I couldn't agree more DD and Champlain, the hunt is not all about the kill. And every hunt I've been on I have come away with great memories some with kills and some without. But what I'm talking about are outright lies. Example...the last hunt I went on the hunting season opened on a Saturday. We were told our hunt would start on a Monday to allow for deer to pushed on to the property from surrounding properties. When we arrive on Sunday as agreed to get settled in we find out that 4 guys hunted the property all weekend and took 3 buck off the property. We were told we would be hunting unhunted property. I could go on and on.I guess it's just the nature of the business??
WT in a case like that ..if what you heard about the previous hunters was accurate then that is just a down rite lie ....I am not sure when you found out about the previous hunters but if it was before you went to the field I think I would have addressed that with the gudie and found out if it was true and if it was I would have asked for my money back "IF" at the end of the hunt we had not had a reasonable chance at a shooter buck ...if he refused to agree to that I would have asked for my money back and just left the camp prior to hunting .... if you found out after your hunt then that sure makes it tuff have recourse ....you can always demand your money back but its unlikely you will get any satisfaction from a pure dee liar AFTER the hunt.... sorry to hear you had such an ordeal ..
