    Axis Deer Texas

    I got my axis with Skyler Watkins at Blackwater Guide Service. Everything about the hunt was great! The guide will set with you or not that's up to you, but of course one sat with me because I'm a girl and it was my first so they wanted me to take a good one, and I did, he was 33". It was in the...

    What a nice offer! I appreciate that very much. Local intel being shared is invaluable! You’re blessed to live where you do. I love Alaska and all it has to offer is mind blowing. The hunt is in 20. Flying out of Tok with 40Mile. LB has been so incredibly helpful with local intel, he is imo one...

    I am locked in and ready to do this hunt now and anxious-excited as you can imagine. In my conversation with him I did not ask for a refund I had already decided not to before speaking to him after feedback here and because I knew it wasn't when I sent it. Fate and karma are real imo. I...

    It's been a year now and no refund was sent. I haven't pushed the issue at all. I knew it was non refundable so the offer was from the kindness of his heart. It just never happened.

    I did not. I've chosen another option for our hunt. Although he said he would refund the deposit he has not and I won't push the issue because that's just not me. $5000 lesson learned!! Hindsight I would push for more info BEFORE you give him any money. Ask about the pilot he makes you use (not...

    First rifle purchase - Left Handed

    It's amazingly accurate. Since day one of sighting it in it's been consistent, shooting a tight 1inch group at 100 and 200. I don't really shoot much past that (haven't had too). It's comfortable to shoot and is on the lighter side for trekking. The first LH gun was a Remington 243...I like this...

    Axis Deer Texas

    The timing is something to think about for sure. Some hunts are available in May and still in velvet and weather is pretty good then. I did my first one this past July (spot/stalk on 10k ac ranch) and it was an unusually hot (over 100° for 50ish days) but the animals were pretty active. I passed...

    Thank you! My post was to in Hope's of finding a good word or two about the pilot more than the planner but none found here either. I couldn't reach the planner bc he was out hunting/trapping for a couple of weeks. But it's all okay, I feel good about how it all turned out for everyone. BTW I...

    I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I wanted to close this post with the result of the question I asked and thank everyone who added input especially you LB, it was truly helpful. I had a great conversation with the planner I had to have a duck's back for few parts of it, and for whatever...

    Spot on! There's always that one right...once sat up on a guy saying he wasn't seeing any deer...he shot 3 times and missed, he didn't know I was 1000 yds away the whole time he was hunting and when I picked him up at dark he said he he didn't see anything..smh...I told him I heard 3 shots and...

    It is for sure! Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are on the detours you didn't plan to take.

    Good advice and much appreciated. As far as experience, I have zero experience doing this kind of hunt, but I have pretty decent outdoor, backcountry, and hunting skills and good health and a passion for it. Now I hope to get to have the experience. It's just this issue of only finding bad...

    I'm totally okay with the whole DIY aspect of the hunt, I've hunt my entire life, guided NTX hunts for several years and never been on a guided hunt myself...it's purely the trust issue...being led to believe a thing to find out once your money's gone it's another thing altogether. I don't...

    By mitigate I really meant, having plan B ready. I really want to call the transporter and talk to him but I am apprehensive only because it is so far out yet...I think you're right though and I should call now and establish the relationship...thanks for that advise. Not related to this thread...

    I did pay the deposit to secure the dates for the plane and raft and its nonrefundable. I think that I read some posts that mentioned some negs and got curious as to make the best if that happens to us...but then I also realized that I was only hearing a situation. I used to guide and I know you...

    First rifle purchase - Left Handed

    I am a LH shooter and spent my while life shooting rh guns. I bought my first LH, Savage 110 Storm 30.06 a few years ago and I shoot better than ever. It's also nice to stay on scope while clambering a new round.

    I am finally doing my dream hunt. I was in planning stages 13years ago with my husband, read LB's book, started talking to a native Alaskan family member who was going to join, but then we found out my hisband had cancer and the trip never happened and he passed on shortly after. Sooo fast...
