It is not uncommon for those who have the wherewithall to do the more expensive, exotic, and distanthunts to have manysignificant irons in the fire at any one timeand a shortage of time on their hands. They are frequently used to achieving their objectives thru the use of subordinates (that is typically kinda how theyended up with the money) so it is logical in many cases for them to work thru a trusted booking agent. There is a small industry that has grown up around meeting these folks needs and the upperechlon (sp)of that industry is quite reliable and in turn relies heavily on the word of mouth within the "good old boys and girlsclub" to keep business going. Typically for the clinet, just another business deal (a goal, a budget, available resources, and a strategy to make it happen in the time allotted) and that "deal" just happens to involve (hunting) recreation --- no bigleap forthem.

They know how to get there, get 'er done, get back and get back to making the dough.
