Policies & Procedures

CANCELLATIONS, PUSH OUTS, CARRY OVERS, POLICIES & PROCEDURES

DEPOSITS:

All monies received are non-refundable. We suggest third-party travel cancellation insurance in the event that you cannot make your trip. A link or contact number to one notable carrier is available on the Riata website homepage. Meat processing and taxidermy are not included in the cost of your hunt. The paperwork required to ship your trophy and meat is done by an independent taxidermist. This is done at the client’s expense. Please inform us well in advance if you plan to take your meat home. We do not process meat so processing will be the client’s responsibility.

WOUNDING POLICY:

Trophy fees are due on all wounded game.

RESPONSIBILITY:

Whereas the parties hereto acknowledge that an expedition for the purpose of hunting wildlife is or can be a dangerous or hazardous venture, and further acknowledge that any person or persons undertaking a venture such as this assumes a dangerous risk which includes a far greater scope of risk than ordinary risk.

Monies received are non refundable. Trips are non-cancellable & non-returnable. Trips may not be “ carried over” to subsequent later dates. In some special cases client may place a person in someone else’s spot on the trip without penalty. If Riata works on clients behalf to resell a trip and rebook it and fill a cancellation, a minimum of a 20% rebooking fee will apply. There are no guarantees a trip can be resold. 

Cancellation insurance is available on the date of booking only, and is highly recommended. Info is on Riata website. 
All deposits and payments to Riata are non refundable.  In the unlikely event of an increase in the rate of the hunt greater than 10%  (except government fees) beyond Riata Hunting Ranches control, you will be notified and given the option to accept the new price or reject it and receive a refund of your deposit and payments. Any and all Government fees and licensees and permits and taxes are subject to change.  Any Riata approved “push outs” will incur a 20% fee. Any requests for change of date must be received in writing 120 days in advance of trip date.
