[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1467226, member: 33159"] Question for you guys on how you would handle this. I'm going on a mountain goat hunt in October. A friend of mine put this trip together, found the outfitter and asked me to come along. We drew our tags and finalized our dates, flights, etc. I found in the contract for the hunt the cost was now $1,000 more than what we were quoted. I went back and found the email the outfitter sent my buddy and it stated "the price of the hunt is "x", bring a buddy along and it goes down to "z". Long story short, the outfitter won't honor what he stated in the email. Starting saying that price only covered him guiding us and not the 2 other guides he's bringing along. Needless to say, I'm ****ed. This is probably a once in a lifetime hunt for my friend and the $1,000 has more of an effect on my friend than it does me. For me, this is all about being a man of your word and principle. The outfitter knows how I feel because I made it very clear that I was not happy, yet he's sticking to his guns. I figure I'll tip the 2 other guides myself and not the outfitter/guide and tell him why I'm doing it. If he said, hey I made a mistake, how about we meet halfway, then I'd be ok with it........but he didn't. Your thoughts [/QUOTE]
