Hey Double D very sorry to hear about your negative experience! All a guide or outfitter can do is work hard for you,if you come to the table with the right attitude and a willingness to do what it takes than the oweness is on them to make every effort they can to put you on game.
I will not hunt with a guide for the very reason that I am not willing to lose that much control of my own destiny.That outfitter has to make a living whether they have had serious winter kill the winter before or if Wolves have hammered their deer or elk herd or if they have lost all their guides.

Again I am sorry to hear about the lousy experience you had.Aside from not being a decent person,it sounds like your outfitter is a -iss poor business person.Maybe he is selling his territory and doesn't give a rats -ss if you come back or not.
