I wholeheartedly agree with being honest and having integrity. That's important in any situation. Anything else is really a one way trip out of business. I feel that the attitude of "you should have been hunting with me yesterday" has given the honest hard working guides a bad reputation and made it harder for them to operate.
The guide shooting "for" a client has always been puzzling to me. I do understand shooting back up to finish off a cripple or a bird that has been badly hit but didn't go down. That is the real definition of shooting back up. But shooting first is absurd if others are paying you a fee to guide them in my opinion.
I am still investigating the business aspect and how best to handle it.
Thanks for the tips and suggestions. Please keep them coming.
