Default RE: Follow up question on "Trophy" fees

...BUT if its an ALL you can eat buffet then there should be no extra charge for 2 helpings and that brings me to my original question ...if you buy a tag that includes TWO bears and you have paid for 6 days of hunting where does the outfitter get off on wanting to charge an extra $500.00 for the second bear that you have ALREADY paid for?
Doc,

What I think you are missing is that, while you are able to harvest 2 bears on your license, you have entered into contract for a single bear...

Think of it this way for that 6 day bear hunt, you have entered into a contract for the following:

1. 6 days lodging

2. 6 days meals

3. Up to 6 days of hunting for the harvest of 1 bear

4. The processesing of 1 bear

Another way to look at it is if you are doing a hunt that doesn't allow the harvest of extra animals...

If you book an elk guide for 7 days and you take your elk in first 30 minutes, would you expect a partial refund because your hunt didn't last the entire week?

I understand where you are coming from... I'm just telling you how they price it and what you are agreeing to when signing a guide contract.
