Tim, Glad you were able to sort this out. Unfortunately for my mounts, there isn't anything that can be done, as it wouldn't be feasible to return them for "overhauling" for the lack of a better word. The eyes, nostrils and lips could use a serious make over and that would go a long way to...

Just returned with clients from Africa and I see this thread is alive and well. Tim, to answer your question, 3 of us hunted with Bowker Safaris in July of 2007. Brad Coffey, Louis Resha and I left our trophies with Karoo Taxidermy out of Graaf Reinett, Eastern Cape, RSA at the end of our...

Enjoyed the video Dennis, especially watching my Leopard come together :) I remember Wendy coming on the scene before she and Gary were married. Never met either of them but kept up with their work via the trade magazines and shows. Having once been in your profession, I understand the...

BRICKBURN, apologies for the slow reply, I was away on a fishing trip. Let's start with my Caracal Lynx; these photo's should answer any questions concerning my ordeal with Karoo Taxidermy. I'll add text if needed but these photo's speak for themselves. Rear foot (all 4 feet looked and felt...

None taken as I never cared to show anyone but I'll see if I can get one of the caracal rug as an example. I do however show photo's of work I've had done by The Artistry of Wildlife (Michigan).

Thanks for the reply Frank. I have seen this with the 240 grain copper Raptor designed for the Colt pistol. I used them in my .50 muzzle loader for Whitetail deer. They were quite explosive on penetration but petals exited the far side and as well as the main body. They have since began work on...

Communication was good, crating was good, but our mounts were not what expected. All finish work (eyes, nose, lips) were painted with a small hand brush (airbrush is far superior), my Caracal rug looked awful (paws looked like they had lumps of clay pushed up in them helter skelter) and the face...

What they caught CA is hard to beat! That Scamp itself is tops to me when it comes to the Grouper family. A lot of people don't like or think they won't like King Mackerel. I can promise you, I make a smoked king spread that is as good as any smoked tuna and here is a pic of some king mackerel...

Thanks CA, I plan on going back myself. :)

Looks like you guys had a good time and got into the Red Grouper and that's a toad of a Scamp! Great Snapper too. I've been doing overnight trips in the Gulf since 1973. In those days there were no limits on any fish. Now we schedule the trips accordingly with the Red Snapper season and the...

By the way, the Moose steaks have been phenomenal!

Thanks reedy0312

Thank you BRICKBURN :)

Thanks Mekaniks :)

October 4th, 2015 finds me in Newfoundland at Crabbes River Outfitters remote "Moose" camp with owners Everett and Angus Kettle. The previous Fall I had booked a couple of friends on a bow hunt for Moose. They had returned along with another friend of theirs and a married couple I knew. It was a...
