Reviewer Comments: hunted w /billy twice plan to go back this fall along w/ 3 other hunters that I met there all are returning 1st trip shot 130 class wt on last night seen deer up to 160inch some good mulies didnt have md tag but would have had shot at 150inch md 2nd trip didnt shoot saw some mulies that would go 180inch I think billys style doesnt agree with some he doesnt like walkers he expects you to stay put in stand but if you do you will see deer real laid back hunt drops you off at stand might be 1 guide to 4 people but that is all you need for this kind of hunting if you are looking to hike and glass this isnt for you if you like to stand hunt around hay fields you will be happy I think it is a real good chance at archery trophy mule deer or whitetail without making 50 botched stalks before you connect

Reviewer Comments: THE HUNT WAS BOOKED LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER WEATHER WAS 20 TO FIFTY DEGREES/ ACCEPTABLE.UNEXPERIENCED GUIDE,POOR STAND PLACEMENT,NOT ENOUGH STANDS, SUPPOSED TO BE FULLY GUIDEDED/TWO DAYS HAD TO COOK OWN MEALS/SAW NO QUALITY BUCKS ONLY ONE BASKET EIGHT POINT/NO MULE DEER.THREE OTHERS IN CAMP FEEL THE SAME WAY.I HAVE BEEN ON MANY GUIDED HUNTS THAT I KILLED DEER AND SOME THAT I DIDN'T. I LEFT THOSE HUNTS FEELING THAT THE OUTFITTERS DID THEIR BEST,B.G.S. DID NOT. THIS HUNT WAS THE MOST I HAVE EVER PAYED FOR A HUNT AND BY FAR THE WORST. THEY ADVERTISED IT AS QUALITY TROPHY BUCKS BUT THE ONLY BUCK THAT I SAW WASNT ANY TROPHY. I'M FROM MASSACHUSETTS AND I WOULD HAVE PASSED THAT DEER UP. I FEEL THAT THEY HAVE THE NAME PARTLY RIGHT. INSTEAD OF BEING CALLED BADLANDS GUIDE SERVICE, IT SHOULD BE CALLED BAD GUIDE SERVICE. THERE ARE SOME GOOD OUTFITTERS AND THERE ARE SOME BAD OUTFITTERS, THIS IS THE FIRST BAD OUTFITTER I HAVE HAD. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WILL LEAVE A LASTING MEMORY IN MY MIND AND IN MY WALLET. SO WHOEVER READS THIS, (BEWARE OF B.G.S) FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. CHARLIE
