Give me a break.
CV19 and the Governments screwed over LOTS of people not just Canadian outfitters. My African hunting friends have taken a huge hit. Business owners all over the world were not allowed to operate losing income and closing businesses which will never re-open.
Some of the Africa guys offered heavily discounted hunts last year when travel was allowed. They didn't make money but they did open their camps, pay staff and fill some quota. I actually went on one of those hunts last October.
Outfitters who got paid deposits or paid in full should have kept back money knowing their season would not happen. I don't think it's right for Shockey to ask the hunt money be a donation. If I was in the situation with an outfitter I had hunted with previously I might donate something but it's wrong to expect the hunter to be out his full cost.
