Great report and congrats on some beautiful animals! Sounds like some nice people to hunt with.
@Scott CWO Thank you. They are definitely nice people to hunt with.
I always enjoyed your hunting reports so appreciate your kind words.

This nice hunting report takes me back to 2017 when I hunted with Hendrick and Trudie, then they were on a different Farm. During my five trips to Africa I have never felt so well taken care of and the hunt worked perfectly. Even the delivery of the trophies worked perfectly and took 5-6 months, no problems. I actually planned to visit them this year but unfortunately it won't happen due to personal reasons. I have also been in contact with "Faszination Jagdreisen" but I backed out due to the bad reviews. If you want to hunt in Namibia you can easily book yourself with the outfitter without going through an agent.
They are definitely great hosts, good to hear you also had a great time.
Faszination Jagdreisen worked out great for me. I confronted him with the bad reviews and he explained to me that it was one and the same group iirc. He sounded honest and understanding.
He gave me references and they checked out. Also he only asked a fraction of the money upfront so to ease my mind. I would not hesitate to use them again.
It is of no interest of me and I do not profit in anyway but if your that long in the business bad reviews are not an "if" but "when". Just want to leave that out here.
Update: the trophies arrived in Europe in May of this year. I'm getting regular updates via the portal of First Class Trophy. They handle everything from dip and pack, taxidermy to the transport to my door.
Last update this week was that my trophies are in the tanning stage. Possibly will take another three months before they are completed and ready to ship to my house. Hoping they will arrive just in time for Christmas.

Another update: got the email today, the taxidermy is finished, put in crates and ready to transported to my house. I expect them to arrive before Christmas. I'm stoked!
Still need to find a place for my duiker and Steenbok so will post later when I've decided where to hang them.
Very happy with First Class Trophy and their work and service. Top notch to work with!
My hunt was November 2024 and now they are are in the house.

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.
I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.
Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?
I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob
