A deposit is the moment a dream hunt becomes a real one — and the moment your money is on the line. So before you hit send, you'd better know exactly who you're dealing with.

In this episode, Travis Wier walks through the questions every hunter should ask an outfitter before a deposit ever leaves their account. This isn't about being difficult — it's the exact due diligence that separates the guys who come home thrilled from the ones who come home with a story that starts with "I wish I'd asked…". A good outfitter will welcome every one of these questions. The ones who dodge them are telling you everything you need to know.

If you're getting close to booking your first — or next — African hunt, run through this list first.

Questions we cover:
• Deposit, balance, and refund/cancellation terms — in writing
• Who is your actual PH, and how much time will they spend with you
• Real, recent references you can call
• Exactly what's included vs. à la carte (and where the surprise costs hide)
• Licenses, land/concessions, and who's legally responsible
• Trophy handling, dip-and-pack, and export — start to finish
• What happens if weather, travel, or the unexpected hits
