Hi Group members
Me and my 2 26, 28 sons Booked a Hunting trip through HUNTIN FOOL (to get some vetting of outfitter) with Bitteroot Outterfitters in ID ZONE 17.This was booked through Huntin Fool. We had 7 tags 2 Elk, 3 Mule, 3 Wolves. In 6 days of hunting with them we saw 0 shootable animals NOTHING. That is 2 separate groups 6 days we saw NO SHOOTABLE animals. I know this is hunting but statistically is it?? $30k later and with my 40 yrs of deer hunting experience I knew right away something was off. We had to remind them we are hunting primarily ELk not Mule repeatedly even after a first day meeting with guides to discuss our priorities. We went back into the same areas with limited or no sign over and over which we questioned with guide. I would stay away from them in favor of another more experienced outfitter. (This is my OPINION) Outfitter didn’t do recent scouting and had no ability to make a move to other locations due to newness of guides and there where to area.
