Rules of The World: This is VERY Important Information

Please be aware and Read!

Rule 1: All of these vendors have donated to our event to help us raise money to:
a. Protect the freedom to hunt for all hunters not just for any specific species
b. Educate on the value of hunting as a viable wildlife management tool
c. Conservation of wildlife to preserve the heritage of hunting for future generations
d. Do Humanitarian services
(We are here to RAISE money for the goals, not to get you a cheap vacation – that is just a side benefit)

Rule 2: There are taxes thought the world. These cannot be avoided and must be paid on, during or after
your trip. These taxes (VAT’s) are based on the VALUE of your TRIP, NOT what you paid for it! Some of
the more common rates are: Argentina – 21-27%, Belize 12.5%, Canada 5%, South Africa 15%, UK and
most of Europe 15% to 22%, USA 2.9% to 7.25%

Rule 3: Most of these hunting trips are a donation of your vacation time: lodging, food and drink, escorting
you around and some value of trophy’s. The expectation is that you will in turn spend more money on an
expansion of the donation – heck, they just gave you a 10 day trip to someplace better than Disneyland
(Which costs about $18,000 for a Family of 4), please buy some rides!!

Rule 4: Unless stated as part of the donation, you need to pay all costs associated
with your trip. This includes but is not limited to, Airfare, Taxis, a last hop trip from
major airport to the hunt camp (Average $300 per person) or back, hotels, food and
life needs, Taxidermy, dipping etc. If NOT listed as INCLUDED, you must pay for it!!

Rule 5: Without Outfitters, there is no hunting, without Hunters, there are no Outfitters, Without either
there is no money nor need to protect the animals of the Wild Kingdom and they WILL perish. This has
been proven again and again ALL OVER THE WORLD and overall, today herds are bigger and stronger
than they have ever been! This is done by donation money to events such as the one you are attending so
PLEASE, Spend Spend Spend!!

Rule 6: NO Double Dipping! You cannot use 2 donations with the same Outfitter! If you win a game and a
Live auction item with the same Outfitter, we will work with you to fix the issue. We have options and can talk
to the Outfitter so play everything and do not worry, you will not be breaking this rule

Rule 7: Life happens and the world changes (did we already forget about the 2 years of Covid shutdown?)
There will be times when your trip cannot, be accomplished. We at OSCSCI and all of our vendors will do
everything possible to fix any issue. At the end of the day though, we ask that you think about your donation
purchase and work with us too. Requesting a refund has so many variables they cannot be written, but
remember, you will be taking the money back that we at OSCSCI used to pay for your deposit or used on
one of our many education or conservation programs (See Rule 1: )

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND DONATIONS!!!!!
