Wonderful! Ethiopia is a beautiful country. I flew into Addis Ababa one time. Wasn’t there very long, a couple hours each way, but did get to go outside the airport a little. I was shocked at how beautiful Ethiopia is, not what I had expected and everyone was super friendly.

Bucket list hunt!

Hello sir, I am in Amarillo but I service and deliver to the DfW area. I would be glad to help you.

Hey if you will pm me your phone # and a good time to call I’d be glad to visit with you. I have dealt with insurance companies on this before and I’d be glad to help.

I had just seen a post saying he had “died doing what he loved”. I don’t know.

I am very sad to see that Felix Marnewecke passed. I’m not sure what happened, anyone with any information please feel free to add information. I saw one post that alluded he may have been killed in the field but I DO NOT know this to be true and certainly don’t want to spread misinformation...

I have to 100% agree that Mark’s shop is awesome. I have been there myself and purchased things from them. R&M is a first class operation.

Ok bunch of miss information here. Birds, swine, monkeys, and ruminants are primarily what, when thinking of Southern Africa, they are looking for. Depend on areas they could require certain antelopes. That includes all pieces and parts there of. Also if any of the above are crated with other...

I’d be glad to help if I can. We offer a variety of sheep and goat species.

The nice thing in taxidermy is you are only limited by your imagination. I usually just paint the filler so it blends in and isn’t noticeable but…. I’ve called them in leather, you could have a silver smith cap them, there is all kinds of things you can do. Just keep in mind with anything...

Also if the tusks are older you may see that the bottoms are hollow unlike the ivory tops. It’s very common for these to crack and or completely split (NA feral pigs and Eurasian boar are the same way on both tops and bottoms). If this happens don’t worry you can superglue them back together. I...

Anytime buddy. Taxidermy has very few secrets and most things are a common simple fix. Believe it or not YouTube is a great reference and I look for better or more efficient ways to do stuff all the time. I am always glad to answer questions on anything anytime. You’ll find a heck of a lot of...

Regarding air travel. I flew DFW to London to Bucharest. It was mixed airlines. American screwed us and we lost an entire day due to cancellation at Amarillo IA but once to DFW it went smooth. Romania is an amazing country and I very much loved being there. I really want to come back for...

I tend to shoot and use my big bores quite a bit here at home. Aside from general fun shooting I use mine as backups on bison and Waterbuffalo hunts on my place. I’ve killed several things over the years with mine and though unnecessarily over gunned, I occasionally hunt deer and pigs with mine...

For me it’s a moot point. I’m curbed stateside for a while until I get at least 1 kid out of college, but one day. The adventure for me is worth the risk.

A highly guarded industry secret. Hot glue :eek: I do that so if he ever wants to mount the warthog, cast an extra set of tusks, get scrimshaw done in them, etc…. They can be removed and there is no damage to them.

Wonderful! Thank you

It’s a current hunt report from Chad

I had no idea Chad was open. What an adventure that would be. https://www.facebook.com/share/3HueLdvFHgtHwPUn/

I'm up in Amarillo but have several clients in the Houston area. I can help you with the import as well as I work with several of the top import brokers.

OMG what a rifle! I need another 06 like I need a hole in my head. I'm in the middle of having a rifle built right now or I'd buy this. Outstanding rifle, someone is going to get a hellava gun!!!!!:K Love Eyes:

I would love to help you if I can.

Mike have the Eland and zebra recovered? Sable, puku, bushbuck, zebra, reedbuck, eland, and the duikers would make a heckava trip too!

I’m sorry to hear about yalls health issues. Prayers for a speedy recovery. While you are loading 9.3x74 I need some loaded also, I like Barnes 286gr TSX’s. :LOL:

It’s funny you mention that. I was just talking with a friend of mine the other day about this same thing but with relation to WWII. My grandfather was a WWII veteran and my hero growing up. He was born in 1921 and all through my childhood up through my teenage years he would show me his wartime...

What’s the coolest part of loading 16 gauge black powder shotshells with 100+ year old hand loading tools? Getting to go shoot 100+ year old Damascus Shotguns of course!!! Stay tuned, not sure when I’m going to get to go shoot but I’m super excited.

Man I’m just glad you are ok. Mistakes happen and inevitably will. The main thing is you weren’t hurt. We had an ex swat commander that became our range master several years ago shoot himself in the hand taking the slide off a Glock. Scary deal and thank God he was ok. His pride was hurt more...

I am very familiar with these. I've wanted this exact rifle for years. I personally know the IFG guys as they sponsored my son when he was shooting competitively. Their warehouse is only a few miles down the road from my house. I've shot a ton of these and I can say without hesitation that they...

Oh this is killing me. I love these rifles. If I wasn't already neck deep in a rifle build and shotgun restoration I'd be all over this. CZ 550's are my weakness. I need another 06 like I need another hole in my head but man these are amazing guns.

OOOOOOH, my dream hunt right here

I have both. CZ all the way.

One of the biggest things I see is that, as been mentioned before, you’re essentially paying for some features that you don’t really need. Let me preface this with I am certainly no African hunting expert and there are guys here that have spent more time in an African toilet than I have on the...

More than likely you are fine. There might be stuff possibly move around on you or minor cracking or separations but I doubt you did any really damage. All of that is easily fixed. Hell with some pieces I take them out and shampoo them with a taxidermy detergent after mounting them and they’ve...

Thank y’all so very much. We had an amazing time with y’all and very much look forward to seeing everyone again.

Will do. I sent him a message on what he wants for it and to get some pics. He just moved so it may take a few days for him to get it unpacked to get pics. I’ll pm you his phone number.

I have a friend with a very nice 9.3x74r double for sale. Its a Sabatti, I personally confirmed regulation on it and it is extremely accurate. Regulated with 286 gr hornady bullets

I load 250 for plains game and 300's for larger game. I also am a huge Barnes fan using ttsx in all mid bore and down and tsx's for all big bore and heavy loads for large animals. I have had fantastic results with IMR4350 in the 375 and 9.3 calibers . I have gotten to where I exclusively use...

Nosir, not at this time. We are expanding our herd a bit so we aren’t removing does at the moment.

We are fenced but we do offer outstanding fair chase axis hunting with first class facilities in a very historic and unique part of Texas. We also have many AH’rs that hunt with us and would be glad to offer references.

Wow, how awesome is that!!! I’ve often thought about a hippo on land. Sounds like a super fun hunt and congrats!!! What an accomplishment!

That sir is one hellava offer. If it was in the cards for me I'd book this in an instant, unfortunately I don't see being able to squeeze this in until my kids get out of college.

What size croc can one expect?

Well I should have taken a pic but I didn’t. I can assure you hit nuts are the appropriate shade or blue.

Thank y’all very much. He was a lot of work but well worth it.

So this poor monkey was in rough shape when we got him. A bit of sweat equity later and…. Viola

I want to come just to get Nyassa wildebeest!

if you will give me a shout I can help you.

Hello, we would love to help you. I build all of our bases in house, we do both wood and metal fab bases as well as combinations of both. I have built many bases for fellow AH'rs. Please feel free to reach out.
