Get references ........successful clients as well as those who DIDN'T take an animal from LAST YEAR.
This is absolutely necessary!! Get a complete list, check'em, check some more, Ah heck check'em all. See how all their stories line up. Never just talk to one reference!
Another thing if the outfitter hesitates on giving you a complete list or is too busy blowing his own horn. Mark him off.
Do you research on areas. Find the area that consistently produces the kind of Bulls you are interested then check the outfitters in that area.
