LAST EDITED ON Oct-09-11 AT 09:41PM (MST)[p]Spoke with a friend who had a premium elk tag in Utah on one of the best units in the state and hired an outfitter ,one of the best and specifically told the outfitter and his guide he only wanted to shoot a 370 or better bull. On day 7 of the hunt his guide told him to shoot a bull that was definitely 370 plus. The bull was actually only in the 330- 340 range , he said he was shocked when he got up on the bull,he also said the guide was sick about misjudging the bulls score by that far off. The guide also had the hunter pass on a bull earlier in the week that was harvested by another hunter that was 384 another hunter in his camp harvested the bull and the guide told the hunter it was a 360 at best type bull. I told my buddy he should post the outfitters name so that the public would know and not use the outfitter in the future.
My buddy paid them thousands of dollars and still had the remainder of the rifle hunt and the muzzleloader hunt left. I told him to ask the outfitter for a refund . What do you think ? My buddy the hunter said he was not going to persue anything but I just don't think it's right ,you hire a guide and they should be professional enough to know an animals score within reason ,40 inches is not even close !! What do you guys think ?
