I am filing a suit against the guys who were ahead of me in the "official" THF Duck Tourney for mental anguish. You have been served

This is an absolute joke: "Mental anguish" I have had the pleasure on most hunts and then nightmare on a couple of other hunts with Gore and his guides. I think that Larry Gore is a stand up guy himself, but some of his guides are going to bring him down IMO b/c of their stupidity and lack of scouting. Hope this ends up in a good light for guides, or else this could open up a whole new can of worms.

I think they need to suck it up and stop being crybabies..... i mean d@mn..... its hunting not shooting......people like that shouldnt be able to duck hunt.....it messes things up in the long run..... what if texas went to.... a state where u couldnt get a guided hunt.... shut the guide operations down.... then the guy whos is being the cry baby wouldnt have anything to say now huh......look just take the kick in the nuts and go on...... why dont someone tell that guy to go play golf or something and leave waterfowling to us?

whatever. The guy who filed this lawsuit probably sued Chili's when he got sick after eating there. What an idiot. For any experienced waterfowler, you don't go sit in a blind when you get deeper into the season. Ducks are smart, the guy who filed the lawsuit is not. I've had many a good hunt sitting on the side of a levy with little cover. Sounds like this dude watches some waterfowling shows where people sit in a blind and what a limit during a 30 minute show with 20 minutes of commercials. We all know only J.J. can consistently shoot a limit in less than 10 minutes... Everyone else... it takes a while... lol... This attorney has too much times on his hands... Give me Larry and a levy and on most any day, we'll do just fine!

This whole lawsuit is pretty silly. Say what you want about Larry, but in years of dealing with his outfit I've never had any problems.
I realize that there are some outfitters out there that give the rest of us a bad name, but a lawsuit over a bad hunt is absurd. It does noting but open the way for more frivolous suits in the future.
Also, if its the guide I'm thinking of that took the trip he probably has more waterfowling experience on the prairie than 90% of the folks out there today.

I have guided those areas Larry has now. I've had my own run ins with him before. In one way to be suited over a bad hunt is not good for guides. These are waterfowl, they have wings and can fly to another spot. I can remember 33 years ago when he got started. Beleive me, those days are gone! A guide has to be honest with his clients. With me, If you get no birds, you get a free trip. I want to see my clients kill ducks and watch my lab work. That's the difference between big time and someone who is happy with chasing ducks. Guys, their is alot of guides that feel my way. They want you to have a great trip. Remember guides, it's not what you take, it's what you leave behind! We don't kill ducks everytime, but we do make friends every hunt!

Gore is still in business because of all of the out-of-state hunters and local highrollers. I never hunted w/ him due to all of the negativity I heard from some of the locals here. I hunt w/ a buddy that has hunted w/ Gore for many years in the past. Needless to say he no longer hunts w/ him.
I'm on a lease now that established this year. This guy was a partner last year. He pulled away from them and started his own waterfowl leases, due to them not being honest w/ the hunters. I'm sure this will be a good year for us since this guy really does care about his hunters.
I was on another waterfowl lease here in Katy and was burnt by him not making sure the fields remained flooded. Ya can't hunt waterfowl w/o water.......period.
I've been on numerous hunts were the birds didn't co-operate and did others by just sitting on a levi w/ very little cover. Most of these hunts we limited out.
It is hunting and I feel they should've taken the free trip again.
I've been burnt in Idaho hunting elk and muledeer. I'll never forget it, but NEVER thought about suing them either. My hunt was almost $5k back then also. Far cry from the $175 day hunt.

I've hunted with Gore for years and seen some great hunts and some not so great. But we always felt like we were treated well.
I have read the negative stuff on this forum but have never met anyone in person who has told me anything other than good things about the guy. Not saying some people have not had poor hunts because I sure thats true for Gore and for almost any outfitter.
But not only has they guy been in business for years which tells me that there are plenty of people who are happy with his outfit, me being one of them, but he is also known for being very generous to the community in the form of giving hunts and donations. He is also credited with being one of the founders of the Katy Prairie Conservancy. Hell he won election to the City Council in Katy, so plenty of people must think he is doing a good job.
And if you read his website it says on the first page that there are less geese than there used to be and the hunting is not as good as it once was. Now thats pretty darn honest if you ask me.
I have to say I guess I am sticking up for him because just like someone said earlier, "mental anguish" over a duck hunt that went bust is "obsurd". That tells me all I need to know about the people filing the suit. They really shouldn't be allowed to have guns.
Sorry for the long post but this has caught my eye and I felt it only right to tell some of my experiences with the man.

If we goose egg a hunt we dont charge em..... And if its a so so hunt and only a few birds work us we will adjust the price, or try to slide em back in on another date. I dont guaranty you can hit a limit, but I will guranty we will put one in front of you or we will do somthing about it.

I remember those days back in the 80's when he was just getting started.

I completely agree!!! I will never forget in 1994 my father and I along with many of his coworkers were treated like dirt on a snow goose hunt. (I still remember the guides name to this day). That guide had us carry out the decoys and pick them up at the end of the hunt. However, that's not my complaint. My complaint was the first day he brought his father who sky busted everything in sight and we hardly got a shot off. The next day, he brought his brother who decided to shoot all 7 of the pintails we were allowed to get (1 per person). The guide DID NOT recieve a tip from any of us. Worst hunt I had ever been on and would not recommend this outfitter to anyone...I sincerely hope Gore gets what he deserves.

Never seen anything like that. And I am sure if Larry had something like that happen and you told him about it, not only would he make it right with you but the guide would probably be out of a job too.
One time when we had a hunt that we didn't get but a few birds he offered us another hunt for no charge. We took him up on it.
Who was that guides name? Breaking the law by a guide ain't a good thing.
I remember when the feds had a waterfowl sting operation back in the 80's, Gore's outfit was one that didn't get cited at all. When there were others who got put in jail!
It's a shame if you didn't say something to the owner at the time because if he was like Gore you would of been taken care of.

OK,new here...Somewhere this am I came across this thread and....Would like to know the outcome...
I know Larry from back in the early to late 80s when I left Katy..matter of fact, he was at my house on Aster the morning I left to head north for work...Had lunch with him quite a few times at the old Electric Lunch.
Hunting is hunting..good and bad...guided myself back then and offered either another hunt or discounted hunt..Larry was 1st class then, but I know he went big and had a LOT of guides then, which opens him up to having to justify maybe a not so good guide and maybe some not so good spots..I had a few groups that were forced on me, usually late season and I knew we were NOT going to shoot many birds, if any, but the head outfitter needed the bucks and sometimes you book and weather etc just don't co-operate...Then again, some days are killers and the next sucks..

Never sys they paid $1500 for the hunt, they are suing for $1500 $1500 for a hunt! I see thousands of geese on the piece of PUBLIC land I go to every year! I've seen many complaints on him. I hope he gets burned.
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.
