Sounds like we need to get to talking! And I got to start making some more money! But getting the discussion rolling starts to give life to the vision, I have a few ideas or how I would want the hippo to sit and it can evolve from there. This very well could be the first of its kind of chair, a...

This question is posed to the taxidermists on the forum or to anyone with the knowledge that can help. My wife detests the idea but, is also kinda intrigued by the vision.. maybe its the hyena butler mount sitting next to me that sets her off? I have been wanting to shoot a hippo for a while...

I know the feeling, I have been chasing for a hyena for 9 years and I think my wife is the culprit wishing be bad luck...!!! She doesn't want a full body mount sitting next to my chair in the den holding my beer and remote.... I just don't know why she wouldnt like that... such a cool idea..?

The one country I have not gotten to travel in Southern Africa is Lesotho and I always heard great things about the people and the country as a whole. That is sad to see but really not surprising knowing africa.

Well said velo dog, I believe those words resound in all of us...

If only the seasons were syncd I would defiantly think of one day spending my winters in africa and summers in the states! That would be the life!

Now how would you caption this hunting show...!! Cause Santa only has studs flying his sleigh! Lots of poor little boys and girls... thank goodness for Amazon!

That is crazy about Lesotho!

Also I forgot my copper buffalo that my wife absolutely hates! And I mean hates so much she even tried dropping it....!(at least she denies it, but I know the truth!) But it has a found a special place!

As we all know once you have been to Africa you are never the same and you just have to keep going back whether in person or in your dreams, it truly consumes you. I sit and dream everyday of my times in Africa and the fun, joy, fulfillment and the longing for days past.... So what keeps you...

I always had a problem with my sling sliding off my shoulder and it was always very irritating especially when hiking etc. plus I walk alot with my barrel down on the shoulder because of thick brush always catching the barrel:mad:. I found the Claw to be cheap and extremely effective in the no...

I have worn that hat all over Africa for the last 8 years and in regards to heat I sported it for 3 months in the Kalahari where it was 115 degrees in the shade and hot is hot no matter what hat you have in my opinion. plus I like to have a solid hat that will fan good on hi and lo;) I would...

I like the Claw sling for plains game rifle and no sling for the heavier bore and the Hat, I have a all leather Rogue hat I got in South Africa many years ago and it has lasted and has many more years of breaking in.

I have done all my hunting clothing shopping at Cabelas just love the prices and the quality but you have to be a smart shopper, and you might have better luck online since that is where I did my shopping(I don't have a store close by) Just a heads up the "safari" stuff they sell isn't a nice...

What a Goal! Welcome!

Rifle would be my first choice for African spot and stalk, I'm not too keen on sitting in a blind with my bow or rifle, try not to do it in the states definitely don't want to do it in Africa kinda takes the fun/challenge out of it. If I had plenty of time no pressure and a very patient PH and...

Food, Cold drinking water and Good Coffee! Give me a blow up camp mattress and mosquito net and I will be fine but if the food is just OK or below par this hunter is not a happy camper. I don't even mind cold showers but food and snacks is where it's at!

Welcome! If you are interested in planning your very first African adventure take a look at the planning guide the guys on AH have done an amazing job compiling years worth of information of hunts, general knowledge, and the dreaded mistakes that we all learn from! All this makes for a less...

I shoot a .300 win mag for all plains game and never used Hornady in Africa, I used Hornady here in the states for one season and the results were not good (I would never use their whitetail load it is junk) I used SST and had total disintegration and no pass through same with the interbond the...

This is just disgusting, these people are not hunters they are there for sport and fun and unfortunately I can not comprehend what sport or kind of fun that is! Castration, tarring and feathering would be in order. Boils my blood!

Differences of opinion aside, You are a very skilled taxidermist and with that said I have some pics that you as a taxidermist might appreciate the grass roots methods. While living in Botswana I had the opportunity to live in a Bushman settlement for several months and got to know and learn a...

Very Nice!! Well Done!

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it did it make a sound? I think it is the same as if the property has a fence and you never see it... You know it is there but does it really matter? It comes down to fair chase and what is your definition of hunting, If you are hunting a...

But to answer your question, If i could take minimal supplies to live off the land and hunt for weeks in the bush with a skilled bushman leading and teaching... The answer is YES!! I would in a heartbeat!! It is an amazing thing to watch a real bushman track!

Spike.t that kind of hunting is always great and always fun that is why they call it hunting! Hate to be a buzz kill but once proud peaceful people has mainly left their unique way of hunting and now it is hundreds if not thousands of snares catching and killing anything and everything. It is a...

How do you get in shape before your African safari.... Well getting in shape for your African Safari is like getting in shape for any hunt! I am what I would call a very athletic person, knowing the importance of being able to walk that extra mile in search of my prize and just plain go the...

7mm is a very good choice! and will take both animals but just know you can have a cannon with a wildebeest but there is a reason they are called the poor mans buffalo!

That sounds all to familiar from the good ole people at TSA!! Got to love job creation but no education.

Eat some Boerwors and have fun!(y)

All I will say is I have lived in Africa for many years and am a Proud American and while living in Africa I was always happy to say so because we do truly live in the land of opportunity. I have been afforded the ability to be able to hunt on a regular basis in Africa while I live there and...

Thank you Jason!! I lived in Ghanzi for a while but never had the opportunity to hunt. Saw the package but now I have read the details! Will be in touch.

If you don't mind me asking what is the size of the Farm/Hunting Area? Was thinking of doing either Namibia or Botswana next year(2015) you can pm me with more info.

hahahaha! Yup Good Label.  

I am a huge supporter of keeping it local.. I say why send it to someone who does 80-90% north american animals? When you have true artists right there who work with these species and the anatomy everyday? Crunching the numbers it always comes out cheaper to have my trophies done in South...

Hogpatrol and PaulT and Jaco you have said it best! Shame on the person who just trusts a random person to take control of their money and their dream... I cant tell you how many times I have sat at a hunting camp with all sorts of people from all over the world and stories of failed hunts and...

Self Guided Hunt - My first ever Kudu Bull shot with a British .303 at 200meters dropped where it stood, shooting in the sitting position on the side of a Koppie across a Kloof "Volunteering" /using my wife's shoulder as a rest. That is a memory I will never forget! And this is what started the...

There is nothing like taking your first Kudu bulls with an "Old" british .303.
