I've booked my two Zim hunts with Atcheson's, two different outfitters. In both cases I sent a large check to Atcheson's after the hunt. I suppose if I had tried to stiff the outfitter, I would have been sued in the USA and if they tried to stiff me, Atcheson's could threaten them with no more clients. That's the way to do it.
An earlier time I dealt directly with Dudley Rodgers. I sent him a deposit of $4,000 but had a medical emergency. He refused to either refund the deposit or apply it to the next year. Obviously Rodgers lost all my future business.
