General Contract InstructionsBelieve it or not, the State of Alaska requires a contract such as this. They do not make it easy for you or me. There are multiple pages to this contract detailing the agreement. Use the Contract Forms to select the appropriate hunt agreement listed below. To fill out the contract, simply fill in the blanks for the kind of trip you are interested in and the dollar amount listed in the brochures or web pages for that trip. Some trip dates may not be modified and should be entered as advertised while other trips have more open dates for arriving and departing times. Note the trip times or trip time frames you would like on the form. The pick up point is usually detailed in the brochures and on the web for the particular trip. Several are listed on the contract forms. Fairbanks based trips the designated pick up is at Fairbanks or a Yukon River village as advertised. Deposits and PaymentsThe standard deposit is 50% for a reservation at the time of booking payable with a personal check. When the hunt is the following year; I have made provisions in the contract to allow for 2 deposit payments, 10% and 40%, The initial deposit is due with the contract and a second deposit due on some date for a total deposit of 50%. For spring bear hunts the second deposit is due November 1 and for fall hunts the second deposit is due January 1. It is not in place as such for a counter offer unless you a need a financial waiver for a short period of time. The final payment is due 60 days before the hunt or paid in camp with cash or travelers checks. When paying 60 days before arrival you may pay with a personal check again. When ever possible, pay with a personal check. Banks now put a longer hold on other banks' cashier checks than a personal check! They no longer trust them (other banks or their checks). Personal checks can not be accepted in the field. In field payments for kill fees and small ticket items like game bags or Sat phone time are payable in cash. You may prepay kill fees with your final payment 60 days ahead and I will refund your money if needed at the end of the hunt. When using Travelers checks call your bank to get $500 checks for most of the balance and round out the rest with $100s. Try not to get 50- $20s. ContractsThe Specific Changes space allows you or APGS to clarify or modify openly any aspect of the contract. The signature page is self explanatory. The Liability Release form and the Medical Information sheets are self explanatory. The Medical Information will not be released to anyone not involved with your hunt. It will not be kept on file. Your trip is confirmed in writing with a signed copy of the contract from APGS. Once confirmed you will begin to receive more headline forms such as license or tag applications, Travel Itinerary plans (Your airline and flight #s, dates and times of your arrival and departure, and emergency contact #s), Trophy and Meat Transfer (for handling the meat and trophies from the field to the airlines, to the butcher, to donate, or to the taxidermist etc.), informational letter containing travel suggestions, trophy and meat shipment options, along with routine and emergency contact persons, gear list, hunting or fishing regulations for your trip, etc. Select the desired contract form in pdf.
