RE: please check this out if you are going to use an outfitter!!
I you look back, yore gonna see I proposed goin' to references that thoroughly check ALL an outfitter' s clients. They send ' em all questionaires, then rate the outfitter. Now that' s fair. People got no idea how hard it is to run a huntin' camp. Organized chaos is what it is. Very thin margins an' lots of unknowns. In Wyoming, you don' t even know how many hunters you will have to fill your camp. 40 could draw, or 4. Makes it a lil' hard to guage costs, line up stock, feed, help, etc. Anybody wants to crusade agin' a outfitter needs to work a season with the feller. If you still think he' s a crook, then tell him so face to face. Don' t go trashin' him ahind his backside. Ain' t the way I was brung up. I went toe-to-toe with a outfitter several years back. He had a tip pool and when it came time to divide up the tips, he didn' t have it. Had been dippin' into the account to cover his costs. After our lil' discussion, I worked out the season with the guy, collected my money, an' never talked about it with anybody who wasn' t involved. In hindsight, I know the guy a lil' better now, he ain' t the mos' up an' up, but he' s human, an' in a hard business. Ain' t for me to run off his clients, mos' are happy with his camp anyhoo. I suggest y' all pull out yer bibles an' look up what was said ' bout throwin' stones an' such. Sewin' circle gossip ain' t right. Do it scientific or quit makin' pretenses ' bout yer manhood altogether. I reckin' they got innernet sites fer cross-stitchin' .
