I have two sons that are busy in life, much like the country song
Cats in the Cradle, by Harry Chapin that repeats “just like you dad”. I would like them to hunt with me at least once before ….. you know… I can’t do it anymore. I don’t think I have time to guilt them into a hunt this year but by the Fall of 2013 I should have them convinced.
To that end, I would like to find an “outfitter” that can accommodate us on a bird hunt of some type and not break the bank in the process. I do not have a dog but my hunting partner did, so I am familiar with hunting with them and will want my sons to experience the same. Maybe I can get them involved and get them to start hunting?
I was going to ask the readers here for recommendations of guided hunts but decided to start a thread where we can post our experiences with guide services or hunting lodges. I think it would be wise to avoid any negative comments, so let’s stick with the old adage “if you can’t say something good, don’t say anything at all”. I think it would be nice if someone posts about a place that they have attended and you were there too and concur with their positive evaluation to say so too, that way we can see if lots of people like it or just one. The more that concur about a place, the less need for any negative comment, the good ones will stand out strong.
Some things that would be nice to learn would be:
- · Their name and location with contact information.
- · What they specialize in.
- · Accommodations, lodging, food, dogs, licenses, game processing, Etc.
- · Relative costs/value.
- · Your experiences while hunting there.
