  I went to flyway outdoors for an early season bow hunt. I have messaging correspondence with the owner that the 1k we paid included 3 nights lodging. When me and my hunting partner showed up, we were directed to a local hotel in which we had to pay. I have picture proof that lodging was supposed to be included. The owner guaranteed we would at least see a buck or he would bring us back this year, free of charge. Once again, I have picture proof of this. Well, I didn't even come close to seeing a buck. Very few deer at all actually. He never held to his word on bringing us back for free. I would request a refund on the 1k hunt and lodging fees. I have proof we were supposed to have a place to stay for free and a hunt this year would have cost at least one thousand.

  I contacted Chris from fly way outdoors in ******* ****. #to reach him is *** *** **** . Told him I was looking for a youth turkey hunt. He said he offers 100 % shot opportunity guaranteed. The total cost is $350 . Gave him a deposit of $175 on 02/23/2022 at 1820 . The remaining balance was on 04/07/2022 at 1327. I'm asking for a full refund as he made zero attempts to try to harvest a turkey. Was told fully guided I had to set blind up and decoys. He made no attempt to move to other location he slept for hrs. There was others he had guided same weekend. I'm sure those folk had same results. I would like a review left on his page that he has blocked for people to leave review. Doesn't seem fair for him to scam people . The hunt was on 04/09/2022. Witch wasn't successful. Very dishonest person.

  There was a blizzard outside. They didn't come prepared for the weather. In the snow the turkeys are not very active at all. He hunted 1 day out of the 2. I said we would switch spots for hunting. He said at the end of the hunt he was unhappy that he was going home and we offered half his money back. The consumer said no. Nobody offers a %100 shot rate. We did everything we possibly could to make him happy. We had another youth hunter out with same conditions on Saturday. We ended up taking them to the same place we were going to take David and his son and they shot a turkey. He payed to go hunting and I took him hunting. It is not a scam.
