Just got back from the hunt with IMB Outfitters in Missouri.I had a great time and the lodge was excellent. Home cooked meals every eveningafter the hunt was very good.
I did not score on a buck as they had a 130” minimum and thelargest I seen I’m guessing was right around 120”. I didn’t want to spend the750$ penalty for a smaller buck lol. Of the 9 that were in camp 3 shot bucks butall 3 were with the head guide which seemed to have the better properties toset “his” clients on. Out of the other 2 “new” guides and their 6 clientscombined the 120” deer I seen was the largest seen. I did shoot a doe but wasnot permitted to pursue it once it jumped the fence to where some youth gunhunters were hunting. The shot was a bit high but after following the blood I’mpretty sure it was a lethal hit.
My guide did all he could but being his first year there I thinkthey had limited knowledge of the area. This should get better in time.
There are a few other complaints that I have but I will keepthem to myself as overall I enjoyed myself and met a few new friends that Iplan to keep in contact with.
