Check guide references before laying down $$$$$

[Dand]

Check out this crazy guide news story I posted on the GB guide forum.

A good warning to folks to thoroughly check references before laying down your hard earned money.

Alaska works hard to weed these creeps out.

The idiot sure makes it bad for the honest guides.

We had another fairly new guide here in Dillingham go on a temper tantrum threatening others with his plane.  Now he's waiting sentencing, selling his house.  He'll likely lose his plane and future rights to hunt or guide, and I expect jail time.  Sure will be hard on his wife and kid.

Here is the story on Brian.  Yep, guides have been doing poorly representing the trade this year.
