My preference for the last several years is not to watch hunting and fishing shows. Why can't you take clients from other outfitters? Business is business, do you think GM worries about taking business from Ford? There is nothing from stopping you from notifying clients that you have guided that you are now outfitting unless you have a contract that says you can't do it. Every day people who were employees open their own business and take the clients they dealt with when working for an employer with them. Companies take employees and clients from other companies all the time It may sound hard but contrary to what the liberals are trying to sell, life is a competition, a war, there are winners and losers and some never get off the beach.
