RE: guided hunts?
I agree with checking the references. You should check with successful and unsuccessful references. There's nothing better than word of mouth from other hunters. If an outfitter is a fake or a crook- these are the guys that would know. They'll tell you what they liked about the hunt, but be sure to ask what they didn't like as well. This way, maybe you can better prepare yourself for something that you're expecting. There should be no suprises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
(No surprises financially, ethically, lodging, meals, etc. Check everything out!!!!!!!! A lot of guys have been burned!!!!!!)
