This is a new feature on the web site.  

It's not intended to tell you we get limits every time out.  We don't.  Not every hunting or fishing trip is going to harvest limits and some are going to end up getting nothing at all.  That's why it's called 'hunting' or 'fishing'.  

Rather, we want to let our past clients express their opinions on the overall quality of their outing.  Was their site aesthetically enjoyable??  Were they treated like a hunting or fishing buddy instead of like a 'customer'??  Was their guide personable and knowledgeable??  And how successful were they in taking fish or game??  Do you feel like we 'did you right'??

If you've hunted or fished with us and would like us to include your comments, send them via the email link above.  We'll add new notes as we get them..

NOTE FROM BIG LAKE OUTDOORS:  Mr. Grounds' hunt scheduled for February 3 had to be rescheduled until Fall 2008 due to family commitments.  His first outing with us will be in late-November 2008.  When he learned we were creating this page, he offered the following comment:

Absolutely the most honest and easiest to work with.  My family and I are looking forward to many good hunts.

John,

After a gooseless hunt with you in January 2007, we considered not coming back for the 'make-up' hunt you offered us for this season.  I think I can speak for all of us and say we're glad we did.  We had a fantastic time and would love to return in the future.  

We also appreciated you sharing helpful hints about goose hunting and were impressed to see actual geese demonstrate what you had been talking about only minutes before.

Thanks again for a great hunt (12 geese) and please feel welcome to use me as a reference for any potential customers.

John, 

I've hunted with you in 80 degrees and wind chills of -15.  We haven't always killed or even seen geese, but I've enjoyed sharing a blind with you and you've always done me right after a bad day in the field or when we had to call off a hunt-in-progress (January 19 & 20, 2008:  Temperatures of 10 - 15 degrees, Winds gusting to 30+ mph, Blizzard conditions). 

I especially appreciated the time you took to help me train Sam when he was on his first hunt back in '05.  The advice and hints you gave me in that area have been very helpful and Sam is turning out to be a good retriever for me.  To show my appreciation, you'll be getting one of his pups this spring.  I'll send you pictures when they're born so you can decide on which one you want.

You have my permission to show my email address for anyone who would like to contact me for a reference about you.

I'll see you in September (2008).

When setting up the hunt John was very prompt in returning E-mails and phone calls.   He was very professional during the hunt and put forth much effort trying to ensure we would have an opportunity to kill geese.
