Outfitters.... Doing ALL the work

[Deep Forks]

Years ago, when hunting bear with hounds was legal. I knew a guy that brought clients in and they sat at the bar in the Cashmere, Peshastin & Dryden areas while he treed a bear of their description. Then he made the call and they would come  up and shoot the bear. He said he didn't mind due to the fact, most of them couldn't keep up him him and the hounds anyway. He said "It all pays the same".

Wow, hunted this area for close to 50 yrs. with hounds, without and over bait and never heard of this.  All I can say is wow, cause the clients want to be in on the hunt. IMHO

I hope this outfitter is not out of Forks...  My buddy hunted with this guide for two seasons but both times he was too fat and out of shape to get close to the elk during rifle season,  so he made it his goal to archery hunt 2012 with the outfitter and busted his ass losing over 100lbs and getting into the best shape of his life,  (he is 49 yo).  well as the year went by the outfitter called multiple times asking for more money to by new equipment,  knowing the guy from previous hunts he didn't think twice about sending a total of $2500.  Well Sept. rolled around my buddy got to Forks and found out from the guides family that he was hooked on meth and living in Oregon  ... lost all his money!  He was in contact with the guide the whole time like nothing was ever wrong
