The reply sounded like a flippant reply to me. Depends on the question and how it was asked.
I find agents are always reluctant to say who an outfitter actually is until they work out if the enquirer is serious.
Hey Matt, ie Australian Shikar, otherwise a lot of them try to book direct and cut out the middleman.
I know a lot of agents who do tell - they dont advertise the fact of course but if a client asks they tell, that is being honest. Most of the better US agents do. from an agency pov it is very easy to cover yourself in that respect with your trusted outfitters - when you get a serious enquiry that you handle yourself you just shoot the outfitter a note to say 'hey I have been talking to this (named)guy' - if the client goes direct then he is an ass (he doesnt like the agent but still takes his advice??) or the outfitter is not trusted. I ask my agents the same thing when they enquire - I want to know if I am speaking to the same people and I want to be upfront. If the agent wont tell they wont be my agent for much longer!!
In this case the service provider is not really an outfitter as such anyway - really just a landowner with a helo and some accomm....
