I - honestly - have nothing to do with this outfitter or anything to gain. But that type of arrangement sounds like a pretty good deal to me. (A) Depending on what type of buck you take, $1250 with lodging and food is pretty good. (B) How many outfitters charge you LESS is you don't take a buck? Almost every other charges you full price. (C) This is some nice marketing in my books. : )
