I have been on an elk hunt that we didn't see a elk that we could even pursue. I went back with the same outfitter because I felt as though he was looking out for me and we had a good time even with no animals. I was fortunate to take a bull over 320 inches on the second trip. Joy is a...

Not really answering your question but I saw this today. I shot a really large giraffe a few years ago and left it for the lodge. It looks great there and I have a very large backskin and really good photos.

Erik—he is fantastic!!! Beautiful work as always!!!

I hunted eastern cape last summer. I’m a fan of layering. Cheap fleece has normally covered my needs on 6 other safaris. However, we were chasing tiny ten and some at night and I was cold!!!!! I brought an axis jacket from KUIU which is a combo puffy jacket. I thought I wasted my time...

Welcome from a fellow SC member!

Prayers Steve!!

Delta and others at one point stopped shipping dangerous game items and Turkish air was the only player. They dictate prices

I can’t quote precisely my latest shipment I received thee weeks ago, but I had a roan on a pedestal, kudu shoulder, mountain and common reedbuck shoulders, full civet and serval and genet and skull and skin of springbok and full skin of zebra. Shipping and import thru coppersmith ATL was 3500...
