Well said, AD. I'd like to throw in my two cents worth on this subject. I can't begin to tell you the number of guides/PHs/outfitters I've walked away from, or never responded to, for one simple reason: telling me how big an animal I'll shoot. IMO, if anyone promises me a certain size animal, I feel very strongly that 1. It's a canned, or small enclosure shoot, or 2. I'm having smoke blown up my butt. No guide/PH/outfitter, can guarantee the outcome of a fair chase hunt. I don't care who they are. They can't control the weather, vehicle breakdowns, game movements, the hunter's physical condition, etc. Likewise, they have no idea how well, or poorly a prospective client can shoot.

Now, the ones I've booked with haven't promised me the moon and the stars. They tell me that I'll be in an area where animals the size I'm looking for frequent. He promises a fair chase hunt. He promises a clean, comfortable camp with good meals, and plenty of clean drinking water. He promises that he and his staff will give me a 110% effort, and they will work as hard as possible to see that I'm successful, the rest is up to me.
