So it may come down to this. What they don't know won't hurt them. Do you really think that some govt agency has the time to track every mounted animal in the US? If you bring it to their attention then yea hell they can't even keep up with one laptop in Washington.

It's a shame if the mount is not allowed to cross state lines. What damn difference would it make. Someone else comes in on the scene & keeps a mount alive in lieu of allowing it to waste away. Sure I'd rather mount ine for a customer. Now that being said some aren't worth saving.

The orangeglow is liquid so easier to apply & good penetration. Holds color well too

Orange Glow furniture polish squeeze pump sprayer. Spray on horns & brush in. Forget about it for a few days to allow it to penetrate. The lustre will finish to a satin finish like you see when glassing them live. Have done several methods & found I like this the best. Yes I'm a taxidermist.

Congrats on the cat & that you enjoyed all of your adventure.

Thank You IronRanger. Based on what I'm seeing here things have really ballooned since my trip to Zimbabwe in 2001. Yes 22 yrs ago & I'm finally headed back. Maybe a little research due here. Anyone considered ocean freight as an option?

I realize the trophies originated in Mozambique, are unique & therefore added cost to move to S Africa & all involved but it would be good for someone to post here this year's experience in costs to get trophies from Zimbabwe & Namibia. Doesn't have to be like kind animals just an overall with...

Congrats on a great Kudu. Nice & wide too!

I am a taxidermist in SC. The mount appears to be in above average condition. The base however needs to be replaced. The going price for someone wanting to buy it for decoration purposes is in the $2500 range. If someone is wanting to replace one for whatever reasons could be higher. Of course...

Thx JimP for the practice idea. And The Engineer broke into the area I need to remember as I begin practicing my longer shots. By filling up the scope with the animal at long distance may be a detriment. Good thoughts everyone. Now for more research...

Thx everyone. So a little more in this area. I purposely left off brand of scope to not enter the "my scope's better than your scope" arena. Let's see how the following fits into this equation: Because of deer hunting in SC being so low light dominant my scope is 56mm with a 1" tube. I'm...

I will be on Safari in Namibia July of 24. New rifle- Browning Canyon 6.8 Win Western. This caliper lends itself well to mid size antelopes, bear, aoudad & even Elk. Flat shooting with effective range out to 400+ yds. I have always been one to want my shots under 200 yds. But it might be time to...
