The guy is a special kind of stupid. He also shows exactly how client driven the African hunting business is. If you can wire money someone will hunt with you even if you are a special kind of stupid client. Must have finally crossed some line to have his outfitter come out on AR and call him a liar and say he is not welcomed as a client. As long as he can wire the money some other service provider will be ready to take him on. Mike | |||

George: The method(s) you use to attack folks here are really in poor taste. You do go up and down and many here (including myself) wonder if you indeed do miss meds at times. I mean you posted I was the garbage collector when I showed some of my fine English double rifles. In education we have said for decades that negative attention is better than no attention when looking at behavior of troublsome kids. The expression seems to fit here. Lighten up, mate, we are all in this together: you, me, all here on this thread, Saeed and Mark Sullivan too. We are fighting a losing battle with the world. We only have each other. Come to the double shoot May 5 in Alaska. I'll buy you dinner.

It seems that we have the usual harassers showing up.Posters who have no interest in the topic being discussed but stalk and show up just to harass. | |||

George, There has been no "discussion" until you arrived with you inability to comprehend what the Freelance model of professional hunting is. It has been accurately described by others and me in this post. Mr. Tabor does indeed have his own company as this will allow certain tax advantages such as write offs for payroll and cruiser etc. Certainly you can grasp that? I posted for two reasons. First that the Freelance model works great for me personally. Second and probably most importantly that Rich Tabor was outstanding as a professional hunter, companion and I consider him a friend. My question to you is simply this. Since Rich is one of the few PH's in Africa that will still tolerate you as a client, why would you choose to come on this thread and attempt to piss on it and others who have come to his defense? Do you really think Rich would care for this? Jeff | |||

Coming from someone in the medical profession who first came on this site behaving like an animal. Perhaps the ideal client you envision in your little fantasy is one whose PH's can take advantage of and treat with disrespect, in that case I am not one of those.BTW did Richard make you his spokesperson?If he did I don't think it was wise of him. | |||

Not really. Every fu@king idiot who owns a gun or is an ar member or has hunted Africa is not my buddy/brother/comrade. The average hunter/ar member/African hunter maybe - but not everyone who participates in an discretionary economic activity. Setting any bar at Shootaway puts one down a path or irrationality, stupidity and lying. Not desirable or good character traits. Mike | |||

Hi All. I have never been one to post here, regardless of what has been said about me. Not working in a dedicated way for any specific safari operator implies "freelance", to be clear, "a freelancer or freelance worker is a person who pursues a profession without a commitment to any one employer"(thank you Google). Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it, if you don't like me...oh well. I feel no need to defend who I am and what I do to anyone, including George. I am a Professional Hunter, period, whether it be for myself or under the banner of a safari operator, and I hope I have always conducted myself professionally and require no further question on my "label". Regards to you all | |||

Rich, We have a few "challenged" posters on AR. You are most welcome here and we would be most appreciative if you would drop in from time to time. I have hunted with Thierry Labat and others who are "free lance" PH's. In reality, most PH's are free lance as they work at the discretion of the operator and the hunter. I do not understand what this issue is. I like to hunt with whoever has a great area and knows how to hunt! You are well respected on AR regardless of what our Canadian wing nut thinks or writes. | |||

Jeff started this to help promote Rich as Jeff has had several successful hunts with Rich. If I recall correctly, George had a good hunt with Rich as well. No controversy that I recall. George was quite happy. The dust up boggles my mind. | |||

Rich is the best. I sincerely hope that George doesn't do or say anything to detract from that or he may find out that he has opened Pandora's Box. "Never, ever, book a hunt with Jeri Booth or Detail Company Adventures" | |||

This thread has taken a strange twist even for AR standards. It seems shootaway is simply arguing semantics so he can further his abuse... | |||

On the bright side nothing Shootaway says will do any damage to anyone's reputation but his own among those who have read a dozen of his Posts. I have never seen a negative comment about Rich Tabor made by anyone with credibility on AR. I too hope Mr. Tabor will drop in when time allows or to contribute. One of the great things about AR is the access it gives to actual experts in a variety of disciplines. As with any nice place you do have to be watchful where you step or you might get shoot on your boots... "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

Rich is above reproach. His reputation speaks for him. He is solid and competent as they come. Someone here needs to have his medications adjusted. | |||

This and the other thread where Shootaway goes off, is beyond bizarre. Now he is asking for a poll? Just remember he is the one who wore a snowmobile helmet while sighting in a rifle and felt that only the front ring scope mount need be attached for proper groups! I don't ever recall a PH coming on to AR and publicly saying he would never hunt with a repeat client again. IIRC, it happened to Shootaway. That says something. | |||

. Rich, Welcome to AR .... What an intro splash and great first post with a superb build up ! Only heard good things about you. Hopefully first of many posts ! Cal, are you buying dinner for everyone at the shoot or is it just for George ? Is this like a one on one thing or an open event ? You could sell tickets Cheers .

Rich, We have only heard good things about you, and as you are new to a net forum, may be a word of advice is in order. AR is a like a small village, and as every village has its idiot, we seem to have few here too. To balance that, we also have an incredible number of very experienced hunters, who might enjoy interacting with. | |||

Saeed, I can vouch for Rich, he is the real deal. I had the pleasure to hunt with Rich a couple of years ago, we had some fantastic experiences that I still have a great time regaling others with and would do it again but for business and family commitments at the moment. Cheers Stu | |||
