Brandon thank you but let me make one thing very clear ... do not judge all Canadian outfitters or hunts on what happened to us ...most of the Canadian people I have ever met are genually very nice people ...I also think the majority of the Canadian outfitters are honest hard working people that mean well ...I would just advise you to be sure to ask all questions and make sure everything is clear before you go and even then things might not work out like this time but he lost two very good clients ....

This is by far the most diplomatic thing you've said. Had you taken the time to clarify from the beginning you likely wouldn't have received the response you did, at least from me.
If your true intention was to be informative then good for you. If I misunderstood your tone or intention, I apologize. I have read your original post several times and I still have not seen it being the "public service announcement" you say was intended, but again I may have misunderstood.
As for the post from two years ago, if anyone knows how to access threads older than a year i'd be happy to track it down. Until then, lets call it another misunderstanding.
Lastly, I would like to deviate from my critical theme and congratulate you on making a mature choice not to shoot the first basket rack you saw once you were aware you might go home empty handed. Too many hunters snap and shoot the first "saturday" buck they see because they feel the hunt isn't a success unless they kill something. I've witnessed guys shooting basket racks and not even taking the antlers home with them. Again, well done on sticking to your goals.
