Default RE: I'm Back from Alberta

I went on an elk hunt to Colorado this year and the guide did everything in his powerand then someto insure a succesful hunt. There were 8 of us in camp and although I did not harvest we took 4 bulls and a fine mule deer. The mule deer came at no extra cost as would have a bear if someone tagged ont on an elk and held a bear tag.How many guides would do this?This guide took us to different farms or leases if you will to continue our hunting provided we had a tag at no extra cost. He moved me quite a few times because he was concerned I wasn't seeing anything. My 7 day trip ended without me ever seeing a live elk or even hearing one bugle but I came away very pleased with no complaints. Had he acted like DD''s guide that might not be the story. This guide worked very, very hard to insure all 8 of us had the best chance to harvest. I feel DD's guide did not do this as per his story. His bashing(DD's) is unfounded and there is always too much of it on this site. If you don't have something positive to say whynot just say nothing. It's such a simple thing to do, takes no effort at all.
