RE: Just got invited on a "management" hunt.
Guys I don't have my mind made up at all (assuming all the planets aligned, anyways). Just don't pass judgement on me, personally. I value your opinions on what YOU would do......but please put yourself, REALISTICALLY, in my shoes.

I'm doing over a $1M worth of work with this guy. I need him more than he needs me. I won't be rude.
gus...GR8...others....GREAT points. Thanks for your input.

Go for it. Sometimes one thing opens up doors for another.
ORIGINAL: GMMAT
Outfitter in OH......happens to have a side business that I contract with. JUST called and invited me on a hunt.....at "cost". We talk for a while....and he realizes I know enough not to sound dumb. I offer to do "management" hunt....and he says "no cost".....if I'll take a doe, too.
So....would this be something you would do? it goes back to my "restrictions" thread. I'll be hunting under his "restrictions".....but it'll only cost me an OH license.
I'm guessing I could possibly be looking at a 140"+ "management" deer if it pans out. LOTS of things would have to align.....but I think I'll do it if I get the chance. If nothing else....It would be cool to see a TRUE "monarch" on the hoof.....even if I had to just watch.

"GO" have a great time & enjoy the chance that many "WISH' they had.
Good Luck. I've been Bowhunting 51 years now & I have done "MANY" Bowhunts-I would jump on that in a min..
Like I said "GOOD LUCK" & have "FUN".

If it was my decision to make and I had business ties with him that really mattered that much and this could make things better, it's no brainer - go and have some fun.
Like you said he's got some other awesome monarchs to watch and you'll have a picture I bet of the caul buck to shot. A doe on top for the freezer is a bonus I'd shot the doe first then wait out the buck.
Consider it done if you need a substitute cause I'll volunteer to set in your place

Perhaps you would have been better off to keep this decision private Jeff. Tough crowd you're dealing with here. As far as doing what is right bawana, who made you the expert?

The business relationship complicates things IMO. You don't want to insult the man by simply saying no, but you have your standards and morals to consider.
That's a tough one Jeff.
