Hi.
I have booked a moose hunt in Canada during the rut next year. The outfitter just bought an operation that has a 100% success rate for the last years. However, friends of mine just came back to Norway after hunting with the same outfitter. They say that the new owner has no idea about what he is doing, none of them connecteed with moose, (I am reluctant to post the name of the operation at this stage). My friends got half their money back after the hunt. We have each paid a 1000USD deposit for the hunt next year. Any chance that we will get the deposit back? How to proceed?

I would say go with your friends impression. If they had problems, I cannot see a year changing anything. Most companies will refund a cancelation deposit since you would be giving them a years notice. It all depends on what your contract says.

Best of luck

The owner just got back to me. He will refund the deposit No hassles. Great!
