Fellow sportsmen:
I just got a call from a guy who was really angry. He accused me of working with George Taulman, and of doing Arizona big game hunts for him.
Well, he is wrong, and I'd like to straighten it out for him and anyone else who has heard that trash.
First of all, I'm Don Martin and I own/operate Arizona Wildlife Outfitters, out of Kingman, AZ.(928-681-4867) I've been an outfitter/guide in Arizona since 1987.
This guy has me confused with AMERICAN WILDLIFE OUTFITTERS who are located in Flagstaff, AZ (928-527-9423).
The owners of that outfit, according to their website (www.awohunts.com) is Gary "Goose" Howell and Dave Willie.
The confusion stems from the fact that the boys at AMERICAN WILDLIFE OUTFITTERS are guiding for George Taulman and USO and have been doing so apparently for some time! Mr. Howell just guided a non-resident for USO on a sheep hunt in Unit 15D, where by the way, I was guiding the other non-resident sheep hunter. I never met them as they were done on opening day and my hunter didn't get there until the fourth day.
I sure don't want to start no pi$$ing match with anyone, but folks ought to get their facts straight, and not get the original AWO confused with the "other" AWO.
I never have guided for George, and as many who know me will attest, am an outspoken critic of him and his actions in regards to hunting in Arizona (and the West).
George is motivated by money, pure and simple, and to say he really cares about our natural resources, well it just isn't true! Just read his lawsuit and see what he makes his claim on, not hunting as a recreational sport, but the selling of animal parts!
Anyway, just wanted to set the record straight and stop the B.S. before it really gets out of control.
