Not the first time I have heard such a story, sorry to hear very frustrating way to spend a season for sure.
Just went on 9 day drop camp with this Outfitter. Nice enough people but what a waste of time and money. We were first time clients so I guess we were 'dumped' into the 'Rookie' camp after just a 2 hour horse ride. Area where camp was, equipment provided,and area to hunt were all terrible. Not told where we were going or type of terrain until 5 minutes before we left. What a way to treat your clients. Would have been nice to hunt someplace where one did not hear the cars and trucks on highway 20. Even if we would have got a trophy mule deer, I would not use this outfitter again. No email,letter or phone call from outfitter before or after hunt. Payed for trip in full with cash at sportsman show last January. Not going with Early Winter Outfitting next year or ever again..........Priceless!Lessons learned; If outfitter tells you to bring tarps to put over tent, assume tent leaks with holes and tears in it. If told a shovel will be provided, ask if it comes with a handle and not just an old rusty shovel head. If told a lantern is provided, ask if it works or is it an old piece of junk. Ask if the camp will be on level ground or on a hill Ask for an exact camp location. I'm an idiot and here is the coordinates for our camp - 48 degrees 32.669'N / 120 degrees 23.978'W Google earth it and check it out. Just save your money, buy a good tent and equipment, and do it yourself
I would like to hear about the Chinook outfitters for the same kind of services,,,,ANYONE??
I have to say that I to have a little info on this outfitter. Not good. I have hunted with just about every outfitter in Washington and there is only a few that I would even think about going back to. Western life outfitters in the Blues is decent. Not allot of mulies but what is there are pretty good. Three Peaks outfitters are good people with great stock. Don't even think about Icicle outfitters what a joke.Remember that the last few years has not been real good for mule deer but they are starting to show. Make sure you always ask for references if you don't already. What where you hunting for any way?
