On my recent trip to south africa i saw the very same happening , large profitable citrus farms / dairy etc given to BEE ( black economic empowerment ) folks and within the first year they filed bankruptcy. In many other cases the land the BBE so badly wanted has been re-sold back to white...

Hello. I just ran through a few SA and namibian sites to see the prices and i must agree with Norfolk that namibia is more expensive if you look at their trophy lists. I believe the difference is mainly to do with the big bang when the safari hunting was in full swing SA started with many more...

Hi James, I might be interested ! What is the PH and outfitter licence numbers ? PH/outfitter name surname ? Companies name ? Where is the accommodation located , any website or pics ? Sorry so many questions but i think these are standard rules on AH hunting offer posts :-)...

Hello, Just give Pigslayer a chance , there have been countless similar threads before where hunters try to speak out on "bad hunts or whatever the case is here " , an we should all just read and listen rather than joke around lets wait for the response from andrew mclaren safaris and see...

Hello, What i wrote said " he would work as a middleman " , so the hunters invitation and guns and the trophy export would be done by the legal PH/outfitter that he would be using which i did mention in my post. regards Mike Jones Holland

Hi all, Must agree with BillC on the $$$$ part. As i understand this thread , Loodt doesn't take the clients out hunting so that's all legal. He could have worked as the middleman and send his clients out with qualified PH's and grow his name from there. Once he has his PH and...

hi, Im no expert , im from Europe but i would put it this way if a leopard is on the hunt and would see some small child walking alone i guess he will take chance for a meal. Also if anyone is very unlucky to be under a tree or a walk way where a leopard hunting is waiting to pounce then i...

Probably everyones prefrence to wear ear plugs or not depends how soon deaf you want to become... Same goes for the muzzle break..... About the unarmed woman i bet they new before the time there was going to be a river between them and the buff and even if they didnt know it , i have seen...

Hi from Holland , interesting thread. I read the opening message and i have a question. I have seen many booking agents on here and millions on the internet that represent hunting safaris in africa , does this mean they all are doing it illegally too ? If yes i would say its silly because...

What really makes me mad is these people know very well these are WILD ANIMALS and when the animals attack them the poor animals get put down ! Humans are seriously stupid sometimes... See these videos below all in the Kruger Park , the poor ele bull was irritated by the people in that car and...

Sorry to hear about it. Tap its once in a life time hunt, so many people would love to have such an opportunity. Im telling you just do the hunt you need the time off and you will be sorry if you cancel it. cheers mike jones

Good length .... im not surprised seeing this , i guess in the States you can shoot most of the South African plains game by now :-) Same goes in South Africa over there you can even shoot American Bison !!! :-) This poor gemsbok has some nasty mange needs some good shampoo ! regards...

well put Spike ! I too agree with you and nothing is for free even if they give free hunts or large discounts that looks good to us as the hunters , we still don't really know what game prices go for at the auctions vs the dollar price they sell it for on a hunt or even the "SA prices " for...

As a hunter if i mentioned on " joe soaps " thread that i was interested in his offer and then later " jack sparrow" PM's me that he can give me the same offer for cheaper/better deal !! Bring it on jack sparrow !!! Its my cash i do the research i take the risk either way. This is how...

Yes i agree with Jerome a line must be drawn somewhere.. In my case i was looking for a hunt so when i was sent the PM it was an interesting offer and better deal so i took it and all went well. I agree that, if i was not looking for any hunts and i get 10 PM's about hunts then this is not...
