Hi all from Australia. I'm looking to plan a Moose hunt for 2025 or 2026, as it's well and truly risen to the top of my bucket list! As someone who has done all my hunting in the South Pacific and Africa, I'm really not up with US & Canadian hunting. So I'd like to mine your good selves for...

September 11-17th 2023 I've just returned from the Northern Territory of Australia where we enjoyed a fantastic safari. This is properly remote country, true wilderness seen by very few people. Alex Jagers, from Big Country Safaris, holds the hunting rights to 1.2 million acres of Arnhemland...

Just completed this piece. I did the mounts, snd my talented client John made the shield out of Australian redgum hardwood. Both hunted on a trip we took together in 2019 with KMG Hunting Safaris, South Africa.

Just finished this triple pedestal mount. All hunted with KMG Safaris in RSA. My client John was the brains behind the display, using Mexican Cyprus and Red Gum pillars, on an antique walnut burl base. It not only shows off his trophies, but his love of woodwork. I quite like the result.

Outfitter: @KMG Hunting Safaris PH : Marius Goosen, Martin Neuper Zimbabwe, Limpopo & Eastern Cape The Background... Back in 2019, Mark and I made plans with Marius from KMG for the “trip of a lifetime”, the Big Bull Safari. Mark dreamt of walking in the tracks of Bull Elephant, while for...

Well back in March 2019, @Mark R and I booked a return safari With @KMG Hunting Safaris for June 2020. The target was to be a Cape Buffalo for me, and Bull Ele for Mark on a 10-day hunt. We all know what happened in the interim! But finally after 3 years wait, we are now 35 days out, readying...

Just got word through my travel agent here in Australia, that SAA are carrying firearms again. Good news and more options available to hunters. Here's the message...

G'day all from South Australia, I thought I'd share a few progress pics of my trophy room project that has been a long time coming. I previously had a small room lined in the end of my taxidermy workshop, but I'd well and truly outgrown it. So plans were made for a larger showroom. My new...

Hey all, I finally got finished working my way through the mounts from my 2018 Eastern Cape hunt with KMG Safaris. Great to have the gang back together;) Cheers for looking, Tim

Well I've had an exceptionally lucky year when it comes to hunting. Our African Buff/Ele hunt with KMG Safaris has been postponed again....2020, 21, now August 2022. Fingers crossed. So with Africa on the backburner again, I made some plan B's & C's, knowing that most probably wouldn't come off...

G'day all, Well with our long-held plans to hunt Cape Buffalo in August this year being derailed by you-know-what, I didn't have much on the cards this year. Most of our state borders have been closed so travel has been very limited. A good mate rang one day to say the Northern Territory had...

Just delivered this beautiful Sable Bull on a unique sand blasted timber pedestal.

G'Day Folks! Soon after I returned from a fantastic safari with KMG in 2018, a group of fellow Aussies showed interest in accompanying me back on their first African visit. So I proceeded to organise the group through my taxidermy business, and before the dust had even settled, dates were...

G'day all, In October late last year I fulfilled a long term goal taking a great 13" free range bull tahr in New Zealand. I've now got the mount finished and on the wall, and thought I'd share some pics. ;)

Nyala bull, bowhunted in South Africa. Recently finished for a fellow Aussie client. Cheers Tim

Blue Wildebeest bull I recently finished for a fellow Aussie client. Nice markings on this guy. Cheers Tim

Ok guys, I have to share my excitement. Safaris number 3 & 4 are booked. It's taken a while to sort out exactly what I'll be hunting....I just kinda booked the dates well in advance and figured that Marius and I will figure out something cool along the way! And we have! So this July 2019 we...

Hi all. This is the story of a hunt I undertook back in 2010, organized by the late, great Matt Graham of the former Hunt Australia Safaris and guided by his younger brother. It's been just over two years since Matt's untimely passing, so I thought I'd recap the account of one of the best...

