cherokee, got to ask. Will you not help them find another animal if there is ample time in the week or however long duration the hunt is? I have met some great outfitters that will try to help you have a good time no matter what. They really have an eye out on who might come back and who probably don't. Then I have met outfitters that are looking at the pocketbook the whole time. Cutting every penny they can. They usually don't stay in business long. A good outfitter will have some common sense to evaluate certain situations differently. Like if a guy had not spotted much game, they would take that into consisderation. Or how good of a shot the guy is.

I had a guide tell me to take a shot that was over 700 yards. And considered that "my tag filled". Bullcrap, I passed. We argued about it, and he went back to camp telling everyone that I passed on a 350 yard moose. I evenually did fill my tag. My way. Reason I considered it 700 yards was my leupold was cranked up to 14 power and from top to bottom of the moose filled that little space on scope made for crude yardage estimates. Well past 500 yards. Some guides are the best hunters I have ever seen, and I test them regularly on estimating distances. Most, I just don't know.
