Sounds like a really sad situation, I feal for your friend that had his hunting dream crushed by some PH. I can't belive that some PHs have so little respect for their clients. I've run across a few guides like this if it is made known to me up front I would cancle the trip and reschedule with a PH that has the proper respect for the person whos MONEY is supporting him. It happens far to often that people who work in the hunting and fishing industry are critical and condecending of the hand that feeds them.

I would rather loose the trophy fee, go home empty handed, rescheduale my trip, or get tossed before a guide fires his rifle. If he did I woud not take the trophy home, unless I could sell it. Then I would do my best to get a refund.

Before every one jumps on me I'm not talking about the professional hard working guides that enjoy what they do and treat their clients with respect. They provided a great service that makes hunting in new places possible. To them I give a hardy thanks.
