No offense taken1 But get the facts straight - it was $25!! HA HA.
No, you are right. I read the other thread in the Elk forum too and piecing the info together leads me to believe you have a legitimate argument and should do what you can to get your deposit back. Especially if it took 10 years to draw that tag and you were counting on using that Oufitter to get you to the area. Sure, the weather is a bad thing, but in this case, I would have done some hunting one way or the other. I would have told him "I am in Flagstaff and on my way. We can talk about it when I get there."
Sorry you had such a bad experience.
HOOK 'EM!
