Oh crap.... stole my thunder.

I've only been on one and that was an online contest win to PA for whitetails. I arrived at the appointed time. He said, "What are you doing here? You're suppose to come next week". About that time all the other winners and sponsors showed up. We were all wrong.... NOT. He didn't have heat to our cabins and we were told all bedding would be supplied. We had to carry our own cots to the unheated cabins and put on the one set of sheets and one Army blanket. It was below 30 and they hadn't finished insulating the cabins. Always prepared Dave had thrown in a minus 30 sleeping bag just in case. I had to loan a new set of smart wool to a sponsor so he wouldn't freeze. A head count as we were about to leave for the first mornings hunt at 0400 revealed the outfitter didn't have enough stands up. Always prepared Dave had thrown in a climber just in case. We'd been told all stands would be in place and were selected after extensive scouting. The male contest winner ... ME... saved the day by saying, point me to a woods and drop me off. I saw more deer and passed on several bucks during the 4 day hunt than all the rest together. After the first day I told him where I was going and to come and look for me if I wasn't out by 9. No one shot a deer. Some saw none. I guess you'd say I was less than impressed. The food was great. I froze my butt off every night until I got in my sleeping bag. The guide was an outlaw that had no clue. He just owned some land and had some access to other.

Does that mean that weight gain is open territory. LOL...

David, I went to quote your weight gain and accidently edited your thread. I had to back up, copy and paste your original thread to return your writing. My apology that is why you'll see my edit here.
