Hello,
If some of you have read my other posts then you already know that I thirst for the information that any man woman or child that lives out west probably already knows.
I am only from PA and have never hunted out west. I have never used the services of a guide nor do I know what or how to book a hunt. That being said, " will someone explain to me about the actual contractual process. Are they going to provide several different areas for you to hunt, and pick you up at the end of the day so you can eat back at the lodge or drop camp? Like they do in the Midwest? OR is this completely different with no road or highway access to hunting areas?
Do guides and hunters live in the same camp for the duration of the hunt?
How does the state get involved and determine how many animals should be harvested out of any one Wildlife management unit?
My actual screen name should have been PA Greenhorn, as I am wondering if because nobody is naming names about the "$11000.00 Father /son disaster", if there are many instances where money changed hands and promises were made and nothing was delivered. I would like to think that men will not allow other men to be taken advantage of without knowing that they were. So why is this other guy not divulging names?
Are contracts actually signed with statements in them promising big deer? The wording of the contract is the man's ( outfitter's) undoing. Court cases are simple if the outfitter was dumb enough to put it in the contract. However, if the outfitter was talking trash without having success prior to this season, it sounds as though, sadly, father and son were sold a pig in a poke.
Does only one outfitter have access to any given unit on a yearly basis? How does the state profit from these bids or units deer population other than in selling the tags, licensing the outfitters and managing the area for habitat?
Anybody can respond, and it would be great to hear any answers that I may not have asked enough questions about, since I am so new to this whole thing.
Thanks,
Scott
