We had a bear guide in Alaska who charged a grand a day twenty one day min. Clients stayed at his house food included in price and he was booked most of the time.His brothers charged half that and ten day min. but were younger and you camped out. Many times a 21 day hunter would get his bear in the first few days but decide to stay around and take pics as the time was paid for. Well the guides wife was a drunk on the highest level and not that great of a cook and with in a few days of takeing a bear most would just say by and leave,no tip needed. Well one hunter came to town stopped by the shop to get paper work in order and was all ready complaining about the houseing. Later that day our big time guide got him his bear a mile from town heading to the airport to do a fly around and check things out. It was a nice bear to be sure.So with in 24 hours of a 21 day hunt the bear was bagged and realy to be made into something. The hunter realy wanted to leave town but also wanted some money back,no way did he want to spend 20 more days with the guides wife and her drinking. No deal on money back but will take you to the airport today if you like. On the third day the hunter started messing in his pants and would just sit by the stove and watch t.v., he come by the sporting goods store to visit some,clean of course. On the sixth day the hunter was given $15,000 dollars back and taken to the airport.The guide complained about this hunter till I moved and may still be complaining but we all knew Ron had finely met his match and cheared the hunter. When you spend money you always have some control over it.
