It is there up front and in the open for all clients to read and to decide whether to agree with it and sign it and go on the hunt. Nothing hidden, nothing shady. I do not EVER mark up a hunt. I sell it exactly for the amount the outfitter does if he sells it himself. When we collect a deposit we are collecting a deposit for the outfitter. He pays us out of the deposit. The client does not pay us. I personally to the best of my ability check out every outfitter we agree to sell hunts for. Other than that I don't have to or am I going to defend myself to anyone when I haven't done anything wrong.
Well, you didn't word your post the way you thought you did. You did say you collect the deposit from the hunter, and deduct your fees from that. Isn't the hunter paying you directly?
