I've not been on a guided hunt so I wonder how the guide would react if he passed?
Would it be a "I'm okay with you passing as long as we recognise this is a shot opportunity and you had a chance"
Or would the guide be upset they had to work harder when it could have been done easily that first day?
To be clear- he was happy and thankful for the opportunity to take the moose. It was more of a looking back thing, he still wished he had that "adventure" type hunt that he had dreamed of.
He even mentioned that he considered paying to go on a Backcountry trip but not hunting. But just had never done it. And time got away from him and he figures he's too old now.
