Hunter Comments
I do not recommend this outfitter

This hunt turned out to be a complete joke. Twenty different hunters in one location they used every stand they had. There was no place else to go with the hunting was terrible they just move 100 for one stand at the next Dan. Food was marginal to bad. Temp dropped to -18 and my guide says the outfitter forgot to send the heater they promised. One guy shot and avg buck no one else saw a buck. Guides are not guides their taxi drivers. They don't know the territory at all. My guy was hire three days earlier from two states away. Spoke with the guy who managed the place they put the hunters up. He said its a joke. Theirs no. Way your going to get a big buck they way they do it. 100 of hunter coming and going all the time. Bucks know where to stay away from.

Was the outfitter notified of problems? - YES

Outfitter's Response
Disagree

IMB Outfitters has been in business for 17 years and has won more outdoor awards than any other whitetail outfitter in America. The comments this person made are absolutely false. We even keep records and share with the hunters when or if a stand has been hunted before they hunt it. Our rules is that no stand gets hunted more than 4 times in a year and 20% of our stands don't get hunted. HEAR THIS! MOST HUNT REVIEWS ARE FAKE. WE HAVE HAD OVER 100 HUNT REVIEWS REMOVED FROM THE INTERNET BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO PROVE OTHER COMPETING OUTFITTERS GO ONLINE AND POST NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON THEIR COMPETITION OR IN THIS CASE US. This review is absolutely false in ever manner. Notice the guy doesn't even post his name. Whether hunt reviews are good or bad over 90% of them are fake. Most outfitters have there employees pose as hunters and post bad reviews on their competition or other outfitters, and then have the same employees pose as hunters and go post good reviews on themselves. If any hunter has a problem with us I ALWAYS correct it and make certain they are happy. Darrin Bradley, IMB Outfitters
