Best way to evaluate a hunt/outfitter/camp that I can think of!
I'd like to share something that I've discovered in my years of hunting. If you want to get a good idea of what kind of deer camp/outfitter/guide that you wil be hunting with it all boils down to one thing. Ask for them to send you a picture of the meat pole. It's really that simple. No meat pole means they ain't planning on killing much. If they won't send you a pic of the meat pole, run far away. Now if they tell you they got a winch on the headache rack of their truck and they take it straight to the local butcher that is an acceptable answer but ask for a pic before you plan on hunting with them. This counts as a meatpole. I also hunted with an outfitter who had a person in camp who's sole job was meat care. That also is a slam dunk and counts as a meat pole.
I've spent lots of time and even more money developing this theory.
My buddy went on a hunt with an outfitter that was recommended by a famous outdoor tv show and guess what, no meat pole and no kill. Locals said he hadn't killed but one deer since the 70's.
REVIEW: Ask for a pic of the meat pole if you want to get a good idea of how the hunt will work out!
