I guess the thread was coming apart at the seams?

Rick:
<br>
<br>Most unfortunate that her offer was deleted. She is getting some action on two other forums so there is some interest elsewhere if not here. *( And she received a gracious welcome on those forums ). I understand that she has now booked about 14 clients and she is past "breakeven". Many are hunters who have already hunted Africa 5 or 6 times.
<br>
<br>Bargains do not come frequently and "he who hesitates is lost". It won't come again. When it is gone, it is gone. The prices are very, very competitive and the animals will all be shot by "foreigners" or local South Africans. Understood that many simply cannot afford even these prices but at least the offer was made to "Americans" as well as others.
<br>
<br>Here is her Email and website if anyone wants to take a "look see" at this part of the world.

William, it's not exactly what it seemed, get some references of past hunters from her and see for yourself. The few guys who have done the research found this out from what I was told.

I think all Forum Members, me included, are now very curious to know what have been discovered on me, or on my offer of a "no frills African Safari" (I never used the word "cheap").
<br>
<br>I also think it is reasonable for me to ask those guys that "have done the research" to come forward with their names and share their findings with all of us.
<br>
<br>Regards to you all

Beware of deals "too good to be true"...
<br>because they usually are... I have learned this the hard
<br>way a few times myself...

Thanks for defining my offer "too good to be true". It is interesting to note that the most of the people that have booked so far have been already hunting in South Africa a few times. All what their where interested was the name of the outfitter. Having checked his credential they booked the hunt. Nothing magic about my prices, due to a good Hunting Ranch turning to agricolture in a few month time. Daily and trophy fees will be raised as soon my commitment is covered.

Andrea:
<br>
<br>I regret seeing the negativism in the posts above.
<br>
<br>I hope all is going well with your bookings.

Well - I guess the proof is in the pudding, isn't it?

William, you must understand that a trip to Africa is a big investment for most of us. It is not something that we book lightly. a lot of people from this board have hunted with JJHack so when I do get to make a trip the booking will be with JJHack not someone that we don't know anything about. I have nothing against Andrea and wish him well in his hunt bookings, but you must understand our concerns. tom

I'm wondering how long it is going to be before Andrea gets tired of being called "her" and "she"? I wonder what insults sound like in French?

Sheister:
<br>
<br>I don't understand your post, as far as I can tell Andrea's ancestory is Italian and she is a female. What would you want her to be called? BTW the masculine name Andrew, in French, is Andre, with an accent on the "e".

On a couple other boards, it was inferred that Andrea is a guy? Did I misunderstand? Wouldn't be the first time. - Sheister

He is a he. Andrea Bio: Italian born, former Special Forces Officer, South African resident since 1976. Wildlife safaris tour operator and hunting enthusiast. Occasionally acting as a broker for outfitters of the area.

Sheister:
<br>
<br>Ooops, sorry, I assumed, apparently like several others, that because of what has been said on this board and others and because the name ended in an "a" that he was a she. My apologies and I stand corrected. However, I still believe his ancestry to be Italian, I hope........

Bobcat,
<br>
<br>Sounds like a lot of people missjudged the guy and it sounds like there may of been some jealousy on the part of some, which doesn't really supprise me.
<br>
<br>The failed attempt of one person trying to discredit Andrea has backfired but that person has things blow up in his face often, so he should be used to it. Its to bad so many people believe all his B.S..

Don,
<br>
<br> In referring to "so many people believe his BS", you must be referring to all the people who have hunted with him. Funny, I haven't heard any complaints from any of them and many of them are talking about what a great time they had on their latest hunts with him on several different boards. That number keeps growing ( I believe over 3 dozen now) and I still haven't heard a single complaint. Wonder why that is?
<br>
<br>Funny anyone listens to your BS anymore. Oh, that's right, you're right and everyone else is wrong- now where have I heard that before?
