HUNTROMANIA

RANCE SAFARIS

I was told one cannot take a suppressor out of the USA. Homeland Security told me it would be confiscated. How depressing. I am having one built in South African and leave it there till I return, hopefully. It costs me $200. I love hunting with my suppressor. I forgot how much my .300 WinMag...

"LIAM URRY SAFARIS"

I just went to Dept of Homeland Security U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Atlanta Georgia yesterday. I need to get my Form 4457 signed so I can bring back my rifle to the US. I listed my rifle and my suppressor. Well I found out I cannot take a suppressor out of the country, they said it...

I had the Cape Buffalo scored. It scored 106 2/8 and made Silver in the SCI recordbook

This is how I had my giraffe mounted.

WINTERSHOEK SAFARIS

I just got my trophies back from Africa. My measurements for the buffalo using SCI guidelines is 103". I think the minimum is 101". I hope I can get it scored.

I shot my buffalo right on the dot on the picture above in his chest. He turned and walked off going about 15 yards or so and fell to the ground never to get up.

I had thought my PH told me over there that it may go 40 but I wrote my Taxidermist this is his reply, "Buffalo left horn boss is 13 inc right horn is 13 and a half inc and spread is 36 inc". I assume he is correct but everything I thought I knew about measurements are out the window. I will be...

These two bullets were recovered from my Cape Buffalo. They are North Fork .375-350 SS.

The Blue Wildebeest eluded me for days but my PH spotted this one with a group of Zebras.

I had wanted a Gemsbuck long before planning a safari to Africa. I thought heavily about hunting them in New Mexico. How much better to hunt this beautiful animal in their native land in Africa.

I live in Bonaire.

And the Cape Buffalo I harvested was 10-to 11 years old.

I think there are a lot of opinions on hunting in fenced and unfenced farms. Many and maybe most may be fenced, I’ve read they all may be fenced one day. So do you hunt a fenced Cape Buffalo? Before my Buffalo hunt I didn’t even ask. An unfenced Buffalo hunt will cost you more money, you’ll...

The only shot using the solid was my shoulder shot on the hippo. My PH asked I only use softs after that. I am having a rug made out of the giraffe and a short neck head mount.

After the hippo got to shorter grass I saw the leg move and it showed me the flex in his shoulder and that is where I placed my bullet. I couldn't answer about the 300 gr bullets. I read how these heavier 350 gr bullets are more effective. It would be imperative to do your homework on...

I purchased the Perfect Shot 2 book and studied all the shot placement photos of the animals that were on my list. Interesting, it did not show a giraffe pic straight on. If you watched the video the giraffe was facing me. I still shot it in the heart.

I had very good email communication with Paul Smith at Relive. He sent me prices and I decided what kind of mounts I wanted and which way I wanted the heads turned. He always answered my emails in a timely manner. I checked mounting prices in the states and they were much more than double what...

My first Trophy's were done by Relive Africa Taxidermy (South Africa). https://www.facebook.com/Relive-Africa-Taxidermy-South-Africa-180274468653002/ The buffalo safari is being done by Hunting Mafuta's Safaris http://huntingmafutas.co.za/our-taxidermy/ I am amazed by how many Safari...

I sent my taxidermist in SA a message and asked him to measure it, I'll let you know what he says.

The camera zoomed in on the hippo so I was watching it from 150 yds away. My PH and the Kruger official wanted me to take a closer shot but the hippo was in an open field. We couldn't get closer till dusk. The video camera gathers more light than my eyes did. At dusk we slowly moved closer to 70...

I haven't got it back yet. I am looking forward to having it measured. Hopefully I will have it back in 2 months.

I made my first South African Safari in May 2016 and took 7 animals. I had studied the Perfect Shot 2 pictures for proper shot placement. I had a great time but that sparked my interest in Cape Buffalo. I had told JD Safaris that I may be interested in a Cape Buffalo hunt in 2017. JD said it...

I had thought about traveling to New Mexico for a Gemsbuck but it is much better to see them in their natural habitat.

This was a problem hippo eating the farmers crops and coming up to their house.

A great conservation hunt for a Giraffe.

My second African Safari was to harvest a Cape Buffalo, I took two.
