Took me a long time to post this but noticed on OHio Valley Guide Service's web page it has had 45,000 visitors and want to make sure no one else gets caught with this outfit. Was called several days before a bowhunt which was fully paid that "Curt" the owner would not be at hunt for first few days due to an "emergency" sportsmen's show he had to attend in PA. But Curt assured me I would be taken care of by one of his guides. Well one of his guides met me at a McDonald's in Ohio and it was Curt's father who I figure was at least 70 years old driving a dodge neon. The "camp" was supposedly booked with other hunters. Needless to say I was the only one in camp. Almost forgot to mention the "camp" The camp was a job trailer that was also shared with 2-3 immigrant non english speaking workers who would come back at 1:00am from who knows where making all kinds of racket. I was basically given a four wheeler, a very old man for a guide who met me on the first day, a job trailer to sleep in and that was it. Curt showed up from his emergency sportsmen's show and wanted to know why I was leaving a few days early. I have been on a lot of hunts and some were not that good at all. But this one has me mad enough five years later to make sure no one else gets burned. Stay away from Ohio Valley Guide Service. If you want give me your $1500 and I will have my 83 year old grandmother guide you for some really big bucks here in Massachusetts. Ohio Valley Guide Servce Wellston, OH Tel.# 740-384-5289
Outfitter Response: So let's get this straight... you dare Insult my Dad? What kinds punk are you not to mention a liar. You where given soul access to 400 acres of land You hunted alone becuase of health issues from other clients. But you complain anyway. You killed a Buck and saw plenty of game. YOU NEVER ONCE COMPLAINED a out lodgings or the men in Cabin #1. It was not a work trailer it was a brand new 24 x 40 cabin. Ack to my Dad... one of the most well liked men in our county he died in 2015 at the age of 79. Your hunt was what 15 to 18 years ago. That would have made him 65 at best. He took you to 15 different stand and we let you hunt anywhere you wanted. IT WAS NOT a fully guided hunt . People like you watch way too many hunting shows where too archery manufactures send there best employees to hunt in various situations. Some hunts are even canned or inside a fence. I dont even watch hi ting shows a ymire becuase I know how there run. So at least be honest... You stated 1st you have been on a lot of bad hunts but mine was the worst? That said every hunt you've been on sucked...right? So no one could satisfy you! CORRECT? Ok there you have it.
