RE: LOUSY CANADIAN OUTFITTER
One other thing I thought of is that you could compare how many hunts they are selling to the number of photos they put up of the past years hunters. If they are selling 20 hunts a year and only havea couple pictures that might seem a little fishy, but possibly some folks may not want their picture posted on the internet and refuse to give permission to use it. If I was an outfitter I would probably have that somewhere in the contract that I can take a picture of the successful hunter and use it for advertising purposes though. Of course an unethical outfitter could just snag a few photos off a site like this and claim them as their own though.
When it comes down to it at some point you just have to trust someone with your hard earned $ and hope for the best. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
