I have avoided auction hunts for all the reasons this discussion is taking place.... However I did meet a guy who had bought one and was planning to upgrade the hunt to include a Kudu... The outfitter asked him $4500 trophy fee and then gave him a "deal" for only $3500! Sounds like an outfitter taking advantage to me. I told the guy a kudu should be a lot less than that.
I think the price list should be disclosed before the auction so a potential bidder knows if it is competitive.... It sounds like the client this string was started about was taking his bargain shopping to the limit but I also wonder if everything was fully disclosed accurately. And for sure there is guilt of not writing things down and having it fully understood.
