AG issues cease-and-desist order to Tecumseh-based hunting and outdoors company

Updated Jan 25, 2021; Posted Jan 25, 2021

TECUMSEH, MI – A Tecumseh-based hunting and outdoors company is under investigation amid claims of violating the Michigan Consumers Protection Act.

The Michigan Attorney General’s Office announced Monday, Jan. 25, it issued a cease-and-desist letter to Team Fitzgerald Marketing which is owned and operated by father-son duo, Dan and Guy Fitzgerald, after receiving a high volume of complaints about the company.


The letter was sent to the business after the AG’s Office and the Better Business Bureau received more than 70 complaints in the past year claiming the business failed to deliver purchased good, provide guided hunts as advertised, satisfy contractual obligations and properly address consumer requests for refunds.

Team Fitzgerald sells hunting equipment and goods, along with offering guided hunting trips. The Fitzgeralds are also known for their television program, “Team Fitzgerald Vintage Country Lifestyle,” according to the Attorney General’s Office.

Several of the complaints allege the company failed to follow through with sales on the business’s website and dodged requests for refunds and complaints, often blocking email addresses, phone numbers and social media accounts of customers.

In one instance a complaining customer was allegedly threatened with legal action for contacting the AGs office, the letter states.


“The Michigan Consumer Protection Act provides this office with the tools and authority to pursue reimbursements and other corrective action on behalf of consumers who have been taken advantage of, including legal action if necessary,” Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said. “Numerous complaints have been made about this company and its failure to deliver on costly hunting-related trips and products sold to consumers and businesses, and my office will aggressively seek justice as we determine the full extent of any wrongdoing.”

The business may choose to enter into an assurance of voluntary compliance with the state which is a tool provided for in the act that allows consumer protection disputes to be settled outside of court.

They used to have a tag show on Outdoors Channel or one of the other.

Did a lot of pig hunting.

While the Fitzgeralds are sketchy as hell, consider the Michigan AG is a Marxist anti-hunting lesbian.
