idgaf Report post Posted September 5, 2015 As a neutral third party observer that has never met any of the parties involved, never had a buffalo tag(14 points), never set foot on the northern kaibab. What the heck happen to this forum? In my day job I am paid to spot trends and it looks like the last several posts have some form of propaganda to them. I am sure the gentlemen guiding is a great guy and does a lot to help the non paying hunters but he is still a guide that gets paid by the success of his clients. By helping the other hunters he is entering into a win/win situation. He knows where the other hunters are and can place his paying customer in the place that gets him the best opportunity. That being said, if/when I draw a tag and choose not to use his services does that make me a bad person. Personally I want to hunt buffalo not sit in tent waiting for them. Hunting success is not as important to me as hunting experience. Or what if I want to use one of the other quality buffalo guides. Last I checked the kaibab is still public land, right? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russd Report post Posted September 6, 2015 All the main spots buffalo come out have licks and blinds. I liken it to the north/south Korean border... The buffalo have little chance of getting out of the park alive. do what you want its your hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoghntr Report post Posted September 9, 2015 Sounds like while lot of conflict of interests going on in buff world. I think it's interesting how guys/guides will put in with / use people with high bonus pts to obtain tags like unit 9 bull or strip muley tags. Using their expertise/Salt licks to influence others to allow them a opportunity at a tag they have not earned by waiting their turn. Yes there is a reason they harvest strip bucks and big bulls so often. L.O.L. Dont think I know Russ so not commenting on him I'm just piggy backing this thread a bit wondering what in the world is happening to the satisfaction of the hunt??
