Sled,
I am sad to say there are some of them in the industry but Rich is probably the worst one you could deal with. I have many hunter come to me after booking with rich and having a similar experience. I was hoping he had left this world but if this incident is recent then he may not have. I have even spoken with outfitters that he has scammed in one way or another.
He will meet someone someday in NY that will put him on track on his scams. I book over 300 hunters per year in 36 states and canada. Sell a large volume of vouchers each year and have a large clientelle that grows every year due to our service, quality and low prices. We would never have gotten that without a good reputation.
All of the regular agents I know of their word is their reputation. I would not have been in business in 15 years if I wern't reputable. We try to police our own and he is out orf the loop but we don't have anyone in NY to pay him a visit.
I can't fix it but I can help you get on a good hunt at a low price and I will do everything possible to help makeup for your loss.
Sorry,
Understand abd willing to help.
