Anyone hunted with EAI Outdoors?

I was wondering if anyone here has hunted with EAI Outdoors? If so, how was it?

Note - Please ignore my post about ESI outdoors. As Ed pointed out, I had the name wrong.

Dear Bearkat:

I can send you all the references that you like. Please send your email address to info@eaioutdoors.com and I will send over a bunch.

ED

Bearkat,

I leave in 58 days for EAI RSA two person package. My wife will go with me to ride along on my plains game hunt.

I checked several to a dozen references and I only had one that was in question and would be happy to share with you. Obliviously it did not worry me enough to change my mind. When I return on 16 October I will be happy to give you or any AH member any feedback you or they may want.

Best of luck,
Steve

Thank you for the reply Steve. I too would be taking my wife along as well.

I have booked a June 2012 safari to the Eastren Cape w/ EAI as well. This is the first trip to RSA for any of us going. So your feed back would be great Steve.
Thanks

I've never hunted with EAI but I've been emailing back and forth with Ed and He seems to be a up and up guy send him a message and address and he'll mail you a free dvd on the hunting area. Fearnot4me what days have you got booked to hunt in June I'm guessing you'l be Flying in to East London your only a couple of hours away from where I'll be hunting in Tarkastad.

Ed has always been very helpful for us throughout the process. and trust me I have bugged him w/ many of questions. We will be there, June 25-July 5. Yes we will fly into ELS.

Hi i am new to this forum woundering if any one has ever had to ask for a refund from ed at eai outdoors i have been trying to get a refund for about one year on eais website they say if you dont hunt with us we wont take your money. but that does not seem to be the case for me i would appreciate any feed back thanks Allen Hughes

Ed, can you answer this one? Both sides of the story are always handy.
Thanks

Welcome to AH okie! I have known and talked with Ed for a couple of years but have never hunted any of his outfits he is a member here at AH hope he will answer this thread.

Dear Brickburn:


Our records show that we did indeed send out the refund but to Allen's father as that was the mailing address we had on the file. They were both planning on coming together and booked together. That check was never cashed. Apprently his father had taken ill and that was the reason for not being able to hunt. Allen then called us about this and he informed us that his father had moved and had a different address. We then sent out a refund to the new address Allen gave us and it also has not been cashed. Not sure what is going on here.

That would be that other side I was asking about.
Thanks.
Hope you guys can straighten it out.

Dear Brickburn:

I am pleased to report this has been sorted out. I called Allen today and we decided that it was best to send a replacement again but this time Certified Mail with tracking numbers so we can always know what is going on.

ED

Way to go Ed knew you had the answer! Hope to see you in Dallas next year.
