A highly recommended hunt folks. I've been fortunate to hunt this amazing concession twice. It's massive, untouched country with fantastic game numbers, and Big Country are a quality outfit.

Missed this one! Cheers mate. I'm looking forward to getting him on the wall. ;)

Shoulder mount everything!! *Disclaimer: I am a taxidermist ;)

Welcome aboard Alex, great to have you on this excellent forum. For any members interested in hunting in Australia, look no further than Big Country Safaris. In my opinion they've well and truly earned the right to call themselves Australia's premier big game outfitter, although Alex is more...

Cheers mate. If you follow to the end of that thread, you'll see photos of a much more recent batch of tanned capes. Unfortunately, nothing has improved from where I sit. I cannot and will never recommend anybody to use their services. As I mentioned in that thread, in Australia we have the...

I couldn't agree more and will never waste another cent there. My recommendation for Namibia is Ingwe Wildlife Art.
