LAST EDITED ON Feb-06-16 AT 01:43PM (MST)[p]Oftentimes I see people come here and ask if Huntin Fool is worth it, which magazine to get, etc. I thought I'd pass on my 1st hand review of their service that was a little annoying to me.
I've been a member for probably 8 years. For $100, it sure is nice to have a good quick reference for state deadlines, changes in the regulations, etc. $100 aint bad for that and is a pretty good cost tradeoff for me. But, they do advertise that it's more than a magazine. They advertise all these other services, so if they're going to advertise them, why not take them up on it?
I called the Huntin Fool to speak with a consultant on 1/26. That's coming up on 2 weeks ago folks. Sweet lady answers the phone and says that the consultants are busy on the phone and she'll add my phone to the "message board" whatever that is. Takes down my name and number. I was cool with that because after all, the Wyoming elk deadline was looming as well as Arizona. But a call back within 2 weeks seems like ample enough time to give someone a return jingle. Sure my message could've gotten lost in the shuffle, but the "message board" made me think there was method to the madness. I hate to keep calling back and being a pain in the a. I'm on the phone 24/7 with my job, so I know what it's like. I'm a CPA, and if a client called me and I didn't return the call for 2 weeks, I probably wouldn't have a client anymore. Different scenario and different $$'s, I know.
But like I said, for $100, what do you expect? But maybe they shouldn't hype up all the services they offer if they can't fulfill them because they're creating false expectations. Watch the intro to their tv show and you'll see all these services I mention.
I still say it's worth the $100 I pay them and I'll keep it, but the service isn't what it used to be. And if I needed some raffle tickets or had a question on a raffle hunt, I bet I'd gotten a return call already. Obviously there was good and bad with former management, but I miss Jason and the crew. They always made the time to chat.
My rant is over and I'm sick, so my nerves could be a bit on the short end anyway - just my $.02 ...!!
