SafariHunt,

The group that I work with has clients that are paying $750-$1000US a day that could go a week without shooting but they know before they come how difficult the hunt is. That stated, there was only one hunter last season that didn't connect. He had the opportunities(3) but didn't make the shots. He just rebooked for next season. It boils down to the clients expectations and what the PH or guide can provide. On the flip side of the coin, I know of a hunter, last season, that booked with an outfitter that told him the sheep hunt in the Brooks wasn't "difficult" but wasn't told "difficult as compared to what?". He arrived in camp and wasn't physically able to walk to the first mountain, much less 6 miles up the drainage to spike camp. He ended up killing a wolf just outside the main camp. Not hardly what he paid for. Clients perceptions are based on the information they obtain from their PHs or guides. If they're unhappy paying $300/day and not shooting for three days, I would imagine that they thought it would be a bit different based on information gleaned from somewhere. Hunting is just that: hunting. On a real hunt, there should be no guarantees other than that you will hunt hard and, after hunting hard, you, hopefully, will be in a position to take the animal you're after. This is by no means a knock on you or your abilities. I'm just a bit "old school" and believe you get out of it what you put in it. I'm sure you'll be very successful at your new venture.

Joe
