From the homepage on this site, there is also a “hunting preparation timeline”of things to consider and deal with that you should review. Another valuable resource. The ph you will hunt with also might have a checklist of things to bring and things to leave home if you request it-

This is who I have used-based in California. Worth sending them an e mail to see if they ship to your taxidermist.

For some of these guys it’s not “just” a mule deer or elk or whatever. It’s the chance to rearrange the record book with your name at the top.

Antelope island also has bighorn sheep. It’s a very Special place, Rocky with some deep canyons and enough space for bison to flourish. I wonder what he ended up spending on incidentals-outfitters etc

Sounds like an email to nosler is in order. Were they blemished by any chance-possibly not washed clean of chemicals during the manufacture process?

I’ll bet he is He is 6’4”. Are you ever going to hunt where you will be wearing a warm coat?

Barnes has had a continuous and ongoing shortage of laborers. I looked into a job there at one point. Can’t speak for hornady but some companies supply ammunition for the military which precededs hunting ammunition. Hornadys more popular stuff has still been hard to find. . .

One thing to consider is in order to obtain a selection of species, multiple areas must be hunted. Vaal rhebok for example. So an outfitter/ph with multiple properties is not concerning, so long as the hunter is comfortable with the size of those properties. Most guys don’t want to hunt in...

Geoff Broom “A Life on Safari” mentions that PHC hunted under him at one point and mentions where he went to start off on his own. Forgive me for not looking it up and giving the reference

It is annoying when people don’t read the previous posts and just respond to the most recent ones. I’m currently looking through my Jeff Rann books for his stories-oh wait, there are NONE. No books, no stories. I loved him on tv decades ago but apparently he has no remaining stories. . . Good...

Monster nyala bull. Do you by chance have any pix of your kudu? Would love to see them

Welcome sir! Glad you found us, look forward to hearing more from you.

I’m 6’2 if I ever stand up straight. The sticks I like the best are Rudolph shooting sticks-my ph in South Africa introduced my to them and I have really loved them. They don’t reduce very well for use when sitting but my shorter stature kids can shoot off them pretty well. Wrap them in soft...

Probably the last trip of the year-one thick rainbow to eat and a bunch of cutthroats that we released. Beautiful fall evening.

Those pix belong on a magazine cover!

The wine barrels are very cool esp with the shelves built in-love the creativity!

A wonderful rifle! Thank you for posting the pic. Prime eating . . .

Welcome to the posting side-planning the hunt is part of the fun. Good luck getting onto your adventures!

In the Cabelas hunting chronicles book entitled “Two Hearts One Passion” on page 77 there is a brief paragraph- “Harry and I used to go to the Duck Inn, Peter Capstick’s bar in Maun. We’d get to putting a few drinks back and start talking about our last adventures. Well, some of the stories in...

:A Popcorn: :D Beer Bottle: More please!

Forgot about the altitude, you can see above tree line and one of the tallest mountains in Utah. Guys like me run out of breath just standing still! I know some of you are thinking this-7mm-08 for goat?! I would have gone bigger and did for my own. But she really couldn't have handled...

Thank you all for your kind comments. My daughters goat means more to me than my own goat that is mounted in the basement-and I didn't even get to be part of hers! I have heard the story from three of them now and the story is different from every one of them-from distances to shots fired to...

Three of us hunted the entire first week of October. Met with the biologist at least Once and the law enf. As well. Biologist said 80 percent loss on deer. They know this as 8 of every ten collared does died. The biol. said that each buck will cover 7 does. Currently in his unit there aren’t...

Para45-I know a place outside of Grahamstown, we should share a drink there sometime! I met my wife because I had done some taxidermy with her dad. She needed a date for a concert and he said-I know a guy you should call-yada yada yada we are four kids later!

I was not present on this hunt. She is in college and working and the first full day she and her husband could go was Halloween. So I stayed home with my other kids for the holiday while my father in law, nephew and son in law all went hunting. My nephew hunts this area for deer and knew the...

Taxidermist was Ben Nielson from Pleasant Grove, Utah. He works alone and surely a two year wait. The bane of being the best at what you do is not being able to keep up with the demand for your specific set of talents. Was responding to this part of your inquiry-

All wonderful trophies-congratulations on your success! Thank you for sharing especially the pictures

$600 expensive

I also ordered the garmin-thank you all for the heads up as I had not heard about it yet. My old chrony never was very good and the YouTube videos about the garmin were very convincing-price was a bit of a shock!

My favorite part is that the op gets on to tell about his success and then the rest of the post is how he SHOULD have done it or what he should have done it with. 35bore got it right

Proper old bull-congratulations, well done!

Thanks for the report-I appreciate the pictures and glad you made your dream come true

Wall pedestal on an afrca shaped plaque

Are there specific dates you are looking to fill or times of the year that are better than others?

GUS-watching baseball with his baseball, or tennis ball or whatever he can chase and play with. But his real love is snuggling with the family, if you are laying down, Gus is snuggling with you

Think of freebore as a noun and jump as a verb. Freebore is the place a bullet must jump through. Wether that is .2 thousandths of an inch or .25 matters BUT not when you are just beginning. They are hard to measure and there are much more important variables to tinker with and become...

smells like Hilarious to me!

That bolt knob is very cool!

Metallica one of my favorites-I will listen to them on Thursday!

A couple more she had never heard but now has loaded on her phone

While hunting with my teenage daughter we would listen to one of her albums and then One of mine. I’ve heard everything Taylor Swift ever sang now and I like it just fine. My daughter now likes Simon and Garfunkel, George Strait and Dropkick Murphys but we must’ve listened to the 1812 overture...

Am away hunting deer in my trailer which is old and tired 1994 I think. It only plays cassettes and there is still one in the “tape deck” so I am listening to zeppelin 3 for the 453rd ish time. Also have a collection of ducks unlimited and bugle magazines dating into early 2000. Sat in the...

That one should be a pic of a gun closet or reloading bench!

Had never heard of them either-sorry not to be able to add them to my list of resources

This is my second to oldest daughter. We have tried unsuccessfully to get her a deer for several years now. We have been thwarted by weather, other hunters and her very ambitious high school sports schedule-stupid soccer playoffs in October every year! Also her older sister shot a nice four...

You need to replace your base with a 20 moa Model and I would suggest upgrade your base AND rings. You don’t build a house on poor soil! There are options that aren’t rails but they do give you lots of versatility. I would start looking at midwayusa or similar and yes, get rid of those windage...
