Oak, I thought you might know them. Breck sure seems like a heck of a good guy. Sucks they are going to lose their cape too. Guy never got their cape out and salted so it is ruined as well.
Gellar, believe it or not, Tom actually never got Nyles moose out of the woods so Nyles moose also is a 100% loss. I'm not positive but I believe the Fish and Game also has his antlers as well.
The worst part for Nyle, is he paid for a guided hunt, never got a guide, shot his moose on his own, and now has nothing to show for it because the outfitter didn't even get a packer with a knife to it until it was rotten. I know somebody that flew over that moose 12 days after the kill and it was still there.........absolutely absurd. I have a feeling that there may have been some hope that a bear would get it but it never happened.
I met a lot of hunters there in camp and 100% of the hunters said it was the worst outfitted setup they had ever been on in their life. Even the ones who killed animals would never go back. One of the guys there was on a rehunt because his first hunt was so bad..........well, he couldn't imagine the second would be that bad........fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice........well you know how it goes.
Felt terrible for the guy, super super nice guy too. He got there on the 10th of September and he too sat in camp and was still sitting when Harold and I left on the14th. I know he ended up only getting a couple days in the field and again got no moose. He was dropped with a guide and a cheap ass Walmart tent that didn't even have a rain fly!!! IN ALASKA!!! ANd unfortunately for him, it rained every day! Everything the guy owned including the sleeping bag was soaked to the gills. Spent 3 days so miserable that all he wanted to do was get out and go home. Felt bad for him. Two trips to Shiesters camp and no moose to show for it.
