John and his other 2 hunters were signed up with us for a 3 day hunt, he sprung the fact that his daughter wanted to join us the day before the hunt began. I usually charge extra for observers but this one I let slide. I think it was a savvy way for him to save some $$, springing it on me the day before, that she wanted to join as an observer. This was not part of the original deal. I offered to take her with him out of the kindness of my heart. Hiking was not the issue, the girl could hike. The problem was that her glasses were about an inch thick and she had trouble seeing in the mornings and evenings getting in and out of the hunting spots, which made it very difficult for her to navigate the off trail terrain. She fell several times tripping over logs, rocks, etc. She told me she was scared of bears etc.and to be in the woods at dark. I watched her struggle for a day or so before I decided I did not want any part of taking her in the woods anymore. John also fell once dropping his gun in the water and mud, he barely cleaned his gun after that, and said it would be OK, But again I was nervous that if he went to shoot that gun we may all die from a misfire. The gun was full of mud and debris and he wanted to bring it back the next day. All of this made me nervous and I am very safety conscious and didn't want to risk any of this, so I said I did not want to take them hunting anymore. I did not think a Navy pilot would hunt with a compromised gun. I just didn't feel right about this hunt. I lived, and so did they, and nobody got hurt, was all I cared about at the time. Thanks for reading.
