I have decided to cancel out on this one as well.  

Best of luck to Steve and the rest of the bunch.

I haven't canceled, but it all depends on Steve's condition.  It's more important for him to heal than to re-injure himself setting up tents and such.

I don't know about the hunt. The guy hasn't been on in forever or answered any private messages or emails. I'd say that speaks volumes about the hunts.

Steve Rattan, aka "Steve71", has been banned from Trad Gang.

1. He failed repeatedly to make good on a swap deal with another Trad Gang member who is now out of a real good bow.

 2. He set up this here "hunt" and got a lotta good members involved that have now wasted both time and money.

I'm sorry to all involved that this person used you all, and Trad Gang, for his personal gain.

Weatherford isn't that big and there are lots of members nearby..let me/us know if there is anything we can do to help the guy that got ripped off.

I like to thank Trad Gang Administration for taking these steps. I would also like to say sorry to those that may have real loses (paid airline tickets, bow and such).  It really would have been fun to meet and hunt with all of you.

I got a call from the guy that was missing his bow saying that a check was on the way.

Steve has flat disappeared from here.  We haven't seen or heard from him since my last post about the call I got.

Unfortunately I may be out a bow also.  He made a down payment and I let him take it home with a promise of final payment the next week.  Well live and learn.

NOT the sites fault Rob, unfortunately the trag archery world isn't immune to the real world. The day has passed when a person could take someone on his word.

 Just like I told a guy I bought a bow from, I wrote him a check and he took it and said thank you. I questioned him about not wanting to see any id. Told him to write down my license number date of birth and all that. He looked at me kind of strange and I told him that buisness is buisness and if a guy is put off by having to show id, then you don't want to do buisness with them

Thanks for the post Rob!
Agree with Nighthawk, definitely not the fault of this great site!  I am sorry for those that lost bows and hope that you all recover.  
  I am also sorry that I didn't get to spend time around the camp fire with the fine folks that had planned to attend.  
  On the positive side, I now have a good pair of snake boots all broke in and ready for a real pig hunt!
  Take care all and I hope that our paths will cross in the near future.

I hope everyone that lost merchandise files a police report. People like Steve should be behind bars
