Seem like old news but if an outfitter or booking agent ruffled my feathers, put money on me immediately making an issue over it, not a year later. It seems like the client here hasn't much to do....just sayin'.

Two sides to the story.
Just my simple observation, but whether on this forum or other forums, if it takes the allegedly aggrieved person months or years to "warn" others, then the issues are not what they seem, and the aggrieved party is often, if not usually, the source of the issue.

have never understood someone "hinting" about how they got treated on a hunt......if you got something to say..say it or shut up.. so it( looks) like a simple case of this al , lying to get attention...…..him being a good old boy and all...….safari man syndrome……...bob

subtle and discreet online reviews are a joke,
Most often the OP comes out looking bad rather than the outfitter,
Similar to references from outfitters, cherry picked and so misleading....

So he gets information from you to book the hunt and doesn’t actually book it through you and goes straight to the outfitter? Did you get a commission or was the hunt price negotiated down? Not that it matters, I’m just curios
You’d think that email where he says he was happy with the hunt tells us the entire story but when you can tie that in with the last correspondence you had with Al being March 21 and this post being started on March 21 that’s unreal.
Al? What’s the word? Have anything else to add?

Way back in the early 80s I wanted to kill a big antelope. I booked one of my few guided hunts through them. I once stopped by their place in Butte and the old man gave me a full tour of the place, I was just a kid at the time, but he took time to show me around Jack Jr was polite and cordial as well. They did me good on the goat too... ![[Linked Image]](http://i63.tinypic.com/20qmnbb.jpg)

I am really wondering what is going on here. There are three sides to every story, Your side, their side, and somewhere in-between all that the truth.
I don't know that I would ever use Jack Atcheson & Sons services but wouldn't rule it out either. I don't see any credible proof of the accusations against Atcheson &Sons.
Did you employ Atcheson & Sons services? Can you show us proof of that? Sounds to me they did you a favor and gave you a recommendation.

I recently had a disappointing elk hunt, booked thru them. They lied about the guide/outfitter, misrepresented how the horseback hunt would be conducted, and then have not followed through on how a future hunt would be arranged.
When I finally contacted Keith today, he was belligerent, and rude in his response to me concerning the way I've been treated. Jack Sr would rip Keith a new one, if he were still around.
Heads up for any of you considering booking thru them. There is a good chance it would not play out as described by them. are you going to clear this up...….or continue to lie ( so it seems )……...to lie about someone in business , to cause them financial harm....is really being a chicken shct……...bob

FWIW
I called and spoke with them three years ago re. a hunt in Alberta..Very vague answers to my questions and the area of the hunt. Just no details at all.
I was not ready to commit thousands of dollars without some concrete info on the hunt.

I have no dog in this fight, but I must say that YukonAl's silence is curiously deafening since Keith Atcheson came on to refute his allegations.

I don’t have a dog in the fight either and have always gotten along with Al so I hate bumping this to the top but an explanation would be nice. This type of behavior is inexcusable IMO I know a guy that’s hunted with Al, I am going to get his take

If and when he shows that contract he still has a lot of explaining to do.
