If you have a hard case I would have him pack that in with the bow to base camp atleast you would have a nice safe place to store your bow while in camp.
He won't do that either.
Ask the outfitter how many years he has been guiding bow hunters?
Done that - since 85, I have also personally talked face to face with the head bow hunting guide.
Ask for a reference list of bow hunters that have hunter with him. Then call all of them.
Done that, they all said not to worry about it.
As you can tell this was one area that I was a little concerned with, that is why I am trying to find out some info and ideas. I have experience with horses so riding is not very new to me. But I am trying to think of a way to keep my bow as safe as possible with what I have to work with.
As you have mentioned Wolf, I am planning on bringing an extra string, serving material, portable press, etc with me on the trip.
This is directly from the Outfitters Web-Site:
We have found that the best way to pack bows into a camp is to have the hunter carry his/her bow with a sling. Do not plan to bring your bow case into your pack-in camp. Most of the popular bow cases aren’t sturdy enough to be tied down to a pack mule. So, pack your spare bow equipment in your duffel bag.
