Scalerman and Skeet make a good point- asking for references is a good idea, but be aware that the references given will be people the outfitter knows will give a good reference.
It's no different than what people do on resumes.
So, to get around that, do something called 'parallel referencing'. Call the references listed, ask them your questions, but make sure you ask this question, too: "who else was in camp with you?" Try to get contact info for those people, that are NOT references given to you by the outfitter. If you can contact a few of those people, you'll get a better picture of what to expect from the outfitter.
