I have never gone on a guided hunt before; this May will be my first. I am going on an Axis buck hunt and have literaly done 2 months of research on all of the different outfitters. I have learned that there are allot of dishonest outfitters out there, advertise one thing and tell you another as to whether it is the price of the hunt, average size of trophy, quality of facilities or the conduct of the hunt. It would seem that too many outfitters are only concerned with the money that can be made instead of the enjoyable memories that can be made. I have found that the best research for hunts is forums like these and word of mouth.
