"The s.o.b. stiffed me!"
"The bastard can't hit anything!"
"Did you see that guy's wife? . . . I'd like to take her out and........"
Well . . . just some of the "behind the scenes" comments.
I just know this area for what is expected of the guide due to the type of hunting here. It's tough sometimes. And if you do your homework and research an outfitter, you should do pretty good.
Around here you might be hunting above 10,000 feet, t-shirts in the morning / and snow boots by nightfall. The drought can really screw things up. Up and down terrain to get to and out of that honey hole.
An outfitter/guide will earn his tip in this country. I see hunting shows where the outfitter drives up on an ATV, dumps some grain and molassis on the ground, and waits for the hunter to call him on the radio when he gets his bear. I'm thinking the best tip you could give him is, "NEVER PET A BURNING DOG!"
