i got burned a couple of years back by an outfitter in montana. he promised rifle permits for antelope when he knew they were hard to get and kept my deposit for 2 years. his name was terry kayser. he went under a couple different names which is the problem with some of these outfits that rip people off. the thing that got me is that he takes writers out hunting that belong to one of the big magazines that i wont say and shows them the world.of course he gets a good write up! i called montana fish and game and they werent helpful at all in getting my money back but my heart sunk when the officer asked if his name was terry kayser. he could only tell me that he had some charges pending and that terry had gotten into trouble with fish and gamebefore. thats why i think we as hunters should have a set system by we pay only a set amount down on a hunt and the rest when we arrive! if you pay full in advanced chances are your money is already spent and by the time you get to camp they are less than enthuezed to see you! it sucks when my one trip for the year is ruined. i am a working class guy and the money spent on these trips is hard to save for! i also think a web site to check on these type characters is a great thing GOD BLESS AMERICA!
