Definitely checked your profile to make sure i didn't put my foot in my mouth, but as I expected, a lot of talk from a mediocre hunter. Be honest, you never met Russ on the Kaibab. You absolutely do not have to pay Russ to join his co-op. Will he set you on the best salt? Of course not and he has said so publicly for the last 20 years. But even if you dont pay he and his family will help you shoot a Buff, help skin and quarter and transport even if you dont pay a dime. Not one other guide or outfitter in the state does that yet somehow he is the villain because of the bad situation created from the g&f and national Park. Any other guide can do what he does but not one has. Oh a couple have taken clients and shot a buff or 2 but nothing of the numbers or consistency that russ does. So yes, saying falsities about how he operates is attacking him. Thank for proving my point about being a keyboard warrior. Guarantee you wouldn't call me a bitch to my face.
