To: The Hunting Report From: Gretchen Stark of Safari Outfitters RE: Greg Bond complaint Date: June 11, 2002
We completely agree with the assessment of Greg Bond. There is no conflict here whatsoever. Greg clearly states his expectations were too high for this hunt, since the typical ram taken from the High Altai in recent years is 55 inches or less. Greg harvested a mature 14-year old ram that he was happy with.
