What do you guys think about this guy’s service of providing curated hunt plans?

www.thehuntsource.com

Think I saw a few high profile folks talking about him online. Sounded like it paid off. I’m curious if anyone has tried this out, kinda got mixed feelings on lowering the barrier to entry for folks but could be really valuable for an out of state hunt if this guy really is an e-scouting wiz.
 
From my quick glance at that website it appears to be someone charging to give hunting advice over the phone. At $335/hr you decide if that phone call is worth it to you...
 
Seems like just another person trying to separate hunters from their money with nothing really to show for it. Everything seems super vague and I’d guarantee he’s more than willing to provide info on spots he has never seen in person, probably just looked at on google earth, on x and looked at state draw odds and harvest info.

I had a tag service guy call me a few years back snooping for info for a client. It was bizarre and borderline rude. The guy was very uncomfortable at saying he was calling for a paying client and not himself
 
Hunt planning services are lame and the people who operate them are even lamer. Example Larry Bartlett and Troy Sessions.
 
Seems like you could get better information elsewhere, such as this forum.

"Tag Application Road Map with JR Davey: 30 minutes @ $225.00
We’ll build an application roadmap tailored to your goals whether that’s hunting every year, targeting trophy units, or creating family opportunities. In a 30-minute session, we’ll identify the best states, units, and seasons, outline short- and long-term strategies, and create backup options to maximize your draw odds. After the call we''ll send your completed application plan."


"30 Minute strategy/coaching lesson with JR Davey: 30 minutes @ $110.00"


"45 Minute Strategy/Coaching Lesson with JR Davey: 45 minutes @ $135.00
Same idea as our 30 minute call but more time to go into depth on a subject.
Book it and lets talk!"


"Hunt Plan with JR Davey: 1 hour @ $335.00
This session builds a customized plan for one specific hunt so you can head into the field prepared. Before we meet, you’ll answer a couple questions so I can tailor the plan to you. During the call, we’ll discuss game movement, terrain strategies, and backup options. What sets this service apart is that it includes a second 30-minute reevaluation call during your hunt so if conditions change or you just need fresh advice, you’ll have direct support to take full advantage of what you've learned."
