I thought Jerome had this covered.

Some PH's and outfitters went the extra mile and provided additional information that members were requesting.

As with all business decisions the more information you have the better.

Me too James. But I read most offers just in case someone I know might be interested (of course for myself) and I was seeing that so many skipped important information.

Jerome has never demanded a particular format just that "you include all the details"
Those offering hunts, keep skipping important details and then wondering why they were flagged.
So, I just posed a solution.
If they can use it to save time, great. If not, Skull and Cross bones will keep coming out.

Good job Brickburn.

As a consumer I like to see full disclosure in ads. If everything is not transparent I become nervous very quickly.

I agree. To many that offers hunts, give way to little information.

When little information is offered, I most of the time just decide to ignore that outfitter and look for something else.
If he/she is not bothered to take the time to write down proper information, then I guess he/she is not that interested in having me as their customer.

Like when I go to someones site and no prices are shown and very little is said about what is included and not. and you need to send them a request before they give you a price list. Then I don't bother about it.

And if someone comes on this forum with an offer that almost looks to good to be true, but with very little information, then I assume it is to good to be true...
