Default RE: Question for guys who hunted with outfitters

I only ever hunted with one and that was a flop. They said they'd have stands up and all that. When I got there they didn't have enough for everyone. Fortunately I had brought my climber along. I told them to throw me out in this chunk of woods and I'd find a tree. For the rest of the time there I just went my own way and did my own thing. I saw more deer and bucks than all the rest of people in camp and passed on 3.

I would think it would depend on how much they did. When you're just the shooter it's not quite the same. Climbing in a tree someone has picked, doing what he says, staying until he says leave and all that would have to take some of the thrill out of it I'd say, no matter who you are. But like some have said, sometimes the law dictates what you may or may not do and you have to roll with it. I get just as excited when I've picked a spot, put someone there and they kill something. Just like your work all paid off and you didn't have to waste an arrow.[8D] I bet it's pretty fullfilling to the guide to have a customer score and not simply from a PR stand point.
