I don’t think the PH should continue highlighting a controversial decision. He’s actively painting himself in a certain light. It appears achieving personal goals with the client’s money.
My welcome wasn’t to get more comments on this thread. I had nothing to do with encouraging @AndyMac to sign-up as a member.
I have to ask where does deleting all posts that aren’t in full agreement and blocking hunters fall in your characterization of gross and negligent misrepresentation? I’m not sure who he is pandering to with the Instagram posts, but controlling the narrative seems especially important. I don’t know his motivation to continue highlighting the decision. It seems to be serving his own ego, beyond that I can only guess. I had nothing but a high opinion of him before this incident, but this particular incident borders on fraud to me. I hope there are lions on the reserve he actually would have hunted and wasn’t selling a ghost hunt, but it seems more clear he has conflicting priorities.
There are a select few that have more experience than many PHs. If you look at who they film for, who they’ve hunted with, the situations they’ve been in they have a much more broad experience than many PHs. I haven’t met Andy or his brother either, but the reviews I’ve heard from top PH’s should earn something more than a dismissive response of “you’re not licensed doesn’t matter.” Hopefully there was more than that.
Please explain jswitzer how collaring a male lion, in a HUNTING area that was on its own and met all the legal requirements to be taken as a trophy helps defend the question of this being a shady practice? Also, i cannot see the instagram post you have attached because Morgan Potter blocked me after i tried to have a conversation with him after he posted a picture i disagreed with. You compare me with an ESPN camera man and pretty much accuse me of telling the "head coach" what to do. That is not the case. I never tried to tell anyone what to do. With 20 years of accompanying many of the worlds best Professional hunters in most countries you are able to persue lions, and being a hunter myself with a family history of over 50 years of big game hunting experience, i have never experienced a hunt like the one in question, and simply want people to hear another side of the story where my comments, observations and thoughts will not be deleted when i have questions of my own.
In your opinion was the lion that was collared and the lion on bait indeed the same lion? What about the lion he posted following the female. If they are the same lion could you tell us how you came to that conclusion? If they are different lions, in your opinion, could you tell us how you came to that conclusion as well?
I cannot see enough of the lion that was collared to make a 100 percent accurate call on whether it is the same lion... but the massive scar on the back right leg of the lion following the female( the post i was blocked and my comments deleted) is in my honest opinion NOT the same lion we had on bait and was turned down. The time that had past between the hunt and that photo with the female was way to short for a scar that size to have healed for those who might say it happened after the hunt. Im sorry but i will forever have a hard time believing a word that Morgan Potter says after he deleted my posts and then denied doing so.
What???
