After a few years, F&W contacted me about an investigation into this guy - I cooperated and after seeing the outfitter's yearly reports, I could see that not only was I guiding clients in the wrong zone, but often he would have me listed as guiding clients that I had never even met!
I always assumed when I was guiding that the hunter had the proper tag in the proper zone, and that we always had permission to hunt the land we were on.
Boy, was I ever wrong!
Lesson learned

You never checked your hunters licenses to make sure everything was in order ?
That's lesson number one bud !!!
Not because you don't trust the outfitter, but just to make sure your hunter has everything with him.
The permission one has happened numerous times over the years, that's nothing new. Many times it was just a lack of communication. |
