    My trophies are on the move from ZA

    And they finally got here today! Bullseye did a great job and I have already hung a few in my office/now a trophy room. Even bigger surprise my wife suggested hanging the wildebeest above the front door?!? Super excited to finally have them home.

    My trophies are on the move from ZA

    Well not so much Wednesday but I did get a call and scheduled delivery for Friday! The 8 days are a flat fee and I guess it balances out if you are lucky enough for a 2 day release but since mine took over a month thanks to the shutdown it worked well for me.

    My trophies are on the move from ZA

    My trophies have been picked up but the final shipper and should be here by Wednesday! The eight days in storage is just what I was paying upfront. That was the only price I needed to pay for storage. It really worked out for me with this shutdown that the 535 dolts in Congress are causing. My...

    My trophies are on the move from ZA

    Wyatt called me this evening and said that my trophies have finally been released, thanks to all our Senators for making we wait. Hopefully here next week and really glad I went with SSI so I did not pay a month of storage fees.

    Traveling with rifle to RSA - do you need a "fixer"?

    That is an interesting observation, if you can do it yourself successfully please help others rather than PM, we are all here to learn. Myself, I saved for 2 years to go and I did the VIP meet and greet and Riflepermits. Total was $250 and I left more than that in ammo when I left. I did the...

    SCI Membership and Measurement Awards - Worth it?

    Join SCI! I care so much I joined the local chapters Board of Directors. As far as the measuring, my 3 year membership gets me 3 free entries, my impala should make Bronze and is a fun footnote to my first trip not any sort of real accomplishment to me.

    I live in NH but all the stupid MA laws I pay the 100/year for an out of state MA permit. As long as its cased walking by State Troopers they don't even give a second glance. When I checked into United for Africa last year the checkin only took a half hour because I don't think the lady had...

    The cherry bomb on my fix is a good suppressor mount but a loud comp similar to your setup David. I ran the whistle tip device which does the same thing and my PH did not seem to have a problem with the blast forward problem. I would loved to have taken my suppressor but did not want to deal...
