Not what it was supposed to be, dis-reguard consul

Six day hunt in Alberta by boat on the Yates River. Used a consultant and was told the guides were boots on the ground. Never scouted after a server winter of up to nine feet of snow on the Yates. Was told only five permits per year were being drawn to protect the quality of the hunt. Visiting with the guide who were very good, we figured over this and last year 16 permits were drawn. Up to the last week and last two hunters only 4 Moose had been killed over the 2 year period. Myself with my Indian guide saw 10 Moose all cows in 6 days. The other hunter from Oregon saw 20 Moose with his Indian guide, all cows. An archer had a chance at one bull on the 7th day but was shielded by the cow and he did not shoot. It wasn't a large bull by what he could see in the bush. This was a peak rut hunt and my guide and myself had one bull grunt 3 times in 6 days. Yes hunting conditions can change from year to year but scouting is what it is all about. If consultants representing the guides would require them to show the hunter the animal being hunted and a reasonable chance for a shot or refund 75% of the money paid, outfitters would do their job. We the paying hunter all risk is on our shoulders. Tired of all the B.S., glowing pictures, success B.S. and covering their butts by consultants. If I am contacted I will reveal the consultants used by myself and the Oregon hunter. Don't book with any outfitter who will not furnish a list of all hunters, last season, in his camp hunting the animal you are signing up for. Do more home work than I did, it your money. My son was a none hunter $2,600 for him and he had no cot and had to sleep on the tent floor. Four cots for the cooks and 2 hunters but not him. His tote got left at the wrong camp and it took them 3 days to get his needed clothing back to our camp. No spring and summer scouting, just set up camp and hope for results. You might get a discount booking thru a consultant but believe me these guy's will cover their guide represented at all costs. Investigate before you invest, or you might come home with pretty pictures!!

Reviewer Comments: We where lied to and told we would be moved into the Caribou and they did move some of us(a group of 10) and the hunting wasn't any better. They split up the group before the hunt even started after we had booked into a spike camp causing some hard feelings. We where told there would be a rifle in camp to use(we were bowhunting) for wolves or wolverine. We got one on the 3rd day only after demanding one. We where told the guides would have spotting scopes, they did'nt. We where told the fishing would be excellent, it was terrible. We where told at first when they moved us that we would have to pay extra for the move. That was never mentioned in the paper work. We didn't have to pay for the move,but only after some debate. I do not recommend this outfitter because there are to many loop holes in their stories. Management just does not have it together!!! BEWARE!!!!!!
