My opinion comes from having managed two hunting lodges in the San Fernando area between 2002 and 2004. The people were great to work with, however that one time something goes wrong, you cannot ask for a do over. During my first duck season in Mexico, we had a wealth Mexican client and his two...

Go on Gun Broker, jump to page 20 and start looking for a Win 70 in 375. I did, and I found a 1975 Win 70 in as near perfect condition as you can find. I ended up being the only bidder due to the death the rifle was in at GB, won it for $895. In September this year.

I don't think the amount is over inflated. I believe I paiI $900 for 8 shoulder mounts. What I am impressed with is the freight cost for the amount of mounts you have. I got my 8 back last December and it was $5400 for air freight to Houston. Coppersmith charge $1300 for handling and delivery...

What did you use to adhere the rug to the wall ?

Ramon Allones, Oliva Series V, AJ Fernandez Hoyo Black, Padron 1964 Torpedo. Any of these, any time, all the time....

Dee Don't know if you enjoy Cigar's but would love to meet up and discuss your hunt. I also had my Kudu shoulder pedestal mounted. I live in SA as well. Hope to talk soon.

I am not sure your question was answered clearly. There will be three separate charges for your animals, a taxidermy bill, a separate export freight bill, and an importation bill. Taxidermy bill amount will depend on how you have your mounts down, export cost will be different if you use ocean...

Welcome to the group. Good luck in Africa.

Glad to have you on board, I am also from San Antonio.

Wow, that is stunning.

Sorry for the delay in answering. Yes the amount is correct. Joe Regal Taxidermy in SA did them. They came out great.

My crate was delivered Dec 28th from Houston. Zingela exported them by air freight 7 large wall pedestal mount and Zebra rug cost $5400, and Coppersmith fees and delivery to San Antonio was $1350. Took 6 days to be delivered once it touch down in Houston and went thru inspection. Vanessa at...

I used Joe Regal taxidermy in South Africa. He did amazing work very reasonable price. Had all my mounts and Zebra rug done in in 4 months.

I originally book this hunt for 2020 and was flying Delta from Atlanta to Johannesburg direct but when Covid was over and the dates for my 2022 hunt occurred, Delta had reduced the number of direct flights and I could not get on one. So I flew Atlanta to Paris, then to Joberg. Freaking 13 hour...

I just got back from a May 2022 hunt in South Africa, so I can give you a good idea of the true cost. I took 8 animals in total during an 8 day hunt. I took Sable, Kudu, Gemsbok, Impala, Springbok, Blesbok, Blue Wildebeest and Zebra. The hunt cost about $14,000, my flight was about $2800, I...
