I am embarrassed it happened to me. Trophy Elk Adventures claims to hunt elk in Colorado and New Mexico. They wanted a 50% deposit to schedule my New Mexico cow hunt. I thought I had met these guys at a South Carolina sports show, they have a nice website and advertise to hunters that have applied for state lottery hunts. Apparently they buy the address list from the state. Turns out these were not the people I met at the show. I sent them $1400 for a five day Hunt.

Three days before the hunt Rich called and said no elk on the property due to drought and hot weather. He suggested we reschedule a month later so we did. Same deal the next month he called couple days before the hunt and appoligized with the news of no elk. He offered to refund the money to avoid having a bad trip.

Its been five five months of lies about check in the mail.

I will never again book a hunt without a written contract. State law in Colorado allows you to sue for three times the amount of the theft plus attorney fees.I hired a lawyer and got my money refunded.
