Would Recommend: ABSOLUTELY NOT

Overall Impression: TERRIBLE

MY FATHER AND I HAVE BEEN ON ONLY A FEW OUTFITTED HUNTS, DUE TO TIGHT SCHEDULES AND SAVING FOR THE HUNTS. THIS HUNT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE BETTER ONES FROM ALL OF THE REFERENCES WE CHECKED AND VIC'S NICE WEB SITE. HOWEVER WE FOUND THE TRUTH OUT THREE DAYS INTO OUR HUNT WHEN I WAS PULLED OUT OF MY ILLEGAL STAND SITE BY A LOCAL DNR OFFICER. THE NEXT 3 HOURS WERE SPENT ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND GIVING SPECIFICS ABOUT VIC AND HIS OPERATION. COME TO FIND OUT THAT VIC HAS BEEN ILLEGALLY HUNTING IN THE AREA FOR AT LEAST 2YEARS AND THE DNR GUYS WERE WAITING FOR THE NECESSARY EVIDENCE TO BUST HIM. MY FATHER WAS TAKEN IN FOR QUESTIONING AS WELL AS THE OTHER TWO FELLAS IN OUR CAMP. WE WERE VERY EXCITED TO BE HUNTING WITH VIC AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER REVIEWS ON THIS SITE, BUT WERE DISSAPPOINTED TO KNOW THAT VIC ONLY HAD 4 LEGAL SITES FOR 8 HUNTERS WHICH GENERALLY DOES NOT WORK. THE SAD THING IS HE KNEW THIS THE DAY BEFORE WE GOT THERE AND HE DID NOT FESS UP SO THAT WE COULD MAKE THE DECISION TO STAY OR LEAVE. WE WOULD BE SOMEWHAT HAPPIER IF HE HAD DONE THE HONORABLE THING ANDOFFERED OUR MONEY BACK. BUT INSTEAD HE TOLD US WE COULD COME BACK NEXT YEAR FOR FREE. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS ACCORDING TO THE DNR OFFICERS, THERE WILL NOT BE A NEXT YEAR. IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY OTHER FURTHER INFO PLEASE CONTACT ME BELOW.
