Yea, I kinda got jerked around. I was originally supposed to hunt near bonham but the guide cancelled and set me up with another guide and sent me to sherman. This was after we already reserved a motel in bonham, so cancelled that and found one in sherman. We had a good time though. The guides I hunted with were real cool guys and did the best they could, but there just weren't many birds flying. I was not charged full price for the hunt so thats good. Stewart, First off i want to let you know that the reason things were changed around is because where your group was originally scheduled to hunt. Was not holding as many birds as it had been previously during scouting a few days before. So we had to make an adjustment at the last minute. I can tell you that i got the full story when we got back as to what happened. My self and another co owner of mine were down at Blast and cast ministry event down in Rock port Texas. The place you guys hunted had over 100 birds on it the day before. But birds will be birds sometimes. That's why its hunting. I can also tell you that i know you paid with a check. I can tell you that the check has not been cashed and will not be cashed. You are not going to be charged anything at all for three guys shooting three birds. I do not run my business like that and never will. Your satisfaction and treating clients the right way is what is most important. If you go to our website you can clearly see that we have a great name and no negative press is out there on us. So that being said i can rest you assured that had we have been there none of this would have happened. Please shoot me a pm and i would like to visit with you further regarding this matter and what i can offer you to hunt with us again. Regards, J Stafford Blackland Outfitters Well played sir! That is taking care of business for sure I'll be booking next season

Wow, stand up guide service. There are a few out there that could learn a thing or two from that level of integrity. Way to go. Makes me want to book a hunt.

Nicely done TxFowler  Most guides would say a hunt is a hunt, and I would agree. IMO, you have gone above and beyond

We had our hunt with Blackland this morning and had a great time. The weather didn't cooperate as much as we needed but Josh worked hard to keep us on the birds. If we hadn't have been ring-neck snobs for the first half we would have had a few more  The guys are running a great operation and we will definitely be back, big thanks to Joe and Josh for their hard work!

Now that's a man of integrity. A guide who anyone should confidently book with. A man who doesn't just attend ministry events, but one who walks his talk. One who I admire.
“And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Stewart,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with you regarding you hunt with us and your concerns. Like i said the check you guys paid has been shredded and not cashed. I also got your text this morning with your address and as i said i will refund your initial hunt deposit to you as well.
Thanks Again,

I was one of the other three guys on that hunt, have nothing but nice things to say about them. It wasnt anyones fault that the birds did not show up and they still went above and beyond. Stand up guys, we will be setting up another duck hunt for next season and at least 1 hog hunt for this year. I will be a returning customer for as long as they are in business.
Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different.
Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

First guided hunt, obviously you were disappointed not to be covered up with birds.
But I hope you will insist on sending the guide another check, or make a donation to the ministry he mentioned. He held up his end of the deal.

Steve,
I talked to Stewart and got everything worked out. I decided to not only refund his groups initial deposit. But also the remainder they paid after the hunt. They are super nice guys and i am looking forward to having them out with us again this next season. As i said i just did what i felt was necessary to make amends with regards to their hunt with us. But all is good now and settled. I appreciate all you guys comments. And thank you all for your support.
