I do not recommend this outfitter

Absolutely the worst oufitter in the world. All he wants is your money. He arrived drunk to the airport to pick me up. His tent camp had literally no food (I ate powerbars I brought myself for two days), no bedding (I had to buy it myself). Tents were unheated and filled with trash and horsedung which he never cleaned up. He says he hunts 10,000 acres exclusively- ITS PUBLIC LAND! Other hunters were near all the whole time. NO GAME AROUND. Look at his websight- all pictures of game are 10 years old. He is a drunk imbecile that will steal your money and rape you blind. Ask him how many kills he had this year (2007)- AVOID this thief.

Was the outfitter notified of problems? - YES

Wow , What a liar.

This is the worst baby non hunter I have incountered in 40+ years of guiding & Outfitting.

He new the hunt was a horseback /tent camp hunt long before he arrived at my camp.

The week before he came up we were having horrendous winds that left my camp in a bit of turmoil, leaves in the tents & so on which was going to be my sunday job cleaning up camp & getting everything in order before his hunt was to start on the Monday.

First off he says I was drunk when I picked him up at the Airport on Sat. I haven,t had a drink before noon since I was 16 yrs old & everyone that knows me knows this to be a fact.

He was P Oed about something when he stepped off the plane so I asked him what was the problem & got no responce . Needless to say it was a pretty quiet ride to my camp .

When we did arrive at camp this guy turned his nose in the air & was a real pain in the ass as I explained to him about the bad winds & so on that we had the previous week & were still having some pretty good winds then as well . I showed him his NEW tent to put his things in & fed & watered my horses . Really pouting now & unresponsive to my queries as to his problem . He finally works up enough manhood to inform me he wanted to go back to the Airport.

I told him I wasn,t going to drive all the way back to the airport at that time of the day when I had horses in camp to watch over & that he had paid me to guide him on a hunt I was going to show him there was really good hunting in this zone .

As camp was in quite a shabbles from the wind & no cook in camp at the time to clean up I offered to take him to the Lodge only a few miles away for supper which understandably I paid for.

He is saying there was no food in camp . Outrageous. I had just finished a hunt with a real hunter that lived thru the wind storms & all . I had a new cook the week of the fella from the week before that quit cause she couldn,t handle the icelation ( we were 3 miles from the Lodge ,100 yds from a main forestry road ) so Thursday morning she quit & I took her to town .

This guy just laughed & said we can do this on our own so we did .

He helped me around camp ,feeding & watering my horses , cutting firewood ,filling his own tent with wood , cooking,got up in the mornings & was happy to be there & hunt a really good hunt zone .With the bad winds & being a bit early in our season he fully understood the chances at a big buck which he knew were there. He left a very nice note on the kitchen table that incourages me to think there is still some reall men out there yet that love the sport of hunting & just being in the outdoors for a nice vacation on horseback in some beautiful country.I showed the note to Eric but I don,t think he even read it . On the other hand this Eric I assume wanted a Lodge setting with thermostatic controled heating & the deer herded to the front porch to make an easy KILL. This guy is NOT a hunter by any stretch of the imagination.

My 5 yr old grandson has more sand than this pussy.

Sunday morning ( a day ahead of his hunt schedule ) I took him out just in the pickup to show him some of the country we would be hunting . Within a half hr I spotted a pretty good buck right by the road . He would hardly look at him . He would also have you believe he paid for an 8 day hunt . My hunts are all 6 day hunts as is said on my site ( Sound like fun so far guys )

It gets worse but I think all real HUNTERS get the idea. Fact is he came up to hunt but wouldn,t hunt. Theres no figuring some folks .The hunt was starting into prime rut as well .
