[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2944946, member: 126670"] Then they say stupid stuff like, despite the extremely high cost we already charged you just to hunt, we can't afford to pay the guide enough, so ya you take care of that by handing them a big wad of cash. By the way that wad of cash is way more than the average working person makes per day, and they will also not declare it on their income tax forms, so its free money. When someone is paying $10,000 to $50,000 for a hunt, depending on what they are hunting, time, etc. They can easily pay living wages out of that if they want to. It's just a few greedy people who are keeping way too much for themselves, like the company owner. I read some ridiculous comments in this thread, like one guy saying that its a 7 hour round trip drive every day from the place they sleep, to where they hunt, so his gas costs are high. Why are you staying somewhere 3.5 hours from where you hunt? Those poor customers who paid a small fortune to hunt, don't want to ride around 7 hours a day in a pickup. Get them accommodations somewhere much closer, or even build some small cabins as accommodations. Any guide doing that to their customers should be paying the customers for wasting their time, not the other way around. Its easy to build some little cabins, they would pay for themselves in 4 weeks at the crazy prices charged for a hunt. A lot of these so called dream hunting trips, sound more like a bad nightmare. Or even just pull a travel trailer up there, and stay in it for the 2 to 4 nights, and then drive out. Travel trailers are relatively cheap, and wouldn't even have to buy it brand new. There are 5 year old ones for sale all the time, almost like new, because they were barely used in those 5 years. Heck put a wood fired hot tub out there for evening relaxation, a small kitchen under a lean to roof, it would be awesome! [/QUOTE]
