Outstanding Leopard hunting package 14,900 USD

This hunts sounds tempting and would consider this hunt. Could someone please explain the bad reports here and on Hunting Reports which mention Wayne Jardine, Heath Jardine, Zim Africa and Luxury Hunts? Poaching is also mentioned??

Don't know the whole story with Wayne Jardine but what I have heard is that it had something to do with the Zim land grab for the lack of a better term the farm where Wayne was hunting was the family farm and the camps had been built by his Grandfather and his father had put in all the roads on the farm wayne I believe was still hunting it when the land was taken away so it was called poaching but this is what I've heard and don't know for a fact. I do know that Wyane in the past five years has pulled his socks up and kept his act straight. As far as Heath all I know is what I read on hear and that he made some guy miss on some shots or something. All I can really tell you except that Bruce and Greg from Huntershill Safaris take there kids there too hunt and have taken several Buffalo with Heath and Bruce swears he's the best Leopard man he knows.

hi bob can you just clear up something for me , i have probably misread it somewhere along the line, but in your original description you say you are putting the hunt on for a friend, but then you seem to say you dont know hardly anything about the ph conducting the hunt? is it my reading or the typing?

Hi Spike I have known Heath through Bruce and Greg for a couple of years But I myself have never hunted with him as My PH in fact I've never even been in Zim before though he invites me every year to come hunt we talk on line and when we see each other at Huntershill Safaris where I will be seeing him again in May. I concider him a friend even if he has not been my PH. I guess it would be like some of the friends I've made on here some I've met but Never hunted with any of you to the best of my knowledge but I still concider you friends. Hope this helps. Just as a note thats why I put his email insted of having you PM me I know very little about this area and Questions pertaining to the hunt should be directed to him. Thanks Bob

thanks bob i know where you are coming from, i think its how i read part of it.

No Problem Spike.

For those that might still be interested in this, here is a couple of references that Heath gave me a while back feel free to contact them if you like for someone who has a lot more hands on experience hunting with Heath. Frederick Mitchell 432 557 5319, Bill Burnaford. iamwildbill49@aol.com

Btw guys don't get the wrong idea I'm not selling this hunt I'm listing it for Heath as his Internet in Zim really sucks. He registered here with his Iphone as pioneer Safaris but can't seem to get anything to work for him. Like I said I am listing it for him and not selling there is no commission for me on this not one red cent. Thanks Bob
