Unless you paid a fortune, that's probably true in terms of attorney's fees. OTOH, you could try taking the minority owner your contract is with to small claims court for the remainder of the prepaid amount. Before you file, though, make sure you can document several attempts to contact the guy, and all other contacts related to the situation (the other hunters, other owners, etc.) to show that you have attempted to find a resolution to the issue before filing, and give him at least a month to respond after receipt of a certified letter. I'm not sure what you do if you can't track down the problem owner, but if you can't find out from one of the lawyers here, the JP court clerk can probably tell you.

If nothing else, any judgment against the guy works in favor of the others who stand to lose more.

Do you know any of the other hunters on the lease? You might get lucky and find out one happens to be a lawyer who's also still paid up and unaware of the issue, or at least find someone to split the cost of a lawyer with.

Document every little thing to death, then document the time of death and do an autopsy on video.
