The worst 24 Season of my 60 years Elk hunting NM

There are always two sides to every story. I would like to hear the outfitters side. Original poster is making it sound like everything little thing is the outfitters fault. Just from reading this post and then the original one some months back makes me think the outfitter couldn’t wait to drop you off and get the heck out of there!

I've hunted the wilderness a half dozen times. It can be great, and it can be not so great. It's a tough unit. You have to go in knowing a real possibility of eating tag soup exists. I've had to work my azz off every time out. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't. Although I've been called crazy for being willing to kill cows in that unit too.

Correction there are always three sides to a story .
And unfortunately it sounds like an eager hunter and an eager guide. Had stars in their eyes one for horn and one for greenbacks .
Remember the proverb “a fool and his money soon be separated “
If all you guided hunters weren’t out there waving your money around for some one to side saddle you in and feed you Mac and cheese while you take your pick at a 360 bull
Then these unscrupulous single wide dwellers would stay home and bother others .

Well, if you were told her clients don't kill much game, then..........

Well, I was not going to hunt with her and knowing the country and killing elk are two different things, but both works together. And from the guys I soke with said she liked sitting nm a horse more than sitting water or hiking the country as she would put 20 miles a day on her horses, and we were on foot as a drop.
The elk just were not in the area we were in period.
This had nothing to do with the horses not having riding time on them for a long trek of 14 miles. Probably a good reason why the Horse fell sending me to the ground on my head. YA THINK?

Did you go get checked out by a doctor after hitting your head?

LOL we were 12 miles in and I elected not to ruin my kids hunt of once in a lifetime. Even though not smart and having a mild concussion I sat in camp for 7 days then said I had enough, and the kid called for her to pull us out. 2 days later they showed up. I went straight to the DR when I got home here is where I found I had a mild concussion, and they were worried of the possibility of a brain bleed taking a blood thinner.
I have had an MRI an MRA 2 C scans all are good, but I continue having headaches as I have never had a head ach in my life.

Since this wasn’t adding value and resorted to name calling with foul language I’m shutting it down.
