How is that the guides fault? They are the official hunter on a hunt they paid for and there is nothing illegal or unethical involved.

Phil, it is the Guide's fault if they do not correct the client on the smart/correct way to have their scope set. If the Guide fails to penetrate the thickness of the client's stupid, then obviously, not the Guide's fault.

When shooting long range, there is usually plenty of time to turn up the power, if need be. Conversely, for close range shooting there usally is not enough time to turn the scope power down. I would love to hear the client's response to that rationale as they leave the power on 10X , in the brush.

The above is shockingly unbeleiveable. Stupid pays a lotof money for the Guide's experience and expertise and then disregards it.

Head shaking.

Thats one of the reasons why , I NOT A GUIDE !!!!!. Just no patience for that kind of stupidity , it,s not really stupidity tho , it's their arrogance ....
They need a good whippin !!! Or to pay ALOT OF MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.For myself , I wish I could buy new long tube fixed 3x Leupold s with the heavy duplex reticle ....
