How would you approach this.

The last three years were financially hard for me, lost my hunting lease, then was told to plan to be deployed to the border most of hunting season. I found an awesome guy who owns a ranch that usually wins in low cazadores and Muay grande every year. He promised me a hunt for 160-180 inch buck in exchange for a pistol and an expensive watch. I take 4 days off work and the day before I leave to go he backs out but asks me if I know a guy, this guy he's asking about guides at a lot of places and is my estranged nieces step brother in law. I said not really. Well the ranch owner told me yesterday this guy told him I was a conman and really had money etc. he also bad talked my character. This guys wife has been sick and I've prayed for him and her but never talked to him outside of Facebook. He cost me 4 days of work and a great hunting experience. I blocked him on Facebook, but beware of the outfitter/guide brokers you deal with. I'm not going to run his name through the mud especially with his wife battling an illness that I pray she beats. It just irks me

I wouldn't do anymore than you already did about that issue. Good luck finding a place to hunt

[Pushbutton2]

I would simply tell the rancher I understand your position. However this person is my estranged nieces step brother in law and apparently has a beef with me.
May I continue to pray for you and your wife?

Call him and ask why?

Right now he needs to focus on his wife he doesn't need me bothering him. One day, I just think now would be wrong time and place. BTW he screwed me over but prayers for his and he would rock

[okrattler]

Sick wife or not he needs the crap kicked out of him. I'd call him and ask him what his problem is.

Or just move on and wait. Karma tends to catch up with people like that.

[hooligan]

As him what his problem is and then cut ties. Sorry about his wife but no reason to be a POS to people

[gatorgar]

If he can bad mouth you, you can just as easily name him. He had no call to say those things. Sucks about his wife, but he put you in a bind and what comes around goes around

The decription of events sound much like the lead in to a white trash joke.
My cousins stepbrothers best friends ex brother in law.
Sucks the ranch owner is basing his decision on some irrelevant fool.

Right or wrong, the guy based his opinion on something he was told............just as you have.
The OP's first description of him is that he is an "awesome guy". So he is either an awesome guy who believed what he was told, or he isn't an awesome guy to begin with and the OP was wrong about his character.
The way I read the OP's story is that he believes the guy was misinformed.

If I believed he is an "awesome guy" who was misinformed, I would send him a note explaining the situation and offering prayers to his wife and family.

I thought the niece's boyfriend's stepbrother or whoever was the outfitter who bad mouthed the OP. And the landowner is someone else.
Deal was made with landowner, outfitter (cousin's brother, whatever) heard about it and stopped the hunt from taking place, for reasons of his own unknown to ua

That's what happened. The ranch owner is an awesome guy. I have never spoken to the guide in my life except on social media commenting on nice animals he guided hunters to. I think he's a pretentious ***** myself but karma will get him. The hunt never happened because guy lied about me Apparently he was hired by the ranch owner to guide for me and then he just trashed me not even knowing me. I commented on a pic of one the ranches monster deer the other day and the rancher said call him. I asked him why he backed out last minute and he told me what went down.

There are some snakes and cheats in this hunting business. I prefer to keep my dealings with people to a minimum. If a hunt opportunity doesn't almost fall in my lap, then I don't fool with it. Often times, too much wheeling and dealing leads to trouble. It's a shame really.

Good luck.
