I have known Sharecropper for over seven years and have hunted and done business with him many times. I can assure everyone here, that he is one of the most honest people I have ever known. $50 is not even close to what it would take for this man to sell his integrity. In his line of work, he would be fired for the smallest dishonest act. I don't know the OP, but an apology is needed, as I'm sure his actions were honorable and if I had to guess where the problem lies, I would say that the mail service dropped the ball here, not him.
