Taking a small group to idaho next year on a hunt. was hoping on some feedback. we started planning about 18 months out. A few of the poeple are taking awhile to get there first round of payments in. now remind you this is a group of friends. we are planning this far out so everyone can have time to save cash. the only expense we are trying to cover up front is the lodging. The cost of the trip, tags included is $1800.00. that includes their tags for deer, elk, wolf, but allows them to take a bear, and mountain lion as well, food, fuel, and lodging. Is asking for $250 toward the lodging to much to as 12 months out? just want to make sure we know who is serious about going. and the upfront cash allows us to get the gear on a discount during the off season. would love some good input.
