Kotzebou Golden Eagle

[LongWayAround]

It'd take a half dozen of those quarter $millions to buy the engine conversion on that plane.

Sure. Most large purchases involve a down payment and financing.

Homes. Trucks. Boats. Airplanes...

Still on the table. If anyone wants to go on a fishing trip of a lifetime out of Kotz I’ll walk you through all of the details and I bet GE will fly you there with your deposit. It’s a sucky situation for sure but having just returned from Alaska money gets spent like wildfire just maintaining daily operations. I was also supposed to go Caribou hunting and after talking with Jared about the potential closures decided against it. Jared made it clear that he had no intention of dropping hunters on top of each other after the closure.

I am not looking for a refund or sympathy. I am just informing others of his business practice. He is not honest. He told me the closure would not go through, it happens every year and to send the money in. If he had any inclination that it would happen he should have spoke up. I completely understand the rules of the contract and that's why I haven't pursued the legal route. I am just informing others of my experience when dealing with Golden Eagle.

Obviously you got your money back or chose the fishing trip. I signed a contract to be dropped for caribou. They denied that and did not fulfil their agreement. Plane and simple, no pun intended!!!!!

Nonrefundable does not mean that GE can change the contract and not deliver on the hunt.

Small claims court is the way.

Wouldn't mind picking your brain on a fishing trip. Been thinking about doing one out of Kotz for years.

They provide some great Sheefish action in midsummer but this year flooded out.

if interested, we have $6000 that needs to be used. I would give a great deal!!

what kind of deal are we talking? Is the deposit transferable?

Same boat. We were reassured by Jared the closure wouldn't happen and we specifically asked about it multiple times.

Bummer for sure especially with other outfitters finding a way to get hunters out. But what can you do. I don't expect to ever see that money again.
