I have been on two safaris and when things are done I have had this thought. The first one I was hunting with a bow and my main animal was a kudu. We looked at a bunch of them for three days and my PH said that they had to be at least have tops that are pointing in. Finally one came in and he...

Wow looks great, great Kudu do you have any measurement. Great idea to just have them sent. I am sitting at seven months and I am not having any shoulder mounts done. Great start of a great man cave:)

I thought of this thread a while back and the conversation. I saw this when I looked at AH this morning and thought here is a case of some one selling black Impala for hunting IE only selling Rams since they just need their ram and the females making the new Rams expendable? Am I correct in my...

bluey either they have just shared a meal about to scrap or fornicate did they hang around long , or go their separate ways most reptile are happy in each others company After taking a couple pictures we gave them a wide berth and continued hunting. They were still there when I looked back...

Glad to see the comments about the Lizard. My PH and I were walking through some trees and I front of us were these two at first we thought it was a fight but didn't think they were aggressive took the camera and got the pictures. The bigger one was at least 6 feet long. Can anyone tell what...

I did the trip from Denver through Atlanta and used personal locks that were both keyed the same. TSA in Denver with me there opened the case put Delta's form in the case locked it back up and it was checked through to SA. No problems just have your keys on you so you can open it when you need...

Hi James Another question. 'Eg. You as Agent has an arrangement with an Outfitter to sell hunts on his behalf... You trust the Outfitter to deliver on his services / promises and take money from clients for a hunt - which you pay over to the Outfitter ... But it turns out later that he doesn't...

Wow thanks for the honor! It is great to get to be one of the final nine BHFS300

Your welcome:). Ha Ha

I look at Cabelas gun library a lot. There are a bunch of Ruger #1's in 375 and bigger but in 300 they have only have four none of them H&H. Check them out at: http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/search.cmd?form_state=searchForm&N=0&Ntk=GunLibrary&Ntt=Ruger+1+300&x=0&y=0

I took my Ruger #1 in 300WM last Sepember and used Barnes in 180 grain. Shot six shots an killed five animals. Only needed to shot my warthog twice since my PH was concerned that there were holes in the area that he might go down and we could loose him. Almost no tracking required in any of...

I have been thinking of this also I have a back skin coming in the near future. I found this just looking for blaserman on the internet not sure if it is the same person?

Hi Jasper99 They are by Outdoor Research or OR here is a picture of one still had burr in it. They are called Sparkplug Gaiters

I did ware long pants all but the first day since I had legs that were scratch up from the thorns. I think you still want them to stop things from getting into your shoes. I wore low cut sock with thin socks to get two layers had no problems with them the whole time and it was starting to get hot.

I was there last September and didn't want to buy new ankle cut boots since I hunt in tall boot so I wore low cut waterproof hiking shoes. I got the gaiters that go with running shoes hook to laces and back of shoe. I used them for eight days of a lot of walking and had no problems. They cost...

The last hunt I was on said they would take a card for the amount above the deposit. When I was doing the end of the hunt payment. He asked how much I wanted to add for the tips to the people I was involved with. I said I had brought cash to do that. I would rather hand the people that I work...

Hi Here is my Impala. It was a great hunt. Headed out in the morning on foot and my PH was in the phone to the owner of my hunt and I made a couple coughs and he looked up and several ewes Impalas were crossing the trail ahead of us. He set up the sticks and said there was a ram behind them...

I was in SA about 4 months ago and spent some time seeing these genetic hybrid animals in person. I was enjoying this thread. I don't understand it good enough to give an idea but I did just see this on one of the price lists so it looks like it isn't all just breeding some people most think...

I would agree with Brickburn. I used mine to get my 300 WM on at 200 yards but then shoot shots without it since it is kind of hard to get behind the rifle when it is on the rest. I use mine without weights so don't see a problem with stock ever happening. Great for getting it dead on

The Nyala was the reason I went on my last Safari and I can only wish mine was this good, but mine was in the salt by the time I took this picture. This Nyala is printed on canvas and is on the wall in my man cave to look at till my trophy makes it to the cave. Tom:)

Hi check this out if you want to email me reply back SOUTH AFRICA: Back in the US after 8 days of hunting in SA Tom

The bad thing is the video on U Tube this video has been watched 66,000 times. I question is the one they shot with the 375 the same one that they shot with the bow? The horns don't even look the same?

It looks like a person visiting Iceland needs a form from the police there before they can bring it in for something like hunting the same as South Africa. But you as being a citizen of the country would have a different set of rules? You should check with the local customs/police. How many...

Like your Ruger #1 Stainless in 300 WM I used the same thing for my last Safari but not Stainless

My wife says the Delta flight 200 in May still leaves at 7:30. Since she is a flight att I didn't have to worry about the cost. Flew business class the first time.:)

My wife is a flight att and she says the latest flight to there in May leaves 7:55 PM it is South African airlines and there are 7 fights a day to PE

HI I have flown from Denver to Johannesburg twice and you can do it all on Delta. The flight from Atlanta leaves around 7:00 to 8:00 PM each day. you would just have to fly to Atlanta earlier in the day. I checked my Gun and ammo bag in Denver and got it in SA. I didn't have to do anything...

Thanks Johny but with this mess I have decided to have any work done here in the states for future trophies. I just wanted ideas on what I could do for the one that Nylstroom Taxidermy messed up. Tom

Thanks Enysse Is it fixable or is it just going to keep flicking off? Is that whole smooth section the same thing? Tom

Well I have had my trophies back for a little over a year from Nylstroom Taxidermy. I never got any comments from Paul a year ago when I wanted some kind of help with what to do with these ears that were as flat as a plate on the front. The Kudu has been on the wall for all this time and I was...

Wow looking good! My Nyala has been sitting in SA for 70 days and I hope it looks as good as this when Dennis gets done with it. What does the end of the pedistel look like? Tom They cut the cape extra long to make sure there is enough hide.

Good shopping:)

I have a question my number one goal for my hunt last September was a trophy Nyala. I was going to take a tape with me but my PH didn't have one then we didn't get it measured later? Here are two pictures of my trophy. Without a measurement would you say it is an average trophy. It was only...

I did a little bit of both here is a Skull Hooker and a plaque I made out of Wenge hard wood from Africa. I wanted to show off the arrows and the Blue Wildebeest it made Archery Gold SCI. I am getting two more skulls an Impala and a Red Hardebeest from this September and I already have the...
