      Bobby you need to draft up a binding contract and have an attorney friend if you happen to have one give it a look for its validity and make sure it covers you from any liabilities for injuries and it sees to it that you receive half upon saving any date on your books that is non refundable without a 45 day cancellation and payment IN FULL prior to cracking off the 1st safety IN the blind. No guarantees 0f limits but no refunds, ect.....Good luck buddy. Always enjoy the videos. Smack em and stack em! Rob-Illinois

      A successful hunt or fishing trip is not about the limit. It's about the memories. A real guide will do everything in their power to get you your game, but it's not always possible. You pay for the guide's experience, access to the land and equipment.

    Contact the sheriff in the county you live in and file theft of service charges. Since you are technically a self run business providing a service for a set price it’s easily documented. If they refuse to pay you that’s a cut and dry charge. Depending on the amount of money each owed, charges can be a misdemeanor or felony charge.

He did everything he could to put the odds in our favor but the bad weather and morning tournament, both completely out of his control, messed up the fishing for us. Is what it is.

Every guy and their brother from Texas drove to Chalmette to fish that tournament and blew out the grass. It was up to me whether I cancelled the 2nd week or not, and I didn't want to. He was very clear that the fishing was no good and the weather was not ideal. He has bills to pay, just like me, and he did his best and worked 2 hours past the 8 hours I had paid for.

    Geesh!! That's a hit man. I work for myself as a frame to finish and everything in between carpenter. Similar to your situation here I've finished a project thinking I'll square up with the customer on what's owed only to discover he/she disappeared or flat out won't pay. Unless one wants or has the means to take legal action you eat it. Most customers/clients won't pay upfront due to those bad eggs who have taken money and ran. Yet seems like everyone forgets that it goes the other way. Clients or customers pull bullshit and screw the company or provider of whatever service.

We have enough haters out there after us. Hunters/fishermen “women” are a brotherhood/sisterhood. We need to respect each other. What they did is theft of services. Most of all they broke a sacred code. I hope they paid you, I feel bad and I don’t even know you. God will reward you and then some.

I made sure he had his cash before his boat trailer touched the ramp just to avoid a bad situation. Yes it was a lot of money but he taught us a lot!!
