PSA: Horox Outfitters

[tdhanses]

Wow amazing the comments in this thread, I bet any of you would pay him millions if his skills could save your child or other loved one?

How many of you went through 8 years of school and 2-4 years of residency to gain a very valuable skill set? He did and it pays well for a reason? Would you let a carpenter or auto mechanic cut into your family members to save a dime? You can go down to Mexico and get cheap medical every day of the week, don’t complain if you regret the decision to save a buck though.

I can’t afford to spend this kind of cash but I’ll never knock those that can, good for them and sucks he had such a bad experience.

That guy is a scammer..accidentally, my friend booked him and we went for 3 days and saw no elk... we pay for 6k on a semi hunt...

"Maybe I'm wrong, but I think anyone on here would rather be stalking a 350+ bull vs. a raghorn"

I'll stalk whatever bull gives me a chance. Whether it be a big bull or a spike. Meat is meat.

OP I am curious about the pricing breakdown as well. Was a significant portion of the 21k represented as the LO voucher?

Maybe I missed that earlier in the thread.

Almost all human conflicts can be boiled down to one of two issues.

1. Unreasonable or unmet expectations.

2. Poor or non-existant communication.

It certainly sounds like what you expected was not delivered on and that sucks.

And in a free range hunt on animals that can move to other property you might not have access to, I would find it difficult to think anyone could guarantee anything but an honest effort.

I would challenge the OP on this, though your personal benchmark for "big builds" was 350+, you did (or so it seems from your posts) see multiple 300"+ bulls you both passed on. There are MANY elk hunters who might not reasonably expect to find more than 1-2 300"+ bulls in a season! And, you were able to have that experience with your father.

I get it, it didn't meet the expectations of what you were paying for, time is more limited at your level than other resources, and you wanted a specific experience you paid for and didn't receive. And that is for sure disappointing.

But I'll also add, it is often times very easy to be disappointed in what we didn't receive instead of thankful for the things we did. You were able to take your father on an elk adventure in UT and pass on 300"+ bulls. Even if you didn't fill tags (I wasn't clear on this point from the outfitters comments or yours if a tag was filled) either way, that's quite a privilege many might not ever have.

That's quite a gift to both you and your dad.
