I won't embarrass the company concerned by naming them, but I've just had an e-mail from a couple of guys calling themselves agents who directed me to a real micky mouse home made website that has absolutely no African content whatsoever and then telling me they'd represent my company for 15% of everything they sold...... not just daily rates, but 15% of everything AND gave them a free trip. They would however be happy to pay for their own food. I had to check the date to see if it was April 1st. As it isn't, I guess I'm just REALLY lucky to be selected huh!  | ||

Steve - I guess they must be from SCI, since they wanted a "hunt donation"?? Probably for one of the "uppity up's to go on?? That's really funny. Larry Sellers

I've gotta tell you, it's helluva tempting!  Problem is, I'd then have to name all the other buggers who so very kindly ask us to donate a hunt for the newest dog's doo dahs TV show etc....... I'm sure it all sounds just toooo familiar to Walter and others in the industry!  We must get at least 1 a month of those bloody silly things........ most of 'em are nearly as good as our Nigerian friends! | |||

I used to hold a varmint hunitng lease on over 200,000 acres in North Texas. We hunted hogs and bobcats and coyotes and such no big deal. I've had a couple of these "video" producers approach me and basically demand an all expense paid hunt. I would be allowed a copy of the video of course at the conclusion of course. Gun writers, video producers and booking agents oh my! | |||

what is $ci?. ooooh, i get it- SCI!!! GIVE IT A REST. NOBODY KIDNAPS THE OUTFITTERS, DRAGS THEM TO RENO, FORCES THEM TO RENT A BOOTH, AND DONATE A HUNT. if they didn't think it pencilled out-cost versus booking revenue- they wouldn't be there. for God's sake, don't start another one of your SCI rants. your feelings about this issue are pretty well known by now and repetition gets boring.

I would rather we all feel free to post our opinions. I am sure that someone has read this thread that has not read one of Steve's anti SCI "rants" before. Let's keep it fair and balanced. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

if anyone has cruised this forum for at least a week, they have seen one of his anti-SCI posts. there is another one active here now( see SCI exhibitors list request below). he is certainly free to express his opinions here and anywhere else.

SCI brought all this mess on themselves, Steve did not. THEY are the one who claim of all the great things they do for African hunting. And when we asked what, we are lead on the merry go round. Back to the subject at hand. We have had a number of those Steves spoke about on this forum. They go on their first hunt, and come back as experts. They then try to get someone to book through them, and do the same thing SCI does - blackmail the PH to let them have a free hunt! One individual went as far as setting up his very own website. He even went hunting during the close season!? Yep, we do have some clowns in the hunting industry. May be they are taking their clues from what SCI does  | |||

yes, and just maybe they are just scam artists trying to make a fast buck or score a free hunting trip. despicable either way. Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

I guess the SCI auctioning the hunt to raise money for their obviously nefarious activities versus the booking agent demanding a free hunt for himself is lost on you. Hate blinds. | |||

Tell you what Steve.....I'll represent you for ONLY 10%, a free trip, you supply the food but I will bring my own bourbon.....wadda think?? ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

Kind of you to offer mate, but you'd have to make it Ardbeg malt I'm afraid.......... Although I understand you guys are making your own malt whisky called Sullivan's Cove now, so maybe we could give that a try! | |||
