    Barnes TSX reviews/question

    Myself and my two sons went to South Africa a few years ago. We all shoot 7MM's. It was recommended by our PH to use Barnes Triple shock in 160 Grain. We ended up taking 21 animals. We all had similar wish lists including Zebra, Black and Blue Wildebeest, Kudu, Waterbuck, Springbok, Warthogs...

    Advise needed - Fallow Deer in South Africa

    If the velvet is still intact and in good shape I would leave it on. The taxidermist will treat it so it wont deteriorate. If it is already coming off I would have the taxidermist strip it all off. Just my preferences. I have a mule deer mounted in the velvet. It's 10 years old and still looks...

    If you can hunt them about 3 weeks after they loose their velvet the horns have gotten as big as they are going to get. They will have nice sharp points. Later in the year they become rounded and may have some broken tines. Mine ( see avatar ) loose their velvet in mid August. They loose their...

    Zebra rug - getting it done in Africa or at home?

    I had mine done at Black Bear Taxidermy in Kimberley South Africa. It was done with backing and it looks great. Total cost $350.00. But it was done in 2012. It is 12' long from tip of its nose to tip of its tail. Hope that helps.

    Broker/Clearing Agent Suggestions

    jeffpg The communication was terrible. My shipment sat there for an extra three days because the agent I was dealing with took a Friday off and did not have anyone take care of his customers. Then they charged me for the extra days in storage. Hagar
