I went there in fall 0f 2013. Had a bad experience with my guide. Most of the hunters got moose. One was 39 inch. Lots of road hunters. I have a previous post regarding my hunt.

Went to Newfoundland in 2013 on a moose hunt. Had a bad experience with my guide who informed me on day 1 he was not killing himself getting no moose out. Don't think that guide works for that outfitter now. Moose are small but hunts are cheaper than Alaska by far.

I never thought of giving up on getting my Impala. It was a long process but paid off in the end. I appreciate everyone's input.

Three years after shooting my Impala, I got a letter yesterday Depart of the Interior. The reviewing officer ruled in favor of my Petition for Remission . She informed me that USF&W did not have sufficient evidence to claim my Impala was a Blackfaced Impala. Amazing this took so long. USF&W had...

I think you have find a US taxidermist licensed to receive imported capes.

The outfitting company had an Argo the guys used to get their moose out. They had to do a bit of chainsaw work but got them out. I did complain to my outfitter but he did nothing until the last day when I demanded another guide or my hunt was over.

I saw over 30 moose on this hunt. My guide had no desire to go after any, "all to far". It is my understanding from talking with the other hunters, they spent lots of time humping the boonies, to coin a Vietnam phrase. I am convinced the only reason this guy had a job his wife was the cook and a...

Most spent time walking. The guy that killed a moose the first day said his guide spotted the moose 2 miles away and they put a stalk onit.

In early Nov. 2013 I completed a moose hunt with Rays Hunting and Fishing Lodge in Newfoundland. I was assigned an elderly gentleman for my guide. I was a little apprehensive but voiced no objection. Day one of the hunt, my guide made the statement he was not going to "tear myself up getting no...

Update. I sent US Senators Inhofe and Coburn a packet with a letter detailing my problem with USF&W. I also sent copies of my Petition for Remission. Also included post from this web site. Within four days I received a call from the Attorney that will review my petition. She said she will have...

That looks a lot more like a Black Faced than mine

Seized Impala Hi, this is Doy Houston in Okla. I have a question and would appreciate any help. I hunted SA in 2011. I killed a Common Impala at Bayala Game Lodge close to the Indian Ocean . In July of 2013 my animals finally arrived in Houston. USF&W seized my Impala claiming it to be a Black...

This is late responding. I hunted in both Provinces. I did finally get all my animals except my Impala. It was confiscated by USF& and W in Houston. Claimed it was a Black Faced Impala. I have filed a Petition for Remission and requested a DNA that I am willing to pay for. I also sent pics of my...

I was told he was licensed in South Africa. I have since attempted to find his name on South Africa list of PH's and could not. Both pretty much left me on my own in regards to getting my animals back to US. Johannes, with Ubombo Taxidermy in Natal Province handled everything for me and got my...

Sorry I'm so late getting back. This is the picture of my Impala. Please give me your opinion if you think this is a Black Faced Impala or Common Impala. I have not heard anything on my Petition for Remission I filed in August. In my petition I stated I would pay for DNA.

I posted about a year ago concerning my hunt and the problems I had with my PH. I finally got all my animals but one. My animals came into the Houston port. U.S. Fish and Wildlife seized my Impala claiming it to be a Black-Faced Impala. My Impala was killed in Kwazulu-Natal province of SA. It...

Where is Mauritius?

Thanks everyone for your input. It is very helpful. I went to SA last year on my first trip and took 14 animals. It's somewhat addicting.

Is there a place in Africa where I can get a Grant's Gazelle, Lechwe, Common Waterbuck, Bushbuck and Sitatunga in one general location, or would I be required to do considerable travel? Any suggestions or info would help.

I originally booked the hunt through my friend in Grand Junction. He has known Wynand for many years. A friend of mine also went to Africa with me. Upon arrival we were picked up in Johannesburg by my Grand Junction friend who is also a PH.The first 4 or 5 days we stayed with Wynand in the...

I hunted in Mpumalanga Province of South Africa in July of 2011. My PH was Wynand De Jager. I hunted on private property in Mpumalanga and a private game reserve at Bayala, which is about 4 or 5 hours south close to the Indian Ocean. A licensed PH from Grand Junction, Colo. was also in our...
