laura and i have had nothing but good experiences with Hunter's Point. The very first year Laura hunted with me we were socked in for 3 days due to the torrential rain from Katrina. Eldon let everyone who didn't get a bear that week come back for 3 days for no charge. I trust Eldon and his crew so much I let her go back up by herself as I had other commitments. They all took good care of her and Eldon put her in a stand that she killed her first bear from on the last hour of the last day with her recurve. If either one of us had any problems with stands, placement or the wind it was simply a matter of saying so and it was taken care of.
In regards to Laura being put into a stand that had already had been hunted...the stand had only been disturbed by the hunter on two successive days. The bait was being hammered and Laura had the option of going to another site but once we inspected it it was clear that it was a hot set up so she chose to hunt there. She didn't kill a bear there because the only shots offered were by smallish bear. I think she saw 12 bear in four days and asked to be switched to another site where she had a chance at a really nice bear. Once she started to draw her bow the bear turned giving her a poor angle and then walked away. Hunter's Point is a class hunt. Never had a problem that wasn't addressed and resolved quickly. And talk about a "Hunter Friendly" town. The evening Laura returned from her successful hunt, everyone in the restaurant gave her a Standing O when she walked in to get something to eat.
