Tim, Glad you were able to sort this out. Unfortunately for my mounts, there isn't anything that can be done, as it wouldn't be feasible to return them for "overhauling" for the lack of a better word. The eyes, nostrils and lips could use a serious make over and that would go a long way to...

Just returned with clients from Africa and I see this thread is alive and well. Tim, to answer your question, 3 of us hunted with Bowker Safaris in July of 2007. Brad Coffey, Louis Resha and I left our trophies with Karoo Taxidermy out of Graaf Reinett, Eastern Cape, RSA at the end of our...

Enjoyed the video Dennis, especially watching my Leopard come together :) I remember Wendy coming on the scene before she and Gary were married. Never met either of them but kept up with their work via the trade magazines and shows. Having once been in your profession, I understand the...

BRICKBURN, apologies for the slow reply, I was away on a fishing trip. Let's start with my Caracal Lynx; these photo's should answer any questions concerning my ordeal with Karoo Taxidermy. I'll add text if needed but these photo's speak for themselves. Rear foot (all 4 feet looked and felt...

None taken as I never cared to show anyone but I'll see if I can get one of the caracal rug as an example. I do however show photo's of work I've had done by The Artistry of Wildlife (Michigan).

Thanks for the reply Frank. I have seen this with the 240 grain copper Raptor designed for the Colt pistol. I used them in my .50 muzzle loader for Whitetail deer. They were quite explosive on penetration but petals exited the far side and as well as the main body. They have since began work on...

Communication was good, crating was good, but our mounts were not what expected. All finish work (eyes, nose, lips) were painted with a small hand brush (airbrush is far superior), my Caracal rug looked awful (paws looked like they had lumps of clay pushed up in them helter skelter) and the face...

What they caught CA is hard to beat! That Scamp itself is tops to me when it comes to the Grouper family. A lot of people don't like or think they won't like King Mackerel. I can promise you, I make a smoked king spread that is as good as any smoked tuna and here is a pic of some king mackerel...

Thanks CA, I plan on going back myself. :)

Looks like you guys had a good time and got into the Red Grouper and that's a toad of a Scamp! Great Snapper too. I've been doing overnight trips in the Gulf since 1973. In those days there were no limits on any fish. Now we schedule the trips accordingly with the Red Snapper season and the...

By the way, the Moose steaks have been phenomenal!

Thanks reedy0312

Thank you BRICKBURN :)

Thanks Mekaniks :)

October 4th, 2015 finds me in Newfoundland at Crabbes River Outfitters remote "Moose" camp with owners Everett and Angus Kettle. The previous Fall I had booked a couple of friends on a bow hunt for Moose. They had returned along with another friend of theirs and a married couple I knew. It was a...

Congrats, once you have a wild bird on the table, you never want one from the store again :)

Beautiful country to track Elephant in, congrats Lin!

Bushbuck are known to be extremely aggressive when wounded, glad everyone made it out with no serious injury. Quite a trophy Frank, but I am surprised at the CEB's performance. I've been using them for several years now and have had no failures. The Black Talon's separation from the jacket...

Congrats Frank on your bull. I love KZN, great hunting there. How was the CEB's performance all around on your hunt?

Outstanding!

Very difficult to choose, all are deserving. However, I must go with #5

Check out the double spurs on this cock bird. We shot Natal and Crested.

Had some great bird hunting in Zimbabwe. Crested and Natal Francolin with a few Guinea fowl.

Early morning waterfowl hunt in Zim. Spurwing and Egyptian Geese, Knob bill ducks and a few Guinea fowl. Had we had larger shot and heavier loads, our bag would have been greater. Ate some of the birds. As good as our Mallard.

The Eastern Cape has some excellent hunting, and some properties cover thousands of acres, some with cattle fencing, some with high fence (certain game animals require this such as Rhino, Buffalo etc.). For plains game, there are plenty of opportunities to hunt large open areas depending upon...

Good friend and client of mine with the #12 Blue Wildebeest while hunting with me. I took a 30" bull that day myself.

A good friend and client tied the #1 Black Wildebeest while hunting with me in South Africa. He also holds the #12 Blue Wildebeest

Enter me please

30" Waterbuck that was running with two brothers. We'd been looking for "Slick Willy" another bull that was sporting 33" horns but never found him until the last day. I took this bull half way through our hunt but continued to search for the king pin. Found him on our last...

The wind was howling this day. I slipped to within 40 yards of this old guy...he didn't know what hit him. I like Warthog's, they're so ugly their cool!

Having lunch in the forest with a braai is some of the best time you can spend with friends. Discussing the mornings hunt; politics, weather, guns, dogs, cartridges...it doesn't really matter whether you say a lot or very little....it's time well spent in the shade with good food and friends.

These are some of the fastest of all plains game and a real challenge to hunt properly. Good eyesight and a keen nose keep them one step ahead of the careless hunter.

One of my favorite places to hunt in all of the East Cape

The hunt for uncle Bob! Eastern Cape

Good looking cat, congrats

I don't think it could get much better than this Bobby. Congrats on a giant of a tembo!

Once again the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) will hold it's annual convention at Nashville, TN. The Opryland Hotel will host the event. Many trips and goods will be auctioned off including a number of hunts to Africa. You do not have to attend to bid on these hunts/items, you may...
