点评:We feel your pain. We suffered through the first year that Trace took over. It seems the previous owner Steve is now bitter that he sold to an unprofessional person and treating the clients much more poorly than several years ago.
Our hunt was epic, 4 for 4.
What people need to understand is that they are there to put as many people in the woods during the season as they can, it's quantity not quality. We had people in adjacent camps that never saw moose.
We were told not to leave the river to find moose. If we'd have listened we would have been 0 for 4.
We had to go find them. We called 2 in but the largest bulls, 64 inches each, hardly made a sound and wouldn't leave their cows. All 4 were in the trees at least 1/4 mile from the river Bank.
Once the mature bull was killed in the oxbow, that area was done. No wonder the previous guys in another review who tried to hunt the same camp never saw anything.
We were also dumped on a mud bank with no guidance on where to find the high ground camp, 2 days later and after getting flooded out by the rising river, we moved camp.
Trace was under gunned with aircraft.
He was trying to transport 60 hunters and half that many moose with cessnas and 2 pilots.
Our 10 day hunt turned into 16 due to a combination of weather and poor logistics planning.
Without the moose to eat, we'd have been in trouble.
2 of our 4 moose were spoiled or mostly spoiled due to warm weather and willow air failing to get to us in a timely manner and transporting to the cooler in McGrath.
One of the 4 guys had disclosed before the hunt that he wanted a euro mount with his head. The contract read that this is due to the great difficulty fitting the entire skulls and horns inside the plane. All the heads were tied outside to the struts for transport, never inside. But the euro mount guy had to pay 500 bucks for no apparent good reason.
The communication was certainly poor all around.
Very sad to see a great operation go to the dumps.
There are many bad reviews about willow air in the last couple years, proceed with caution, it's a lot of money and time spent to end in grand disappointment
翻译:我们感同身受。在 Trace 接手的第一年,我们遭受了痛苦。似乎前任老板 Steve 现在对他将公司卖给了一个不专业的人感到不满,而且对待客户的态度比几年前差得多。
我们的狩猎非常成功,4 人成功狩猎 4 只。
人们需要明白的是,他们在那里是为了在狩猎季节尽可能多地将人派到森林里,这是数量而不是质量。我们附近营地的一些人从未见过驼鹿。
我们被告知不要离开河边寻找驼鹿。如果我们听从了,我们 4 人就没机会了。
我们不得不去找它们。我们叫来了 2 头,但最大的公牛,每头 64 英寸,几乎没有发出声音,也不离开母牛。所有 4 头都在距离河岸至少 1/4 英里的树上。
一旦成年公牛在牛轭湖被杀死,那个地区就完蛋了。难怪之前在另一篇评论中试图在同一营地狩猎的人什么也没看到。
我们还被扔在泥岸上,不知道高地营地在哪里,两天后,在被上涨的河水淹没后,我们才搬了营地。
Trace 的飞机火力不足。
他试图用塞斯纳飞机和 2 名飞行员运送 60 名猎人和一半的驼鹿。
由于天气和糟糕的后勤规划,我们 10 天的狩猎变成了 16 天。
如果没有驼鹿可吃,我们就有麻烦了。
由于天气炎热,柳树风未能及时到达我们身边,我们 4 只驼鹿中有 2 只被宠坏了或大部分被宠坏了,并被运送到麦格拉斯的冷藏室。
4 个人中有一个在狩猎前透露,他想要一个带有头的欧式头像。合同上写着,这是因为将整个头骨和角装进飞机内部非常困难。所有的头都被绑在外面的支柱上运输,从来没有在里面。但欧洲安装人员却不得不支付 500 美元,理由似乎并不充分。
沟通确实很差。
看到一个伟大的行动走向失败,我感到非常难过。
过去几年,关于 Willow Air 的负面评论很多,请谨慎行事,它花费了大量金钱和时间,却以令人大失所望的结果收场
