SOUTH AFRICA: Hunt From Hell Update

[Cajun Hunter]

Hello to all AH Brothers and Sisters. I have recently seen on FB that Johan with ManLind Safaris is here in Louisiana and is booking hunts using FaceBook as a vehicle. He is also attending the Sportsman show in NewOrleans area. This is the same guy that sold me the Hunt from Hell. Beware!!

Good hunting to All and make sure of your outfitter!!

Had a rifle blow up first day in camp and it was down hill from there. Not sure myself on finding the origonal post as I am not very astute with technology. Was June of last year.

Thank you for the heads up, hope your shoulder is also fully mended. Certainly enjoyed our time together last Sept hunting with D&Y. When is this next hunt with D&Y booked for? Will you be back in the Omay or hunting in a different area?
