No he just know a guided trip works. You don't pay for a limit. You pay for being able to show up and shoot. You should, however, show up to a clean, dry, and well concealed blind. There should not be any hulls on the ground. The decoys should be freshly placed. And the guide should do what he can to get the birds in.

There is no garuntee you will even shoot anytime you go hunting. Guided trip or not

Here is one of the biggest guides in Morehouse Parish, check out this setup (hulls, blind, etc). Looks like a craphole, but he kills em. I agree that the water should have been pumped out beforehand though. If it was my operation, it would be a LOT more classier than this, but its not

Yeah its a crappy blind Dude stays booked up though. He usually brings 2 or 3 of his buddies with him as well. That would not fly really well with me, but he has been in business for many many years. His blind is 15 feet from the edge of the water and the dang shells have been there for years, and its the worst brush job in the world, it amazes me he kills ducks

I have never heard of any operation that lets you get a refund if you dont kill . Its called hunting not killing. Like D said its all about how things are ran that brings customers back ,more so than limits killed.
If we all refunded money for bad hunts we would go broke ,especially at this point in the season when the hunting gets real tough.

It did rain the day before and was done by that afternoon. So me and my dad went to the blinds to bail and re grass because we had a guided trip the following morning. Unless it was raining the previous night through that morning, that is no excuse for a wet blind. The guide should have went before the hunt to bail the water out


That's what a real guide does!!
