I can only assume you have not been on very many outfitted hunts.
The land we hunted had never been scouted. We pretty much hunted 4 hunters for 1 guide all week. When our guide told Kevin there were no Elk on the place we were hunting he just kinda shrugged it off. We spent 4 days setting by a fence listening to Elk on the next ranch over. 11 hunters in a camp that we were promised would not have over 6. When I asked him about it he told me they were repeat customers that came every year so he couldn't turn them down. I asked them about it and they said they had never been there before. Hauling my son to a bar and refusing to bring him back to camp was pretty much the deal breaker for me.
