    Safari Travel Tip - Air Tags

    Samsung makes the Smart tag that does the same thing, only reporting when it sees an Android device. I recently bought some and sent one across two states with my son who is an Apple user and was pretty much able to figure out where he was as he traveled. I then made a trip to his house and...

    How has Everyone’s Hunting Season at Home been?

    The season to kill a bull ends on Oct 31, she has surgery (bone reconstruction and a ruptured tendon) scheduled for Nov 1. Non weight bearing for 8-12 weeks after that so she wanted to wait until season was over just in case. She really toughed it out for this bull, there were a couple days we...

    How has Everyone’s Hunting Season at Home been?

    While my hunting season is probably a blank this year, my wife did fill her Nebraska elk tag. He is not a giant bull, probably not a trophy to a lot of people, but considering we only had 360 acres to hunt on and she is getting around on an ankle that the doctor wanted her to have surgery on 4...

    Trade 416 Remington Brass For??

    I have 35 that appear to be new or maybe once fired then resized and polished 416 Remington Brass that came as an add on in an auction. I would love to trade for something useful to me. I could really use some 300WSM brass or maybe some 375 Ruger Mag. I may be interested in other hunting...

    Trophy Shippers offline?

    Well I know I said the last post was my final one, but here is truly the final episode of the saga. As John posted above he did indeed contact me the following Monday, Feb 13th and offered a refund of 1/2 or my storage fees which amounted to $2062.50. I will leave it up to everybody here to...

    Do you or have you participated in Competitive Shooting?

    I have been shooting trap since '89. Started when I was in college in Nebraska and somebody said there was a trap club in town. Learned to shoot trap on white targets under the lights with a great group of guys. Shot my first registered trap in '98, have given it up twice as finances wouldn't...

    Trophy Shippers offline?

    OK, so here is what is probably my last update on the ongoing saga that I have posted about before. Jan 6th I did indeed visit Trophy Shippers booth at the DSC expo. I had a visit with Mr. Alan Zarach about the fact that Trophy Shippers had promised to look into the high storage fees and had...

    Shipping taxidermy who to use?

    Here is my experience on this, pretty limited as it was first and so far only time having taxidermy shipped back the the USA. In August taxidermy was finished and crated and the taxidermist worked with Badger Cargo on shipping to the US. The communication from Badger Cargo was prompt and went...

    Trophy Shippers offline?

    I paid the fees and am enjoying having my trophies on the wall but if/when there is another trip things will be done differently. Not really sure what I will do next time, but it won't involve trophy shippers no matter what

    Trophy Shippers offline?

    My experience with Trophy Shippers runs much along the lines of most of the aforementioned stories, slow clearance and LOTS of storage fees, along with the not my fault excuses. I had trophies shipped by Badger Cargo and as far as I can tell that part went well. They arrived in San Francisco...

    Trophy shipping costs

    Ok, I am going to update this tread with the latest (or lack there of) news on this from earlier in this tread. As of today, Sept 29, after a couple of calls by me to my importer there has been nothing done. I am not sure where the blame lies here, but I feel at this time that the importer...
