MR. HAEG: Because when I paid him his loyalty is to me and me alone.

MR. HAEG: Ok as far as me providing – being a guide for a whole year -um- I discussed this at
length with -um- my attorneys. Mr. Cole said in a – for the plea negotiating – plea negotiation
that we were working on that I would have to give up my guide license – give up guiding – not
give up guide license. He said I would have to give up guiding for a whole year and so based on
that word from my attorney relayed to me from the prosecutor my wife and I sent back an entire
years income to the people we had taken deposits for and that hurt us bad. Because we had to
continue paying for our lodge leases and all our permits and our bonding and everything. We
went – I have immense overhead – I gave up all the money the whole entire gross and paid my
whole overhead and slit our own throats because my own attorney said that's what the prosecutor
required. I fired Mr. Cole because of his refusal – because of his lying to me that he couldn't
enforce that agreement and when I hired Mr. Robinson – Mr. Robinson says "go book hunts – do
– make money – try to do something" and I said "I can't – I told them I wouldn't guide" and I
believe Mr. Robinson probably told me well if you're not guiding with them in the field it isn't
guiding. I don't know at the time. I was listening very attentively to my attorneys at this point.
The first one said cancel a whole years hunts so we do it. It takes me – usually in a guiding
outfit with hunters that it's their main –uh- fun thing they do for the whole year and it takes up a
big hunt – they book these things 2 and 3 and 4 years out in advance. Mr. Cole told me to send
back all the deposits for an entire year. My wife and I did so. Then for the agreement that we
had done that and spent so much money the State attorney broke the deal after most of the guide
season was done. After when we could do anything about it.
