Tell him to consider that hundred bucks a refund for no air-condtitioning and no breakfast. Sounds like poor business practice to me. If he was running a good business and followed through with everything promised I would say you owe him the fee.

My cousin's electric company once screwed up on checking his meter. So, they sent him a bill that included a fee marked "estimated amount due." He sent them back amuch smaller check with the notation "Estimated payment" on it.

RE: pay more after you leave.....?
OK heres my take on the matter.I understand that it was a hunt were extra charges apply if a trophy hog is killed,but to not find the hog then to call only after you left and tell you that he estamates that the hog was 10 lbs over the trophy limit is ludacrus,now if the animal was recovered while still there I would say pay the man,or if there was a way he could prove it was your hog and verify the weight then I would sa pay the man,but based on the info you have provided I would have to say no way would he get another red cent from me.

the fact that I did pay is the issue, the fee was 250.00 for the weekend that gets you accomodations, meals, and 1 hog up to 150lbs.
now his rules are if you draw blood then it counts as a kill, i was fine with that. but calling me with an "estimate" of 160lbs. that just seems shady.
the whole trip had its shady moments, breakfast was to be included, no breakfast. air conditioned bunk house, he told us he cut the cord off of it because the last guys there left it on. also before he weighed my buddy's hog, he said, "my scales are about 5 lbs off, they show 5 lbs to much" once the hog was weighed, 150lbs, he wanted the trophy fee, we all said hangon a sec, you just told us it was 5lbs off. with his next breath, he said "no i didn't, but I will let this one slide..."
this guy is a crook, in my eyes.

Did you get a good look at the hog before you shot it? Didn't know if you seen any unique markings on the hog that he would only know, if in deed heactually found it. Tell him to discribe what it looked like to you, may give you a good idea if he really found it. Unless you discribed it in detail while you were looking for it? Just a thought. Then go tell him about the AC and no breakfast and call it even.......and don't go bacK, he does sound shady!

10LB difference on an "estimated" weight when you weren't there, I don't think so Tim.[:'(] If you were inclined to pay it for some reason, I would ask for the skull....you did say the cutters were pretty long right? After four days, the hide and meat would be pretty useless, but you could still do a Euro mount.
