I see this is getting a little more attention here. When this first popped up on the General Big Game forum, there seemed to be a reaction that, well they should have bought trip insurance. Buying trip insurance is indeed good advice, and I will never book another expensive hunt without doing so. Perhaps some of what actually transpired could be considered in doubt. But now Blair has responded (response looks suspiciously like they lawyered-up to get it written), and they haven't explained away as much as they seem to think. I'll leave aside the legalities, even though it seems they have a due diligence obligation. But to claim that they acted professionally and ethically? Not by my definition of those terms. And what a poor business decision! Almost certainly they will lose more in the long run than the commission and possible mark-up on this one hunt.
