Stuttgart guided hunt

No refund but I would not tip.

Paid $160 per person to hunt this morning. Me and 3 buddies. The guide couldn't call to well, we didn't even get to shoot at a duck... Should we be asking for a refund?

This shite drives me up the wall. Bet you a dollar to a dime that he didn't scout the area very well. He got lazy and hunted the same ole place. Trust me, its easy to do.

Look, I used to guide. There were shitty days when I wouldn't see a duck in the sky. It happens. Ducks can be like ghosts and disappear over night, but he shouldn't have taken a full fee.

I'm going in January and it is 300 a gun, I have a bad feeling my hunt will turn out much like yours. Bad thing is we have already paid for both days.

Our guide kept falling asleep in the blind. We hunted with Megabucks in Jones, La.

Johnny was probably tired out from chasing skirts the night before.

$160/man is pretty cheap



Didn't realize that was cheap. Haven't paid a guide in ions. If that is pretty cheap then it sounds like some slack arse trying to under cut other guides.

Kinda looks like you got what you paid for.

Dont feel bad...Friend of mine's company has thousands of acres around there leased and he basically doesn't go because it is so sporadic. DU is a great org except for the fact that they have created so much refuge and feeding grounds up north, not as many birds "need" to come this far south to get what they need. Unless you get many big freezes in the mid-mdiwest, there just is no reason for them to continue south.

Again, he can go at any time he desires and hasn't been in 2 years. That should tell you alot.

USFWS creates an awful lot of refuges......DU doesn't create many...

but your theory is on.. combined with no till farming... has significantly changed migration patterns..

and add to this the 400% increase in hutning pressure in the dakotas...duck hunting has changed...

oh and the fact that many young ducks are taken early in the season as they are very gullible for spinners.

ask anyone that hunted near geuydan or klondike what it was like in the late 70s and early 80s... compared to now...

hunting pressure and migration patterns change.. by habitat influences...LOOK canada geese USED To use the marsh on the east coast...

I'm going hunt public land up there next week. I'm poor though

Bachelor party?
