Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

I meant to edit the original post but deleted it by accident.
I was going to go on a hunt of a lifetime for mountain lion this month but found out just in time that I was getting burnt. We had thought we did our homework but found out that the outfitter only had two dogs. He had bragged to us about killing 180 and 190 pound cats. We bought our tags and were really excited about going on this hunt. I had to cancel one hunt this year for elk with a very good friend of mine in Idaho due to an idiot that I had sold my house too. Back to the story. I called the outfitter and told him that I wanted to hunt with my bow if that was possible. He told me that many of his hunters had harvested them with a bow. I was really stoked now. I dreamt of this hunt for a long time. What was supposed to happen was he was to call us as soon as there was snow on the ground off we would go. Well he never called after two snows. We called him and his excuse was that his snowmobile was broke down. Ok things happen I understand that. Two more weeks go by and it snows again no call. We call him, his excuse was his snowmobile broke down ( gues he forgot he already used that one. SO we decide to call the DNR and they flat out tell us that this happens all the time, they get your deposit and never call you for the hunt. So much for a dream hunt in Dulce New Mexico on the Jicarilla ranch. I am BUMMED

Wow, sorry I am sorry about your luck! I never realized that the thugs would go there so I guess you open up a new set of eyes here. I agree though that you need to check everyone out that makes adds saying things that sound to good to be true probaly is to good to be true. Again sorry about your luick.

Ouch that sucks. Are you able to get that deposit back?

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

thats my fear about bookin a hunt. i am gunna get many references before i ever send money to someone.

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

Dang pat that sucks bud, especially when you already had your elk hunt canceled also. Hopefully you can find a way to get your money back.

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

I would call him and tell him you and a couple of your law enforcement buddies are coming over to get your money back ,just to see what he says. You got nothing to lose at this point.

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

Sorry to hear that Pat. I was looking forward to meeting you on that Elk hunt as well.

Hey, give that good friend a call about a coug hunt. His bro Rob knows a few good guys in Riggins over the hill from me that love to run thier dogs. Having a shooter is always a plus ;)

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

Yea trout I was ;looking forwaqrd to meeting you too. I am goingto call our buddy adn find out about his friend for a cat, I am also going to try and see if he'll let me come out this fall for that other hunt too. I probably blew my shot at coming back. We'll see.

I still can't believe i had both of my hunts screwed up somebody else.

Pat Ely:

Was your hunt on the Jicarilla Reservation or Ranch?

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

That really sucks. Have you been able to get your money back??

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

Pat-

I'm sure Troy would be more than happy to have you out next fall. He may not have the time to take you out like last fall, but am sure he'd point you in the right direction.

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

what was the name of the outfitter, should make others aware so they can be wary of booking with this guy. I had a great lion hunt with Sunrise Outfitters in southern Utah, highly recommend these guys.

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

Handloader I was going to hunt the reservation

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

that just plain sucks!!!!!!! Sorry to hear that Pat.

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
 

And now to top it off we decide to go to Texas since the cat hunt was canceled to try our luck with some hogs. Well we got there and we didn't get a hog one. We saw a 20 lber and that was it. I just can't win.

RE: Got burnt and I am so bummed
