Thanks for the help and comments everyone! The reason I was initially concerned with this was the Balule Rep said this bull was 6 years old. From my reading and studying I didnt think a bull would have hard bosses at 6 or 7, but more likely 8 or 9. I think I align with yalls opinion he is closer...

How should I tip when I have split PH's? For my hunt we had signed up for 2x1 for dangerous game then plains game at the end. What ended up happening was we had guide A for 2 days of dangerous game hunting, then split into 1x1 for plains game. I spent one day with guide B alone, then on day 4 we...

Here is my dad's bull

Finally got it to go

Pictures didnt load the first time, here they are. To clarify a little I didnt feel much pressure from the PH to shot that bull. He was semi hard bossed with soft fronts, but my PH said we can do better. I did feel pressured to shoot a bull out of that heard though as we weren't having many...

I am currently halfway through my South African Safari, having just taken my bull on day 4 of 8. I spent a long time researching different Safaris with the intent to take a free range buff from RSA. My experience has been very interesting, but not to say I am disappointed. I wanted to see what...

Did you decide on a hunt yet? I am currently sitting in a private concession chasing Plains Game, after harvesting my bull yesterday on the Babule APNR. I spent two years looking for the right option for my dad and I, happy to share knowledge if youre still looking

If a there is a thread out there somewhere that covers this please point me as I didn't find it in my search. BUT I want to know the basics of Taxidermy for South Africa, what are your options? I am not referring the specifics of taxidermy and how it is done, but what are ones options for...

I just saw that one another forum here, when I went to their website it didnt say exactly so maybe its good now. Also funny about Lou, we were this close to booking our buffalo hunt with him. Heck of a guy!

RB, have you tried this method and tested it for a good timeframe after? The only reason I ask is I saw something on another forum here where Courteney specifically calls out to not use saddle soap as it will rot the stitches.

Since the 2026 Safari show is about to start/underway, I wanted to share my experience and thoughts from attending DSC 2025 Convention for the first time last year in Atlanta. 1) Prepare to be overwhelmed. If this is your first international show there is going to be a lot going on. Don't...

I tried them on at the DSC convention and noted/pictured the size and boots I needed. I confirmed with the seller the size before purchasing so hopefully its correct.

We are doing our buffalo hunt on the Klaserie, which is what we were told we need "quite" boots for. Do you have any recommendations?

The boots pictures are the actual items I purchased (pending delivery) but I thought the James Leddys looked in excellent shape. Does Al still work there? I have heard there was a lot going on with that company, but my father was wanting some cape buffalo boots made? Could you share some...
