You are 100% correct CDN and they are licenced to do so. Our hunter host regulation goes far beyond specifying compensation, however......................

"A Hunter Host may not provide services for gain or reward, or accept a fee for services, directly or indirectly."

There's no getting around the fact that offering a straight hunt trade is "gain or reward"

Make some friends here and go hunting with them and then that friend comes hunting with you one day without it being part of an arragement advertised on a messageboard, then you are using the hunter host program as intended.

Some guys may disagree with this law and some make valid arguements but it doesn't change the fact that it's the law!
