RE: Refund or No refund??
Interesting situation. IMO, the Outfitter would have been fair had he/she let you know up front if your deposit would be refunded. What expense have they had so far to hold the deposit? I highly doubt that they turned away people due to you booking with them since the draw odds are not getting everyone a tag.
I think a good outfitter would have refunded the money.................
