The saga is above, Theo continues to book hunts and has made zero remediations on a loss for $40,000US to a scam outfitter he booked me with as my agent.

I would sincerely appreciate the word being spread so nobody else is taken, and I'll be handing out pamphlets I'm having made at my US trade shows.

Theo needs to be out of business, I'm only one of many taken in this debacle, remuneration was promised many times and has never materialized. I've given him the benefit of the doubt for a long time now, however through his negligence my young family lost a huge sum that has derailed all African hunting plans.

Speak of the devil @PHOENIX PHIL..... LOL!!! Phil & I were just talking about him.
 
Interesting that Theo is still booking hunts!
 
Hate to hear that Angus.

What is the status of the outfitters trial?

Tell Theo you will take him on a bear hunt for free. :eek: What happens in the woods..........:D
 
To me he is liable for fraud.
 
I've been told he's a crook by one of my Outfitters.

Crazy!!! Can't believe he's still at it. Ardent hope you get some results.
 
To Theo Blignaut's credit, he just made the first payment of $1000. It's a drop in the bucket at 2.5% of the loss, but he says he'll be making regular instalments. If this proves to be true I'll report back.

Anton Bakker is in jail, thanks in large part to the efforts of a fellow Canadian also screwed in the debacle who spent an additional $20,000 travelling back and forth to RSA.

An incredible effort on our fellow citizens part.
Hope Bakker stays in jail for a good long time.
 
He is booking hunts on Facebook under Hunting Specials/Trophies......

Ardent, glad you are getting something out of Theo. Hope you continue to receive funds.

For everyone that thinks becoming an agent is easy work and a great way to save on hunts and make money.......

That's interesting news. I'll go have a look.

Sure enough, there it is.

Cease and desist is about to happen.

Funny how all of the outfitters that get banned from AH still like to leave the banner link up on their webpages...

Therack, thank you for pointing this out, I wrote to Theo at skinafrika.com to remove AH logo banner.
 
Thank you for providing this website as a place to find good deals and expose the crooks. Cheers

It gives potential hunters the opportunity to go to AH and make an informed decision about them????:D

Hello, My wife and I hunted with Marius 2 years ago. He fit us into his schedule after a different outfitter "bailed" on us. He was always very good with communications and although we didn't end up meeting him personally, he called us multiple times during our hunt to make sure things were going well. We were very happy with him.

Reach out to the guys at Epic Outdoors.

They will steer you right for landowner tags and outfitters that have them.

I have held a membership with them for years and they are an invaluable resource.

Way better that asking random people on the internet...WAY better

Skydiver386,

Did you ever find your 30-06 CZ550? I own a fairly solid conditioned one, if you wanted to talk.
