One thing y' all are ignorin' are thet outfitters are an independent lot. Thet' s why they' re in the business they are. They don' t suck up to nobody, an' they ain' t about to worry about innernet sites an' whinny hunters. You take or leave them on their terms, not some city boy' s business standards. Some are old an' crotchety an' some are younger an' crotchety. Don' t think they' re made like yer average Walmart host, least I ain' t seed one like thet. You start makin' outfitters out to be business men, an' you' ll lose a lot of what makes a huntin' trip good. Competence ain' t allays gonna mean thet somebody is apt to be a service slave, or even a nice person for thet matter. That' s gonna piss some people off, jus' as sure as some small minority don' t like beaverjack. Give me a competent grouch anyday over a suck up dude with a $200 cowboy hat.
