    Hunting the Tiny Ten

    I don't think you can get all in one place on a single safari, most can be taken together in the same country but not all, take for example the Dik-Dik is in Namibia but they don't have the red Forrest Duiker. Now if you want to take one trip that hits more than one country. (South Africa...

    How can you insure it door to door when 2 different shipping companies are being used?

    REPORT: My bad experience with Highveld Taxidermists/Oxi Logistics

    Ok let's lay this out in a little easier. Let's call Africa point "a" let's call NY point "b" and let's call your home point "c", will call oxi company "x" let's call your personal custom brokers and freight forwarder company "y" you ask company "x" to ship you trophies from point "a" to point...

    REPORT: My bad experience with Highveld Taxidermists/Oxi Logistics

    If he would have used oxi's custom broker it would have been, but he chose a different company, now doing that JR would you assume they would also insure this different company or do you think you would need insurance through them as well. I mean it sucks that it happened, but you and I both...

    REPORT: My bad experience with Highveld Taxidermists/Oxi Logistics

    You chose your own custom broker to freight forward from NY to your home, this company damaged you items and is not affiliated with oxi, why would oxi or in this case highveld be responsible. Who is the company you used to ship it from NY to your home? And in my eyes why are you holding them...

    REPORT: My bad experience with Highveld Taxidermists/Oxi Logistics

    I'm sorry I'm not seeing your point. Your saying that oxi should have covered shipping insurance for your personnel custom broker that's not affiliated with them? Why would they?

    REPORT: My bad experience with Highveld Taxidermists/Oxi Logistics

    Just a question, but is it my understanding that trophies made it to the USA with 0 problems and from that point, your custom broker took possession and shipped from from entry point from USA to your house?

    Arrival at Johannesburg airport

    Agree with brick on guns will be safe, the only issue is a good case, have seen a couple guys with broken rifles. What caliber of rifles are you taking? There's a good chance your outfitter might have back up ammo on hand in case luggage is delayed, probably have a good camp rifle as well. Don't...

    Interesting Point About Bow Shot Placement

    Very interesting and informative topic, let me ask this as I would love to hear from some of you who have hunted lions. I noticed on the the vital area of a lion, that the lungs and heart are not as far forward as a typical african species, so my question if you have a broadside shot on a lion...

    For those of you heading to SCI convention

    Yeah all this showmanship to earn top awards is now a big pissing match between these guys and being played out on a national scale , which is really going to undermine all the good things this organization has done for the hunting industry. No one will come out a winner in this.

    Can a "proper" buffalo hunt be found in South Africa?

    Check out crusader safaris, they do free range no fence hunts in RSA, I have not hunted with them myself but have heard nothing but good things about them. I know they do some buffalo hunts in the greater Kruger conservatory. It's pricey but it's exactly what your looking for.
