wow.....
Simply horrendous actions by the guide as they are supposed to provide you an enjoyable time with them so you'll return and/or tell other to use them.
Maybe they didn't want him to return or recommend them to his friends? It's not like they want every guy that ever books a hunt to come back.
It's like any other business. Some customers/clients aren't worth it. It's also the job of the guy booking the hunt to find out what type of operation it is and give them their expectations before booking to see if it's a good fit and they can accommodate what that hunter wants. Not trying to offend abhelg, I'm sure he did his due diligence, sometimes it unfortunately doesn't work out.
Pretty much everyone I know in my line of work realizes after gaining some experience that 10% of the people take up 90% of your time. I do my best to not do business with anyone I'm fairly certain is in that 10% and I cut bait quick and try to get rid of them if they sneak by before realizing it. Life is short. We spend a lot of our lives working....to let idiots and crazies be over demanding and make work miserable is to let them make your life miserable. If you're that desperate to where you need to claw for that 10%'s business and put up with their crap....find a new line of work.
