No offer made to hunt in the U.S. as a replacement. I asked for my deposit back, he texted �lol�. He has kept my deposit.

First of all, I give you my condolonces for being ripped off. That said, I didn't have to search for long to find this:

Rich's Hunting Adventures Review

It may not do you any good now, but for future reference you should ALWAYS speak with 2 or 3 hunters who have hunted with an outfitter. With internet search features and multiple internet forums it should also be very easy to get information on an outfitter.

Just curious, did you buy this hunt on eBay?

Also, why did you wait for 10 months before taking any action?
