To be honest, most agents wouldn't be able to give a reliable answer to that type of question..... they would just be telling you what they think you want to hear. A good agent would probably have said, give me a few days and I'll find out.

Whenever anyone books a hunt through an agent it's a good idea to ask to be put in touch with the outfitter personally. If it's an ethical agent, he won't have a problem with it and if it's an ethical outfitter he won't try to cut the agent out and if one or the other isn't behaving ethically then you don't want to do business with them anyway.

The problem is there are a lot of unethical people and people who simply don't know the business and are trying to make a few bucks by becoming an instant expert out there, on both sides of the fence, so it pays to be cautious in your choice of agents and outfitters you do business with.
