We booked an elk hunt for my dad and I last August for this coming October. Outfitter entered us in AZ and NM draws for elk and mule deer, but we knew we would not likely draw as it was our first year. That being said, they offered a guaranteed tag in Colorado. Fast forward to this past Friday, I finally spoke to the outfitter on the phone, after trying to contact him since April. He says he’s not doing the Colorado hunts this year now, because “I can’t put my integrity or conscience on the line”. Basically, the area he was hunting there has gone to [emoji90], according to him, but “we can get you a NM muzzle loader hunt for $12k”. The sure thing hunt we thought we signed up for would’ve been about $7k. My dad will be 72 this fall and has asbestosis, so we’re not sure how long he’ll be able to handle a mountain hunt. Is there anybody that knows a hunt that we could book on short notice for this fall? My dad doesn’t have 10 years left to try and draw. At this point, I’m willing to just tag along on his hunt or shoot a cow, just to be able to make the memories while he’s able. Any help is greatly appreciated.
