Hi Loodt
Welcome to the forum. This forum is supported by serious no nonsense hunters.
They definitely do not take to people who are dishonest.

I have just got of the Phone with Jaap Pienaar, head of the Eastern Cape Department of Environmental affairs wildlife crime.

You have been advertising now for a few years without a valid OUTFITTERS licence or PH licence. You have only now recently got a 3 month temporary Outfitters licence.

To date you still do not have a valid PH licence yet you are advertising that YOU will be the PH on this Safari.

I also know that Tootabi Valley Safaris owner Gerrit du Preez (Beans) has sent you a lawyers letter that you are in copyright violation of his registered company , registerd in 2009.
This letter you have ignored.

You were also sent a lawyers letter By Carl van Zyl of John X Safaris for copyright violation as you copied his website verbatim.

You are young and ambitious but in this trade you cannot step on the people around you to get ahead. I would send you a PM but you are hell bent on bucking the system.

stop advertising hunts, go do your PH, get your OWN name and start a legitimate business.

Thanks for posting this info. Everyone on the forum has to assume that the outfitters are advertising legally and it good faith. You see more of this happening and it's important that we call people on it as it pulls the excellent standards we have in the Eastern Cape down. Cheers

Everyone of us should bring to the open any shady character that is advertising hunts here.

We have far too many honest people making great offers to even entertain these sort of crooks.

Not directed at you Brickburn by any stretch, but I'm not so sure about that. You surely remember this Bushwhack fellow, the SA operator who screwed a dying would be client out of his deposit because he had to undergo cancer treatments instead of go hunting.....? He hauled azzz for the Africahunting forums and is/was welcomed with open arms. The would be client/hunter has since passed away (God rest his soul).

JG, Bushwack was already posting on AH long before that eventful date.
So your characterization is off.

You disagree with Bushwack's cancellation policy. Fair enough.
I don't like that type of cancellation policy any better than you do.

He was not dishonest.
You and I both disagree with his business practices.

Did Bushwack break the law? NO!

If he has done something illegal let me know. You know where to find me.

If you want to ask questions about his cancellation policy in the thread that would be relevant.
If you have a desire to rant, do it here on AR or get a therapist!

Brian, As the dastardly moderator over on AH doing that deleting I'll give this a go.

As a user everyone agrees to abide by a policy and code of conduct.
It is there for all to read.
If you don't follow your agreement you will have your post deleted.

You want to discuss someones offer that is posted please join and discuss it.

Saeed's policy is different on AR and we all abide by that policy here.

Have a good day.

Lots of new developments, he has now admitted he does not have any legal paperwork.

This now leaves him open to prosecution by the DEA. I have received a bunch of e-mails and phone calls from people who have dealt with him.
If anybody has received quotes or hunt offers via e-mail please forward those to me

Absolutely not!

A young fellow who got his cart in front of his horse due to over-exuberance? Yes. Crook? No way.

I just returned from 10 days with Loodt and his outfit. I and my wife were supremely happy with the entire affair, as have been the half-dozen or so clients who were with him previous to us.

My entire hunt report is posted on another site. I don't want to post a link as I believe that is against Saeed's rules...so please PM me if interested.

Truthfully, I think I would have more respect for a guy engaging in outright thievery than I do for Bushwhack. I am sure there are plenty of totally dishonest and thieving operators out there who would still, even in all their crooked glory, not take money from a dying man. I don't think I have ever seen anything more shameful than what Bushwhack pulled.

I have to disagree...at least in the case of Loodt at Tootabi. He got hammered over on the other site for his early mistakes. I think he also got hammered for some stuff that was not entirely justified. But when you open the door, sometimes the flood is not very descriminating.

He has made good on all his commitments and got all his ducks in a row and has had good success making clients happy. I think he has redeemed himself very well.

I do not know this Bushwack fellow so cannot speak to his situation.

I have purposely held off posting in this thread until after I had first-hand experience to speak from.
