[QUOTE="TommyBreaux, post: 1131064, member: 51951"] I'll tell you the outfitter we used in a PM. Contact me at [EMAIL="tommyb@eatel.net"]tommyb@eatel.net[/EMAIL].. Like I said, they were very disorganized. There were only a couple of days during our hunt when you couldn't or would not want to fly. We were told that if we got there a day early and the weather was good they would fly us out early. We got there two days early the weather was great and we waited around all day to fly out. The planes didn't move. We asked them if they were going to take us out later that day and they said "maybe". The plane flew out brought in a couple of hunters and that was all they did that day. So we wasted a whole day that was beautiful waiting for nothing. We had to wait until late the next afternoon before they flew us out. It wasn't that they were busy picking up and dropping off other hunters they just weren't flying. I don't think they did near enough for the money they charged to put us in front of the migration or even near it. We were almost exactly 15 miles from their base. From the vantage point near our camp site I would estimate that we could see 10-15 miles easily in any direction except to the west.

Of course if they had arrived in the morning to pick us up like they said they were I wouldn't have even see those bulls. I am sour about them that is for sure. What air service did you use?
