RE: Trophy Fees - Fair?
Cherokee the only thing I do not agree with is Outfitters figure their price on 5 days of hunting(or what ever the week is set up as) .. In other words your business is set up to make money on guiding 5 or 6 days (whatever) and at the year end make a salary and the company has a little jingle left. Therefore you are paid no matter what I shoot...if it takes until the 11th hour your still paid..
If I choose to pass up a 290 bull the first day and we hunt all week and see bigger bulls but I don't shoot and then on the 11th hour I shoot a smaller bull than the first one you are still paid. You are paid to guide me 5 days win or loose.
Lets switch this a minute ..First day first hour I shoot a trophy it's over do you give me a rebate because we only hunted 1 hour?
