Hunter Comments

Im not sure where to start when it comes to this hunt.First off we where told there would be 6 hunters in camp on any given week with a max of 8 and there was 15 hunters in camp when we showed up.I was pissed off in the first ten minutes of being there.Jerry had told us when we booked the hunt at the Worcester Fishing and Hunting Expo that we were the only ones booked for that week.Our group had 6 hunters and he set us up in this old mobile home that i didnt even have enough room to put down my travel bag with clothes never mind my hunting bag.The headquarters that is shown on the website certainly isnt that piece of shit camper.Some of the areas that we hunted where so over hunted it wasnt even funny.There where certain repeat customers that got the better sleeping headquarters and hunted on the prime lots the whole week long while our group was rotated around like a merry go round. In the week of hunting i didnt see one buck.Not one.I saw 5 does all week.We were told that it was fine to shoot does if we would like.The second night of the hunt i hit a doe and it looked like a gut shot so they decided to wait until the next morning.The guide said he and a helper of his would stop by a couple hours early to help me search seeing it went down into some thick stuff and i wouldnt want to go walking around aimlessly.He didnt reply to me the next morning when i was expecting help and i needed to do it my self.That was the moment that i saw what this outfit was about. Money-Money-Money They could give two shits if i found my deer or not.I found the deer own my own by sheer luck seeing it didnt leave a blood trail.Jerry didnt say one peep when we loaded the deer into the truck.I could tell he was upset that i was taking money off his bottom line for deer processing.They actually forgot one of your hunters in the woods one of the nights.Your guy had to call to see when he was going to be picked up and they said "Your still in the woods".Almost forgot that the sheets and comforter that was on my 1948 cot where both blood stained. A father and son from PA had to stay in the main tv room-lodge because he had so over booked.They had no toilet to use and where told if they had to go at night to go into the other hunters cabin. Are you kidding.Walking into a strangers cabin at 2 am to shit.The father ended up shitting in the woods at 3 am.They were setting up guys in gun blinds and a few of the guys had chances for shots and couldnt shoot a bow in the small gun blinds.I had to turn down numerous stand due to the lack of cleared shooting lanes.The one good thing they have going for them is there guide Jeff.Very helpful and fun to be around but it was to much other shit going on for him to overcome. The problems werent just with us.Three guys from Brooklyn,Ny left 2 days into the hunt and atleast 3 of the other hunters in camp will not be going back.I know for sure your group of 6 wont be going back. Not bad 12 out of 15 not coming back.That comes out to a 20% return rate for the week.He made his money off of us so he doesnt care. This was the first of these type of hunts i have been on in 25 years of bowhunting.It was a learning experiance and i should have researched a site such as this for guide ratings and reviews.

Was the outfitter notified of problems? - NO
