Buddy of mine used them (WTA) through Cabelas about 4 years ago to book a last minute pronghorn hunt in WY & had a blast. He shot a real nice goat . I'm guessing Cabelas screens the outfitters somehow as they're partners and prob. wouldn't want to partner w/ crappy outfitters. I'm also guessing Cabelas takes a sm. cut of the referrals too. Still wouldn't hurt to ask about references & do a Google search on the outfitter if you can find out their name before booking but I'm not sure if you can.
