So here it is in a condensed version: I booked a moose hunt for my son through an outfitter in Canada that a few friends of mine have used. My son's only wish the last few years was to go Moose hunting. I made arrangements that we would go for his senior year and a pre-mission Father/son bonding. This trip was supposed to take place first week of November.
Well I just got an email saying that the guide (25 yr old) was helicoptered out of a hunt area in BC and needs a kidney transplant. The outfitter can not find another guide to take us out. He seems to be honest and is sending back some of my money and holding the rest for a deposit for after my son gets home from his mission.
Of Course he is a little disappointed but, we have talked and his next "dream hunt" would be a Texas exotic ( undecided as of now) and a few days to catch bass. He has been fishing quite a bit this last year and has enjoyed that hobby. So my questions are:
1. Can anyone recommend an Texas ranch that may fit that bill. I am sitting down and starting to do my own research tonight but if I could get some personal input I would appreciate it.
2. Besides Texas, any other thoughts on places to go that may fit the bill?
Over the last 2 years I paid 6K for his moose hunt and me as a guest and I'll be getting 3k back at this time with the rest being held as a deposit for a future hunt. I'll have to stay somewhere around that price point. Thanks,
