If that irritated you, you may want to rethink the "guide" lifestyle. My best friend is a guide, in Mexico right now, and he can tell you that working with people hunting can be far worse than that. Gut shots, misses, shooting the wrong animals, bad attitudes, etc all make for the more frustrating days than the one you had. When I hunted with him in Alberta, one of the hunters actually shot a huge mulie in the rump. I mean the deer was facing away from the hunter, hard cross wind and shot it at about 60yrds. The mulie was shot 4" down and 3" to the right from its "brown eye". It ran off and laid down, luckily the guide watched it all and continued to watch the deer for another 6 hrs before it expired. Things like that are not everyday occurances, but they happen fairly often. Then you have the rich guys that think that you owe them because they paid for the hunt, not realizing that it's a hunt and there are no guarantees.
