A lot of excellent advice given. All I can add is I an a board member to my local sci chapter. When picking our hunts for auction our main thought is making money, sorry but it is a fundraiser. We do our best to use outfitters that we have history with and limit or number of african hunts. In my area the winning bid on a Africa hunt is very low. But they do sell if the outfitter attends. We have never had a bad report on an african outfitter to date but a few on whitetail hunts. Once there was a complaint I do my best to figure out what happened, as it is not always the outfitters falt. If it was really a bad outfitter we stop doing business with them, even if they are a 100% donator. We're all hunters and would never putt money over our members trust in getting what we advertise.
