The website states that there is some type of guiding service provided. The wilderness hunt is you being dropped off by boat at the banks of Indian Lake at early morning and being retrieved at sundown. The services that are provided are tent accommodations, an outhouse, portable shower, a cot, 3 meals, transportation in and out, and game and trophy care. Bag a 300 lb bear 6 or 7 miles into the woods and try dragging it out yourself. I have been on two trips with CP Guiding service and they were okay.

If you are thinking of the Farmland Hunting Trip offered, Don't bother... it is nothing like what is presented on the website. There is only a 5 day farmland hunt for $1,000. (cash) and the Chyle Country Inn is not the beautiful home in the photos but just a shell of a house with a kerosene heater. Bring your sleeping bags because there are no linens and your own pillows unless you like stained yellowed ones. There are only two hot meals a day not three. For lunch expect two slices of bread and one slice of salami and one slice of cheese and an apple.

Don't think for a moment that you will bag a buck because the area is hunted out even before the season begins by farmers and poachers that just want to take the trophy bucks before any outsider does.

I was put in a tree stand that was surrounded on three sides by barking dogs, farmers shooting off there guns every 45 minutes and earth moving equipment tearing up parts of the tree line with the loudest back up beeping I have ever heard. There were four other guests that were promised doe tags... none were provided. Guess how many bucks were taken by the 5 participants in this 5 day farmland hunt. If you guessed zero you would be correct. And if you think you'll get even a partial refund for pointing out all of the misleading advertising and misrepresentations by the owner you'd better start planning your court case now.

If you really have nothing better to do with a $1,000. go buy your wife a nice gift or take her and the kids away to Florida for the weekend. By the way there are residents in the area that will let you hunt their land for free.

C.P.'s Guiding Service Rebuttal Scam

AUTHOR: Pat - (United States of America)

The service is a scam and the rebuttals defending this service are also scams written by friends, relatives and even the scam artist himself.

If you want unbiased true life experiences with C.P.'s Guiding Service and it's owner do a Google search for C.P.'s Guiding Service and read all of the reviews on the Complaints Board website.

Chris Palumbo is a scam artist and his service is a sham.  It's not about catching any bucks with C.P.'s Guiding Service it's all about making a buck.

C.P.'s Guiding Service a Scam

AUTHOR: Pat - (United States of America)

C.P.'s Guiding Service owner Chris Palumbo or his relatives have been posting rebuttals stating that his guiding service is everything promised on his website.  It is all a big fat scam.  Go to complaints board dot com and you can read multiple unbiased reports on what a scam artist he is.  His website makes multiple claims about providing a stay at a beautiful Bed and Breakfast and three hot meals a day, it also claims that guiding service is provided.

The owner does not guide he points to a ribbon tied to a tree on his farmland hunts, there is no bed and breakfast just an old Amish school house with no heat or linens, several posts on Complaints Board dot com describe exactly what is not provided and exactly what transpired on his hunts to make them leave two and a half days early without any refund from C.P.'s Guiding Service.

Don't waste your time or your money.  Use a reputable guiding service.

AUTHOR: anonymous - (United States of America)

i would first like to state that in order to create this rebuttal i had to make an account with the website which was not easy but i felt it was neccesary because of my strong dissaproval with this report. i have been on several hunts with cps guiding service including both adirondack and the farm land hunt and i have always enjoyed them. the housing is always enjoyable and the personal care and service provided is excellent. i must agree that lunch isnt anything special on the adirondack hunt but it isnt bad and the other two meals makeup for it. if you can not handle living like an outdoorsman for a few days without electricity or plumbing than i suggest you go to a pet and shoot where you can shoot your game in an hour and maybe afterwards you can call your mother about it. i also have killed three prime bucks and a doe during my stays. if you dont have the oppurtunity to shoot a deer or bear you are garunteed action from them almost every day and for all hunters out there you know its true when i say sometimes you can sit all day and not see a thing which is rarely the case for cps. all stands that i have ever experianced were always excellent and beautiful spots and are perfect for escaping everyday life and chaos. i must conclude by saying the trips are both well worth the money and i would gladly recomend cps guide service to anyone all ages. i plan to continue hunting with chris and have not spotted a major problem yet.
