I do not recommend this outfitter

I agree with pete and i dont even know him! Food was poor,tree stands were very uncomfortable,poor treestand location,brian my guide took me to my morning location then i returned to the cabin at lunch and it was raining i told brian if it was going to pour that i was not going back out. Brian said, that if we decided to go to give him a call. Well, it stopped raining so we called and he was taking a nap and would not get up, so another guide had to take us out. I went the end of Oct. I saw some doe, and one 4 point, I did stay in my tree stand all day for 2 days during my hunt, it did not make any difference the deer were not there. When i met Brian he told me that He would do everything that he could do to put me on a deer! How is it possible to check trail cameras and look for other signs of deer when he was hunting, while i was in my stand. I would like to state that this is all true! I did everything I was told to do and everything a hunter can do! I trusted Mike and the things on his web sight that I would have a good experience and that was not the case! When you pay for a hunt the last thing you want is for your guide to be hunting when he should be doing everything in his power to put you on some buck! The night before I left I saw Mike the owner and he never even asked me if I had a good experience with Trophy Hunts. I did not hunt the final morning because a bad storm was moving in so I left. I am not writing this because I did not bag a big buck, only because, it was just many things that simply made it a bad experience!

Was the outfitter notified of problems? - NO

Outfitter's Response
Disagree

Hey Herm thought you said you did know Pete..Nice try. once again here you go AS OUTFITTERS we should be able to rate hunters. Some of them are just un-guideable as is the case with HERM ARMSTRONG . HERM is a self proclaimed expert at Deer hunting and did not think that i had any experience in the area that he hired us for. although he had no knowledge of the Deer and patterns and behaviors of deer in my area. even though HERM himself made many mistakes as we all do ( Like NOT STAYING IN THE WOODS HUNTING instead of coming out of the woods all the time ). I do have a record of past hunts and clients in these areas and other and have never had any bad experiences with clients or the ability to harvest deer. Take this for what it is worth to you and thank you for allowing me to write a reply. If you want to follow up with my track record or operation please check my website or you can even call some of my clients. thanks, sincerely, Trophy Hunts Unlimited Outfitting www.TrophyHuntsUnlimited.com 270-206-0577