Hi all, finally after a 2 1/2 year wait I've finished my Kudu and Oryx mounts from my awesome hunt in Namibia with Kowas Safaris in 2016. I don't really have room for them but will jam them somewhere! Initially the drawers were only makeshift pedestals but now I don't mind them....and they're...

Just had to share this. Celebrating a birthday today, and my wife and daughters surprised me with a canvas print of a photo I took in Botswana a few weeks ago. It takes pride of place in the dining room. Love it!

G'Day All! This will be a diary-style report of our family's trip of a lifetime. apologies in advance for the length. I'll try and keep it as updated as I can, and as WiFi allows!! This story really starts 3 years ago. I was planning my first African safari along with my wife, Nikki, and good...

G'Day all from Australia. I'm half way through mounting my trophies taken in May 2016 at Kowas in Namibia. These four have found their place in my trophy room. I still have a couple of smaller life size mounts as well as my Kudu and Oryx to finish. Here's a few pics! Cheers Tim

Apologies in advance for the lengthy report, but I feel this is important to share. In May 2016 I took my first safari to Africa. We chose to hunt at Kowas Safaris in Namibia and everything about the hunt was absolutely first class, more than I’d ever hoped for. I’d repeat the hunt in a...

Hi all, I'm interested in hearing some first-hand recommendations for family-friendly accommodation in Vic Falls. I'm hunting with KMG in early July '18, and then the family and I are touring for three weeks. Our two daughters will be 13 & 15. We've managed to find good accommodation in...

Hi all, I put together these couple of video clips a couple of years back. I just came across them again, so thought I might share them here to show a little Aussie style hunting (with a touch of NZ thrown in.) The first clip is a compilation of highlights from a decade of hunting all around...

Hi all, I've just booked my second African safari, after having had a great hunt in Namibia with Kowas last May. This time we are headed to the East Cape with Marius from KMG in early July 2018. On my list is Nyala, Bushbuck, Eland, Zebra and Blesbok. But of course, we'll be flexible and take...

Hi all, A mate of mine is heading to Tanzania and Zanzibar on a holiday with his better half. While they are there they plan to do a 4 day photographic safari or similar. Is it possible to do this and add on say 1-2 days hunting just for a small trophy like an Impala? He'd like to hunt a...

Hi all, A mate and I are kicking around a few ideas for our next Safari, and these two spiral horns seem to be at the top of our lists. I'm researching areas and outfitters, and would like to know some suggestions to short-list please. I'm also interested to hear what other species might be...

Outfitter - Kowas Adventure Safaris, Namibia PH - Jacques Strauss Dates - 9-18 May, 2016 Target - Plains Game I am now back home after the long journey back home to Australia - four flights in all, over 2.5 days, and a fair case of jetlag to go with it. But it was worth every second of...

Hello all, just had to share some of my excitement! After a year of planning & saving, and many years dreaming, my first African safari is now just 10 weeks away. Things are getting busy now as we organise permits, get rifles ready, etc. While for my wife and I, it's our first time in Africa...

Hi there, planning to hunt Namibia for PG in 2016 and starting to make a few plans. I do a little taxidermy and will mount my trophies myself, so to try and cut down on the processes required and make importation easier I'd like to have all my capes tanned and shaved ready to mount over there...

Hi all, A mate and I are chasing a no-bullshit FREE RANGE (ie, not high-fenced) hunt for 2016 and our primary species are Kudu and Eland. Other species wanted are Oryx, Warthog, Springbuck, and a few of the smaller guys. Originally we were looking at Namibia but I'm concerned about the Kudu...

Hi all, After some reccommendations for a Namibia outfitter please who will suit our needs. Have a few mates also doing some research and we are looking at heading over in 2016, some are members here. There is going to be 4-6 hunters and at least one observer. There are a couple of us who...

G'day all, thought I'd say hello, I've been looking through the forum for a while now and it looks like a great source of info. I am from S/E South Australia and have been hunting since childhood, I've been lucky enough to hunt most states in Aus now and taken nearly all our game species...
