Overall Impression: POOR

WE HUNTED WITH D&G OUTFIITERS ON JAN. 99 ON A THREE DAY HUNT AND SEEMED TO BE IMPRESSED WITH THERE LODGE SO WE BOOKED A HUNT FOR THE 99 SEASON IN NOVEMBER FOR A WEEK. WE HAD CALLED AHEAD DURING THE SUMMER TO GET UPDATES ON HOW THE DEER HERD WAS LOOKING, BUT TO OUR AMAZEMENT WE COULD NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH ANYONE AT THE LODGE TO GET ANY INFO. AFTER CALLING A FELLOW HUNTER THAT WAS AT THE LODGE ON OUR HUNT IN JAN. HE HAD TOLD ME THE SAME THING, HE COULD NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH ANYONE EITHER. WELL FINALLY A GUIDE NOT THE OWNER WAS FOUND, AND EVERYTHING LOOKED ON THE UP AND UP GOOD INFO. ON THE DEER HERD. SO MYSELF AND TWO OTHER FRIENDS WAS EXCITED AND READY TO GO ON OUR TROPHY HUNT OF A LIFETIME. WE WAS TOLD THERE WOULD ONLY BE SIX PEOPLE AT THE LODGE NO PRESSURE ON THE DEER TO OUR AMAZEMENT WHEN WE PULLED UP AT THE LODGE TWELEVE HUNTERS WAS THERE READY TO GO AND TWO HAD CANCELLED. THERE WAS TEN TO FOURTEEN HUNTERS LEAVING WHEN WE PULLED UP FROM THE WEEK BEFORE. WE SEEN A FEW DOES AND ONE SPIKE BETWEEN THE THREE OF US. WE SAT DOWN WITH THE GUIDE RUNNING THE LODGE BECAUSE THE OWNER WAS NOT THERE THE WEEK WE SCHEDULE AND EXPLAINED TO HIM WE WERE NOT HAPPY. HE THEN TOOK US TO SOME LAND 30 MILES FROM THE LODGE WALKED US AROUND A 1000 ACRE SOYBEAN FIELD THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN CUT WITH NO BEANS IN IT AND SAID YOU CAN HUNT ALL THIS. WITH NO DIRECTION WE HEADED OUT. ONLY DOES SEEN. THEN I HAD THE PLEASURE OF HUNTING OVER A GREEN FIELD WITH A POND NEXT TO IT WITH A DEER CARCASS FLOATING IN IT. THE GUIDES WOULD DRIVE YOU TO THE STANDS IN A TRUCK AND I MEAN DRIVE YOU RIGHT TO THE TREE. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WALK 5 YARDS TO GET IN THE STAND. THESE STANDS HAD TO MUCH PRESSURE ON THEM OVER HUNTED. WHEN ASKING THE GUIDES THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO KNOW THE MOVEMENT OF THE DEER WHERE DO WE NEED TO HUNT IT WAS ( THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PLACE)I DO NOT MIND DOING MY ON SCOUTING AND PUTTING UP MY OWN TREE STANDS BUT WHEN I PAY OUT MY OWN MONEY FOR A GUIDED HUNT I EXPECT FOR THE GUIDES TO HAVE ALL THIS WORK DONE FOR ME AFTER ALL THIS IS WHAT I PAID FOR RIGHT. THE LODGE ITSELF AND THE MEALS WERE SATISFACTORY BUT IF I WANTED TO GO SOME WHERE TO EAT AND SLEEP I WOULD HAVE GONE TO DISNEY LAND! OVER ALL THE HUNT WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. AND THATS ALL I GOT TO SAY ABOUT D & G OUTFITTERS.
