Two thumbs up!!!!!!!!! LMAO.

Lyin Ryan is right. I booked a hunt and plans changed and he wasn't able to take my group at that time. We had already sent him our money and he said it would be mailed back. 6 months later he is still not replying to any messages!!!!!!! Very frustrating!!!! He is not trustworthy!!! Do not send him any money!!!!!

I don't think you are the only one.

Oh yea that doesn't happen at all anywhere. Lemme guess you should have won ? He's a terrible caller anyway. How many calling contests have you been in big guy ? Can you break down exactly what seperated his calling from the others ? What place would you have placed him in ?

I wasn't at this show, and could care less, but everytime there is a contest in ontario you get someone that runs there mouth just like this worthless post.

I don't think anyone is questioning his calling abilities.

I think the point that was being made was it sounds like a calling contest that Ryan organized and that the judges were from or affiliated with his company.

Not that there is anything wrong with that I guess, but the optics aren't the best.

yes and what im saying is it happens allot, you just have to suck it up and deal with it. Christ when I participated in the mason dixon in maryland a couple of years ago Hunter Grounds called in it too, and his father was a judge along with another Grounds pro-staffer !? And that whole event (world goose, mason dixon, live duck and live goose) is up there with one of the biggest calling events in the industry.

My point is that you read one post on how there is never any contests in ontario, then when there is one, they complain that it wasn't run right.

I'm not complaining about anything. Frankly, I don't give a rat's azz about calling contests.

The "commercial" waterfowl and hunting industry is funny though. Normally when you hear something negative about someone or a business, there is usually more than one incident. (ie. this thread or Woods and Water) And then there are others that you rarely ever hear a negative word spoken about. (i.e. Luke Schreders or SLO).

Things that make you go hmmm......

I did not attend this event as I had other obligations. Now I had friends there that travelled a great distance to call and when they arrived it wasn't organized very well. No one knew what was happening, and at what time etc etc. Long story short they turned around and left. I don't chirp Ryan's calling ability at all, He knows what he's doing bar non. BUT I don't like the fact that he "Tooted his own horn" like that, like really he won his own calling comp with his staffers judging? I can see it now, CW will be campaigning that their calls win competitions all over.....meanwhile its their own organized calling comp with their judges. If customers knew that it would be laughed at. To me it's just something you don't do. Ryan could have called but state that he wasn't being scored. Give the underdogs a chance at winning their first calling comp possibly.
