Title: My bear hunt to Hunters point cancelled.
Post by: koger on September 11, 2012, 06:24:00 PM
Got the news yesterday, dont expect my dad to make it thru the weekend, long bout of illness and log list of serious health problems. last few years, took a sudden turn for the worst. Called Eldon and told him we would not be there, lost my deposit, could not carry over to next year due to late date notice, or so he said. Oh well, family is more imprtant than hunting or money. If someone closer to the camp would like to go, I have a deposit for 2 people, I would take 1/2 my money back.

Sam, so sorry for that. My dad passed in 1990 and it was very important that I was with him. Wouldn't have had it any other way. I will email you....I have an idea if someone doesn't take  you up on the hunt. I hope your dad's situation improves but if he doesn't improve you will not be sorry for cancelling the hunt...trust me on that one.

Just so you all know...I was able to talk to Eldon today and if Sam wants to use his deposit for a  hunt next year he can. Eldon is a very decent and fair man. Can't say that for all his clients. I have seen some leave camp without paying him so he has had to implement some rules that are difficult to get by. Too many bad experiences especially for folks he doesn't know. Sam will have his money go towards a future hunt if that is what he decides to do. I've already emailed Sam the details of the discussion I had with Eldon.
