the fact that I did pay is the issue, the fee was 250.00 for the weekend that gets you accomodations, meals, and 1 hog up to 150lbs.
now his rules are if you draw blood then it counts as a kill, i was fine with that. but calling me with an "estimate" of 160lbs. that just seems shady.
the whole trip had its shady moments, breakfast was to be included, no breakfast. air conditioned bunk house, he told us he cut the cord off of it because the last guys there left it on. also before he weighed my buddy's hog, he said, "my scales are about 5 lbs off, they show 5 lbs to much" once the hog was weighed, 150lbs, he wanted the trophy fee, we all said hangon a sec, you just told us it was 5lbs off. with his next breath, he said "no i didn't, but I will let this one slide..."
this guy is a crook, in my eyes.
I'd tell that guy which way was up!!!! You don't owe him SQUAT!!!! You paid for an AIR-CONDITIONED bunkhouse and didn't get it, BREAKFAST that never was served, and the guy was trying to take your buddies money with some scale discrepancy lie, I think the only thing he's owed is a BIG OLE CAN of WHOOPASS!!!! You guys must be the "NICE GUY" type, because he'd have gotten and ear and maybe a face full from me if I'd been in your shoes!!!
