RE: Lodge Ideas?
Lots of stuff goes into going from a new guide service to being sought after. Too many to mention here. However here are a few that I consider paramount...
No.1 in my book ... never, evermisrepresent the "hunt". Word get out that what you are saying about the game and chances is bogus and you are toast.
Make sure your guides know what the heck they are doing ... and can manage a wide range of client skills and personalities.
Have an good, tested out emergency plan in the event of a medical emergency.
Make sure that you sit with the group before the hunt and throughly discuss all issuessuch as - safety expectations, meal times, injured animal policy,"trophy fee", etc.
If you are going to house folks, make sure the "camp" is more than adequate in every way.
