This is where I think SCI and other orgs go really wrong: they attempt to defy a LAW of economics.
No cost in any transaction isn't ultimately passed on to the customer.
So in a hunt bought at a banquet it can only go two ways:
1.) they donate a hunt and then up charge all other customers to cover this marketing expense
2.) they "donate" a hunt that is actually no deal at all because they intend to charge fees for transport, bags, or some other incidentals to overcome the fiction of "free or included"
I realize this may sound cynical but it is a law of capitalism so don't get mad at me.
I wish SCI wouldn't shake down outfitters for donations because it usually goes poorly for either the seller, the buyer or both.
I'd rather see Outfitters write a check to donate to causes and get rid of these blurred lines in their pricing models.
