt with them in NM last October, primarily due (in my opinion) to letting them know that I would be in shape and getting a guide who knew the area like the back of his hand and hunted very aggressively. I also have another lottery muzzleloading hunt booked with them November 9-13 of this year. Of the 7 hunters in our camp, only myself and the other hunter hunting with our guide killed elk. Some of the other hunters were not in shape, and some of the other guides seemed not to be nearly as aggressive as our guide. That apparent inconsistency of the guides does concern me. I have again been in contact with USO to let them know that I am in shape and again would like a very aggressive guide. While on my hunt last year, guides referred to preseason scouting from planes, but planes were not used at all during our hunt. My experience with USO over the past 3 years has been very positive and they have performed in a very professional way.

Work is for those who don't hunt (or those of us who must work in order to afford to hunt!)
