Georgia and Walter,
I wanted to drop a note to thank you for the
gracious hospitality that you extended during our recent Winchester/Fieldline
Pro Staff elk hunt. It is a rare occurence when four hunters who have
zero knowledge of an area can all successfully fulfill their tags
one hundred percent. This speaks of the property itself and the potential
it holds.
Our Fieldline Pro Staff whole-heartedly endorses
the property for hunting. It is truly a fair chase opportunity that
demands that the hunter must "hunt" for their animal under
normal conditions rather than the all too often "canned"
or pickup hunt that is all too frequent today.
All members of the team saw numerous elk daily
and had multiple opportunities. The bear sign was incredible. I would
be glad to be used as a reference for your fine facilities. The information
that Walt provided prior to the hunt was invaluable. The utilitzation
of aerial as well as topographical maps to orient one to the property
was key in the group's success.
The only unfortunate circumstance is that we
did not have a video crew to record the hunts. Three of the four bulls
taken were taken after exciting calling sessions that wold have lended
themselves to being excellent video footage.
The setting is truly a splendid, breathtaking
site, one could not ask for a more beautiful location. The ranch's
proximity to the town of Gunnison makes it a natural for those who
want to fly in. We took advantage of the central location and made
a sightseeing side trip to Crested Butte, Montrose, and Durango.
Again, it was a pleasure to have the acquaintance
of yourself and Walt and hopefully we will see you next year.
Sincerely yours,
Doug Harper
Winchester/Fieldline
