cape

It was silent and the sun was setting. The truck was quiet as my crew was exhausted. We had been out all day and we had tracked buffalo without getting a shot. The Selous didnt disappoint, proviing us an excellent #safari day. We saw many species from #hippo to #elephant . But the buffalo just...

I'm new here. Happy to help with any advise regarding with taxidermy, dip and ship, bleaching, caping, etc.

So I wasn't going to Africa this year. It just wasn't going to happen. I had been fortunate enough to go twice in two seasons and it was time for a break and let the pocketbook recover. But then I made a mistake.... I kept hanging around here. Oops.... I enjoy telling the backstory of a hunt...

This was a beautiful Cape buffalo bull of 42 inches. I loved the way the horns dropped down and still went out wide outside the ears. What a great hunt!

Another photo of the gemsbok I took on my first trip to SA. It gives a better view of the horns.

If this knarly old bull ain't a dagga boy, I don't know what is... Took us four solid days to get him in the Hwange Park region of Zim. The lions had hundreds of buff surrounded and herded for the entire time I was there, trackers managed to shag out 3 of the old boys and I took the biggest...

Hunting the Omay with Martin Pieters Safaris...this bull had been wounded months earlier. My bullets didn't perform even though I had hit him hard several times. Lots of lung blood, but you know the saying - the dead ones get you. notice the bullet hole below is right eye...from PH Allan Moody...

Ty, a very very happy guy!

A beautiful "Blue" bull. Nice forehead ruff and big dewlap to boot. These antelope are immense. If a hunters happiness was related to the weight of his quarry...I was a very very happy guy!
