    Stuck in Johannesburg

    You're already there . . do another hunt! . . . why "buy" a zebra rug when you can quite reasonably hunt your own? . . . there will be at least a few operators nearby that would love to fit you in on short notice . . . especially since it is still "low season" . . .

    The Gerenuk Africa’s Gawky Oddball

    Though the current annual quota is very low, they can also be hunted in Ethiopia. SCI calls the Ethiopian subspecies "Northern Gerenuk" (though they are pretty much the same animal as found in Kenya and Tanzania). My first in Ethiopia, self-guided . . And second . . . Interesting animal...

    Botswana Kudu Hunt

    I have just completed the hunt that Jaco offered at the start this thread. I'm a bit busy at the moment and writing comes painfully slow to me, but I will post a hunt report and some photos as soon as I can. But for those "balancing on the knife edge" it was a great hunt, and great experience...

    Rebuilding The Bosses On A Buffalo

    Unless they are of some "non-typical configuration" reedbuck and waterbuck horns will slip off the bone cores, which as previously stated allows for good clean-up & sterilization and no need for sealing around the horn bases when they are re-installed.

    Reminder About Paying/Settling Final Bill with USD Cash in Namibia

    This has been the case in most (if not all) of Africa for some years now. And not only the 100 dollar notes, the older version 50, and 20 dollar notes may also be refused. In Ethiopia the U.S. Embassy even issued an official letter to all the banks assuring them that the older version bank...

    Comment by 'Anbessa Gedai' in media 'Hunt Trophies East Africa 1928'

    The two waterbuck look exceptional, also all three hartebeest look VERY good. The two semi-circular tusks on the ground are warthog, not hippo, and are VERY GOOD. The five heads on the center/upper row are not impala, and I believe are lechwe, and perhaps the smaller heads kob. Which would...

    Can Eland forms be used interchangeably?

    As a “Law of Good Taxidermy”, the form should be customized to fit the individual skin. . . (and not the other way around). This applies even if the taxidermist is using the “correct” form by species for the skin. Since the Lord Derby & Livingstone are quite similar (not saying identical), a...
