I would go on every hunting forum I could find and post his name and outfit and tell everyone to beware!!!!!!

RE: When a guided hunt falls apart... experience?
 

I've been DIY for 10 years and this story confirms it is the best way to go. I never disappoint myself.

There are a few hunts I'd like to do someday that will likely require an outfitter, but you can bet I'll make many calls before I commit.

Sounds like my bivy camp setups are more elegant than that rathole.

My experience with guides has been fantastic, only two. a guy named Tschetter in Pierre, SD for pheasants (he was good) we stayed in hotel and met him each day and Terry Woods from Ontario. The Woods family was great, excellent meals, lots of bears, took us fishingafter we shot our bears, it's the only hunt where Igained weight, food was great. Lorna got paranoid when I skipped breakfast one morning, I was too full from supper the night before....
