SOUTH AFRICA: Leopard Valley Safaris aka Dave Davenport

[John Cannon]

Well now let me put in some info from a first hand witness. I was at SCI in 16 with another African outfitter with my wife. I was friends with Dave on Facebook and a good friend of mine Larry had already done a hunt or two with Dave. My buddies booth was a couple aisles over from Leopards Valleys booth. My wife and I went over to see Larry and meet Dave finally face to face. I hunted several times in the Eastern Cape around some of the same farms where Dave has taken clients also. Jared did not know me from Adams’s house cat at the time and couldn’t stop talking about the wonderful time he had with Leopards Valley. I didn’t say I had been in that area and hunted and let Jared tell us about his magnificent time. Not one time was anything mentioned about driving long distances and a up charge. Since this has transpired, Jared un friended me one Facebook when I was questioning his cousins fiancé. Yes it is a small world. He reached out on WhatsApp and tried to explain like he did in the beginning of this post. Long story short Dave and his wife Nikki are good honest people. In May of 18 I took my granddaughter, grandson, son, and wife and had a wonderful time as always. Leopards Valley is definitely a place to go for free range hunting!!!!

Thanks for your time

John

More love in my inbox from a completely unrelated EC Outfitter.

"Your MichaelH buddy from affordable african hunts also takes other outfitters adverts, photoshops them and then uses it to boost his own prices. He is bad news and already has a nasty reputation here in the Eastern Cape. He advertises for Greg Harvey of Huntershill.

Well that's low....

It's becoming harder and harder to believe that this thread isn't ALL about @Michaelh 's business .

Multiple sources to confirm any details.

You leave a trail on the internet, it is not truly anonymous.
Your IP address has a physical location.
I'll PM you some of your personal details that are simple to find on the net.

Thanks for the feedback.

This thread just seems to be completely out of place when one tries to put two and two together....more than 4 years great reviews etc...

I think Jared has a case of sour grapes...

Very bad to try and bash an outfitter who is legit...and trying to do it the way you have.

@Michaelh I have no idea why you started this thread the way you did, but it is quite clear that your morning and afternoon talks do not add up. From what has been posted I think you owe somebody a serious apology....

Wonder if Greg is aware of this gentleman's actions?

I'd be happy to chat to anyone about Dave.

Anytime Dave!! The truth needs too be set free.

Anytime Dave!! The truth needs too be set free.

Now that you made it on here John you should proceed to share your hunt reports. Preferably in another thread of your own initiation.

 

[BRICKBURN]

Anyone have Greg Harvey's personal email address or Whatsapp?

Post it here or PM me.

I would dearly like to ask him if this is the kind of person he wants representing Hunters Hill Safaris?

Very much want to see how Greg feels about this, as he may not be aware of this new thread let alone the questionable marketing practices as you posted above as well.

I don't know how to get in touch with Greg, but did send @Bobpuckett a message on FB as he works closely with Greg I believe .

Exactly. Bad business practice on display here.,

This almost seems like the work of a Troll. I’m having trouble connecting the comments being made with the prior photos and texts Dave has shared. Also, the writing style appears completely different. Can anyone reach out to this guy via a different media and check to see that his acct hasn’t been hacked?

Dave at LVS s trying to show everyone that the OP was very happy with his hunt back in 2014 and at times after that. Using cut and pasted stuff from various sources.
The OP shared with many people back then that he had a great hunt and in fact provided evidence that what he was saying now in this OP was far from the truth.
Via the internet’s wizard button @BRICKBURN has found evidence that the OP s actually a booking agent for another company and that he is being less than accurate with his facts.....like “driving four hours to hunt”......not according to the Google Earth images.
In short.....One might not want to buy a hunt through the guy or order any kitchen cabinets for that matter. Just an opinion mind you.

No it is not a from a Troll, and Jared was not hacked. I have text messages on WhatsApp from Jared yesterday.

Too much intimate knowledge of the hunt in question and people involved let alone the Sherlock work by Brick. The haste of it makes it sound more like retribution for an event that was more recent. Possibly losing business to Dave and wanted to supplant false and derogatory reviews.
