[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2919436, member: 313"] Some "guides" are just people helping out to make a few bucks, and their guiding knowledge is next to zero. Here's the two craziest things a "guide" ever told me. 1. "I prefer 30 cal cartridges for deer because the bullet burns down to about 7mm by the time it gets to the deer. It's the friction in the air that burns them down". I thought the guy was just kidding at first, but he wasn't. 2. On a rather unsuccessful bear hunt in Maine, my "guide asks me if I saw anything. I tell him that I could see black shadows moving in the dark. He tells me, "you should have shot them. It may have been the only opportunity you'll get". ***! [/QUOTE]
