Atchesons strongly recommends trip cancellation insurance, because your down payment is your guarantee that you will be there. The outfitter/guide who accepts the down payment guarantees to provide his custom service.  At some point in time all deposits or partial payments become totally non-refundable.  Ask your outfitter before you book.  Sometimes a down payment can be reasonably rearranged if you cancel well in advance, or if you or the outfitter finds an equal and licensed replacement.  A cancellation fee of 10 to 15% of the gross of the hunt may be charged!  It may be impossible or costly to find a replacement client.  AT SOME POINT IN TIME, ALL DOWN PAYMENTS BECOME TOTALLY NON-REFUNDABLE!

Payment Schedule

Down payment and final payment requirements vary. Discuss this with your outfitter before you book! Hunts booked over six months in advance generally require a 50% down payment; over a year in advance generally requires a 25% down payment. However, often placing a 50% down payment a year or even two years in advance gives you the hunt at this years’ rate, saving you 10% to 15%. Most outfitters require full payment 60 to 90 days in advance of your hunt.
