Back Country Outfitters in Pagosa Springs (Operated by Stone Pass Outfitters).

I drew an Elk 1st rifle at unit 77.

Curious how Backcountry Outfitters was?

I'm in good shape and considering the nomadic option vs. Drop Camp vs. DIY.

Open to any other guides or ideas.

Thanks!

Bad, they owe me and my 3 buddies our 3000$ deposits back from a hunt we booked for this fall and didn't draw. 12K we can't get back. I can't get a call back or anything! Do not send them any money.! If anyone from Stone Pass/Back Country Outfitters (Justin Frie) do read this, please call me-Shane Carignan 715-817-1573 to arrange to pay us back what we are owed. It is criminal what you call a guide service.

Is this for a drop camp type of hunt?

 

[Buck1972]

no, it was supposed to have been a muzzle loader guided hunt for 4 of us. We did not draw the kill tags. Now we can't get our deposits back. It is pretty bad business.

 

[ELKhunter49]

Yeah, that is a bad deal for sure man. Wonder if you have any recourse for them not refunding it.

 

[Buck1972]

We have been quite patient so far. We were supposed to be refunded in May at the latest. We are out 12K for the 4 of us. I have been trying to reach them but no luck. I did file a complaint with the state so other groups don't send these crooks their money. I knew better in the beginning but was pretty excited to go.

 

[ELKhunter49]

Would they let you drag it into an OTC rifle hunt maybe?

 

[Buck1972]

i wouldnt go with them either way? i dont trust them

 

[ELKhunter49]

Fair I don't blame you at all!
