BOOKING POLICY--All hunts are considered booked upon receiving a signed contract and deposit for the hunt. Remaining balance is due upon arrival if paying cash or 30 days before arrival if paying with check. If hunt is based 100% off drawing a tag, a $1000 deposit will be needed to hold the spot and refunded if unsuccessful or if successful remaining balance to equal %50 of hunt cost is due immediately. If hunt is OTC then a 50% will be due with contract and 50% due on arrival.
CANCELLATION POLICY -- Deposits are non-refundable, unless you fail to draw the tag, but are transferable to another client or group with outfitters approval. Deposits can be rolled over to the next year with outfitters approval but not guaranteed.
GRATUITY POLICY -- Gratuity is not mandatory or factored into hunt price but is appreciated. Guides work hard to help clients hunt be successful and to help them have a great experience. Industry standard is between 10-15% of listed hunt price.
Wounding Policy -- If a client wounds an animal, by drawing blood or not, and the wound is felt by the guide or outfitter to be fatal or possibly fatal then the clients hunt is over, unless the outfitter feels like the situation warrants another opportunity.
