I had the privilege of being at Bruce and Cari's wedding and can tell everyone for a fact of what a great guy he is. I went with Bruce on a hunt with Marius and KMG in 2012 and had the time of my life. My wife is going to be going with me on my next hunt with KMG and Bruce and Cari are going to...
I was the initial poster and I can state without a doubt, that KMG Safari's is a first class outfit and is totally blameless in any problem that has arisen with Wild Africa. Marius and Kim have been wonderful in trying to sort this out. Wild Africa on the other hand, has been totally useless. I...
Andy,
Those are the only pictures I have at the moment. I sent an email to Wild Africa and am waiting on a response. This is not even close to the work that they had on display in the shop, that is why I am so disappointed.
Walkingprey2,
That is pretty much what my hunting partner Bruce and I have decided on doing. Just having them dipped and packed and shipped back home to have the work done here. There are several taxidermists within 2hrs of my home that do great work on African animals.
I just got an email from KMG and they are going to look into this for me. As I stated earlier, my time with
KMG Safari's was absolutely wonderful!!! Marius and his crew are very hard working and a true joy to hunt with.
The memories I have in pictures and on video make this disappointment a lot...
We have pretty much decided that that is exactly what we are going to do IF we go back. We absolutely loved hunting with Marius and KMG, we felt like family when we left and we do want to hunt with him again, but this was a bitter pill to swallow. You are right, there is not much if anything we...
I would NEVER use Wild Africa Taxidermy again, Their work is below average and I was truly disappointed with my trophies. It looks as if a 6 year old did the stitching on my shoulder mount Springbok, pictures to be posted tomorrow
After enjoying a wonderful hunt with Marius Goosen and KMG Safari's in 2012, my hunting partner Bruce and I FINALLY got our trophies back today! YES TODAY!!!! Almost 20 months later. After unloading the crate at
Bruce's house, I brought my trophies home to take the final wrapping off in...
A hunt with Marius is a GREAT HUNT!!!! My hunting partner Bruce and I hunted with him in Sept 2012. Louw was my PH also, and boy can he go up the mountains. We are already planning our next hunt in 2014. My wife is also planning on going over because of that luxurious lodge :barmy:
My 1st...
Bob,
I agree 100%. I have supported several companys that boycotted the show already. I make sure they know why they are getting my business now
and will in the future.
Not only did vendors lose money, so did the City of Harrisburg! They lost the revenu from all those vendors and attendees! Reed Exhibitions SUCK!!!!!!!
I would think that since they have "Postponed the show" they would have to give full refunds of all monies paid. I do know there is a lawyer looking into a lawsuit
against the promoter. Where that goes is anyones guess. It is going to cost over 2 million dollars in refunds.
I have talked to...
Some very good suggestions have been made. As a customer, I look for open friendly folks that answer questions and ask questions of you. The booth that has information available and displayed goes a long way. And as always, an attractive female that knows the business really helps ;) and no, it...
Reed has taken so much heat and lost so many sponsors that they finally took notice
Home - Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show
Reed Exhibitions has decided to postpone, for now, the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show given the controversy surrounding its decision to limit the sale or display of...
Another vote for the Pelican 1750, that is what I used in Sept 2012. I cut the foam to fit the 1 rifle I was taking, a spot for the bolt and my bino's. The case took a beating but my rifle and scope were fine. I would not hesitate to use a 1750 case.
35, Thanks for the welcome! I hunted with Marius and was astounded by the amount of game we saw each day. He and Loew (my PH) had eyes like eagles, they saw stuff from unbelievable distances, but they talked me onto the animal pretty well. I just hunted plains game for this first hunt, Impala...
Yes, it really does suck for the vendors that rely on this for their livelyhood. I do believe that gun owners here in the US are finally fed up with
the assault by the government on our right to bear arms. This boycott has taken on a life of its own and is getting bigger by the day.
I live 25 miles form Harrisburg PA where the Eastern Sports and Outdoor show is held. As of today, Progressive Insurance is the only major sponsor left and more that 250 vendors have pulled out along with a large group of guest speakers. Reed Exhibitions has stopped selling tickets online and...
I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Frank Ray. I made my first trip to Africa in Sept 2012 and I hunted with Marius Goosen of
KMG Safaris and had a wonderful time. I cannot thank Marius and his staff enough for the wonderful trip that I had. This was my first trip, but definately not...
