Here's the conversation and me calling another PH for help as my girlfriend was crying and panicking in the room after they verbally assaulted me and my character, and when Jac's brother came at me and Jac grabbed him.
Similar experience to mine. Yes Limpopo, other areas in SA and multiple times in Zim. All have been challenging hunts just different. The difference in no way reduced my absolute pleasure of each hunt and experience!I posted on the other thread and I'll post here one more time.
When I read about this incident I was in Limpopo and hanging out with the PHASA PH of the year.
I directed him into the thread and he immediately alerted PHASA president who at the time was in Zambia(he might still be there hence the short post)
PHASA is a reputable organization in South Africa and they are also supported by SCI in various ways.
They are all aware of the damage these kind of incidents cause and I'm sure they'll remedy the situation and will come up with a more detailed explanation.
As far as hunting Limpopo, as someone who has been there many times I can flat out tell you that there are properties there where hunting as challenging as it can be anywhere in Africa.
The property I'm on right now is fenced on three sides but one side is open to the Limpopo river and we have leopards, kudu, bushbuck and even elephants coming trough from Botswana and it's as wild as it gets.
And yes I also hunted in Zim couple times and I can compare.
Yesterday morning we found a fresh leopard kill and animals are a skittish as it gets.
I'm not here to defend anyone but making blanket statements about Limpopo or South Africa in general are wrong.
Yeah, it would be good if they would make some introductions and provide some pics and additional details to support their reportsI find it strange there three positive reviews of the outfitter on the thread and its three new members with their first post. Seems fishy to me
Then tell this humble, honest, and accountablei have hunted with koringkoppie twice now, in 2021 and this year 2024. i have another trip booked for 2025 and i come from florida in the USA to hunt with them! i read most of this post and find it really hard to believe!!! i have never had Jacques tell me any of the things this gentleman claims,sounds like sour grapes to me! now i do bring my own precision rifles to hunt with and my own ammo and i feel it's my responsibility to carry the ammo needed,just my humble opinion! i find Jacques to be very honest and accountable,very accomodating,forgive my spelling. i also find them to be very honest and trust worthy!!! i booked and paid for a trip in 2020 and it got postponed for a year or so due to covid and Jacques honored the contract at no additional fee in 2021,can totally trust the man! i didn't get my zebra in 2021,my fault and didn't have to repay trophy fee for it in 2024. in 2024 i got all my trophys including my zebra. his wife does all my taxidermy work and does a wonderful job and they do all the salting of the hides,so i don't know what this guy is talking about??? i have always had a great time there and everybody has always been so friendly! i don't understand what this guy is talking about at all.none of what he says makes any sense to me at all!!!
