Good luck on your Hunt and I hope you kill a giant!
Greg Krogh
Thank You Greg (luckynvhunter). I spoke to Steve last night; I've been spending a bunch of time at the hospital as my mother-in-law is pretty sick. I wanted to make make sure I took care of booking with him early even though I don't know which unit (9 or 3C) ill be hunting, so we've been playing phone/text/email tag and the the first thing he always asks about is are how things are going with the family, and never ends a phone call without saying I'll say prayer for her and your family.
You know, more than anything I'd love to kill a smoker bull and I'm preparing extra hard to do so, but you know I've not met Steve personally and I know already this hunt will be special because I'm pretty sure I can tell what kind of guy he is... he wrapped up up our conversation telling me how excited he was for me drawing this hunt and it will be a special experience.
All this to say, I've hunted with less humble outfitters/guides that made you feel like they were doing you a favor and as quick they could get you tagged out the better, one guide told me everyday the amounts of past tips and how much one should tip and how many tightwads he had guided. I saw great bulls during those 5 days but never took one and it was one of the worst hunts I ever had. I think with Steve it'll be all about hunting and talking about things that really matter, whether I hunt with him or one of his guides I'm looking forward it! Good luck to you too man!
