I don't post much on these forums and I know nothing about elk hunting so I'm looking at this as objectively as I can.
First of all, I'm not strong enough to use a bow that could make a 45 yard shot. My husband could do it, but maybe the wind was strong that day.
Elk are found in the woods here in Michgan, but I don't know how it goes out there in the West.
The mixup about arrival times? Well people can screwup on stuff like that.
The cook's drunk boyfriend? Well a girl can't always be responsible for her dummy boyfriend.
But there is one element that I don't think was given enough attention, the overflowing potties. Reading about those potties, were I planning on an elk hunt would definitely, cause me to cross this outfitter off my list. I've relieved myself in the woods when necessary, but if I'm using a potty, it had better be clean.
Unlike us sheep, she's fussy about stuff like that
