Trophyseekers Worldwide -- What not to look for in outfitter/guide
I also posted this in Big Game hunts but realized it probably should've gone in this forum.
I just wanted to give everybody a heads-up regarding Trophyseekers Worldwide. I had filled out the info sheet request on HuntingNet.com requesting info for an elk hunt. I provided all infoexcept formy phone number because I have a new residence and it's not hooked up yet. All others sent me detailed info by either email, postal mail, or both...except Tony Ruggeri owner/founder from Trophyseekers Worldwide. Instead he sent me this rude email. See below email correspondance he sent me (on bottom), then my response back to him on top. This is definitely a company/person I'm glad not to do business with!!
MY RESPONSE BACK TO HIM:
Tony,
....Don't have home phone at the time because just moved into new residence and phone is not installed yet. It wasn't a "trust" issue, as you wrongly assumed.
Thanks for not sending me your information. All others sent it in convenient and easy-to-read email attachment or print form. They also provided me with their phone numbers so that I may call them when convenient.You should consider all circumstances (i.e. no phone available, etc.) rather than consider only yourself when corresponding with "potential" clients (which I'm not).
I'll be sure not to contact you or inconvenience you again. Maybe you had a bad day, or everyday is a bad one for you...who knows. With an email response like your own I surely don't want to deal with you professionally, however, and I know that others won't as well (I'll be sure to let them know every chance I get).

TONY RUGGERI'S ORIGINAL EMAIL TO ME:
