This is a topic where everybody seems to have a different opinion. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the Courteney Safari Boots.

May I ask if the work was done in Africa or the US?

No. I don't work for the government. Private contractor that won a government contract. They (CACI) pay for my flight.

As a general rule I am against the naming of wild animals. That's what antis do when an animal is killed that they get butt sore about (See Cecil the Lion). Does that make me a fuddy duddy?

Not true with me. The company pays for the flights and the airline points belong to me. That seems to be the normal these days.

Rare Breed - My flight was only 218,000 round trip. Trip is in June, I booked in October. I think that matters.

I consider myself very fortunate. I live in the USA and work as a contractor for the US Army. Within the last 12 months my company has sent me to Greece, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, The Netherlands, and Spain. I fly Delta every time. I am going to South Africa for my first safari ever this...

I grew up in Maryland in a non-hunting family. My Dad never hunted. Not that he was against it or an "anti", it was just never a consideration. After 1 year of college I joined the United States Army. After a few years in the Army I got stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina where I would meet...

Again... another reason to ask real world people how long it took in real life.

I have. It is my experience that taxidermists, generally, exaggerate the shortness of the time it will take to get your trophys back. My "you will have it in 10 months" bear, took over 2 years. I like to get real world information.

Perfect. Thank you.

For those that have contracted recently with a RSA Taxidermist to do a Dip and Ship to the US via air, what is the approximate turn around time?

You know what else can negatively impact the South African Child from growing up and experiencing a positive life? Being killed by a water buffalo while walking to the well.

I turn 59 in May and will be going to RSA for my first African hunting trip in June.
