That’s all well and fine but who the outfitter is has nothing to do with my points about real costs and hunters trying to get things as cheap as possible with no regard for an outfitter, especially when the OP is the one who asked for an additional day. If the OP decides to do some sightseeing instead, a hotel room, meals and other activities will likely be more expensive than $180 each unless they just sit around.With all due respect (I really mean that) @Scott CWO, you don’t have to gate keep for the outfitter just because you are one.
Someone clearly misquoted and the OP has already said that he didn’t realize that due to his inexperience. The misquoting could have easily been explained but the person didn’t handle it appropriately. Hopefully the owner will take care of the situation.
Also, if $180 a day is a problem for one day perhaps they shouldn’t have offered hunts at that day rate in the first place. The guys are probably hunting 2:1 anyway. The PHs will be taken care of. The owner may have to eat a little but this is not the end of the world.
If the outfitter is the one who has been suspected then they have enough hunters coming through every year to make this a non issue for them financially speaking.
On another note, it’s interesting that everyone criticizes the suspected outfitter for being a cheap outfitter and not providing a higher quality experience but then thinks he shouldn’t raise his fees to be more inline with other SA outfitters and hopefully provide a better service.
