I don't have any experience with the Scythe Ti, but I have been using the Omega 300 (shown in my profile pic) for about 5yrs now and I really like it. Relatively lightweight, though probably not as light as the Scythe. It also came with the muzzle brake, QD mount, and QD compatible muzzle...

I've been wearing the Kenetrek Mountain Extreme Uninsulated for a several years now. Super supportive and rugged. Absolutely waterproof when you keep them maintained and waxed. Only downside is they are H.E.A.V.Y.

I have a jar in my office full of cartridge cases from *most* of the animals I've harvested. I use a Sharpie and write the species (and pertinent measurement, if applicable), location, month/year, and range. Then I let it dry and lightly coat with clear nail polish. I've also dropped a couple...

If you still have questions about toal price of shipping, dealing with Kuche, etc. feel free to shoot me a DM. I'll show you how things tallied up for me.

Well... final payments have been made and my crate should ship via air freight as soon as it is manifested. Fingers crossed that my trophies will arrive by mid-to-late March?? On a similar and painfully ironic note: my Axis buck that I shot in Hawaii back in April is already finished and...

I'm dealing with Wyatt at SSI as well, and expecting my crate to arrive within the next 30-45 days. My wife and I hunted with Kuche in July of 2023, I've detailed my frustrations on another thread. Hopefully the nightmare will soon be over! PS-- Do we have the same profile pic? haha

I enlisted the services of Wyatt at Safari Specialty Importers to broker the rest of the process. Right before the holiday break they were waiting on Eagle Eye to get the permits to ship. Still waiting on that to clear now that things have opened back up after the holidays. Hopefully should hear...

As long as it was legal to do so, I see no ethical issue with taking a shot at the buck in your backyard. I probably wouldn't shoot him while holding the backdoor open with one foot in the kitchen, but if I was able to sneak around the corner of the house or at least fully step outside...

We used Delta from ATL straight across to JoBurg (fun fact: it's the longest non-stop flight that Delta offers). Only issue was on the way back, our changeover in ATL was pretty tight due to customs and we missed our final flight home to OKC. Delta tends to book tight connections. But other...

That's what I was kind of hoping to do if they sent it to Richmond, but oh well.

Yeah I actually just spoke with a stateside importer who advised to clear through JFK. Looks like that route makes a lot more sense.

I just got an updated quote from Eagle Eye this morning. They corrected my home shipping address in VA, but they still want to send it to Dallas Airport...? I told them the nearest USDA approved airport was Richmond, VA. Is there a reason why they can't/won't ship it there instead?

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but another (and in my opinion, very important) aspect of the camo coating on waterfowl shotguns is that it helps them mitigate damage from water, etc. I have a Stoeger M3000 which is very inexpensive but punches above its weight in my experience...
