Been looking for a nice lefty for quite awhile and finally found one. Got it just in time to mount the VX3 1.5-5 illuminated duplex for my upcoming saskatchewan bear hunt. Should be fun running a 400gr partition through a bear. 1st shot out of it. Lucky or good? Lol.

Why can’t I find a 1/2 mount form anywhere? Only shoulder and full body forms. I can’t see paying 1k for a full body form just to cut it in half. Anyone know where to order one ?
Roy
Yes sir. Full body mount of the steenbok, 1/2 mount Nyala, flat skin of porcupine (like a beaver circle for high up on the wall), euro of the warthog, and shoulder mount of the rest. Just doing pack/dip and my guy here at home is doing the work.

I’ll share a few pics of the lodges we stayed at. Eugene uses 2 lodges as base camps for moving around. 2 different styles but both beautiful. I’ve already booked again for 2025! Can’t wait! Anyone want to go??? Lol
First lodge!
Day 8…. Last and final day!
Told Eugene let’s go after that big fallow we spotted in the mountains the other day. He said we can definitely try. He said there isn’t many but the rut was over and he should be in the same area recuperating from a hard rut. We got to the area and spotted a...
Day 7 evening…..
Got the w warthog pics taken, loaded up and back to the cold room. Went to look for zebra! Let me tell u these things are crazy. For those that think they are an east trophy think again. I’m 100% serious to tell u that if they see or even hear the truck they bail and don’t...
Day 7 decided to go get for zebra and maybe run across a warthog. Where we were going had a good amount of them. Eugene said they see lots but been a long time since they seen any real giants. I told him it wasn’t a property but if we seen a big one I’d definitely try! After getting to the top...
Day 6…..
Lots of animals seen but no killing for me! Of course 2 more big kudu bulls spotted. Still no bushbuck. Really wanted the spiral slam. We did spot a big fallow and told Eugene that may be a back up if we can’t find a bushbuck. I big fallow in the mountains would be awesome as well.
Day 5…..
Back for Nyala, warthog and whatever else we see. We ended up seeing a giant warthog about a mile away through the spotting scope. No way to get to it without spooking other game between us. Seen of course more kudu, some Nyala cows and a big bull but couldn’t find him after looking...
Day 4…..
We went after Nyala and bushbuck. We seen about 5 Nyala bulls and 3 cows. 1 pretty good one but passed. Seen a few kudu cows and 1 big kudu bull as well. Not much activity after that for me. Was very hot and windy. Decided to do a night hunt and see what we could get into. Took the 22...
Day 3…..
Off to look for kudu again. While at dinner the night before Eugene got a call from a sheep farmer telling him his son and came hands kept seeing a bull come down out of the mountains and jump the fence into his sheep pasture and was eating his sheep pellets. Then go back up into the...
U don’t realize the sheer size of a waterbuck bull. Damn they r huge! As big as a mature kudu bull. Here he is beside the kudu my buddy shot. He is here on the forum as well. He will post his own write up with pics.
Day 2. Off looking for kudu. We went to a huge concession at the base of the mountains. We got up once again on a ridge to look over a giant valley. We spotted 2 good bulls. We also seen some cows and small bulls over the huge valleys. The bigger bulls seemed to be just searching for cows. They...
After a photo session and load up Back to the lodge for lunch we went. Food and accommodations were phenomenal. We headed back out to see what else we could find. He said this property had some exceptional Impala and asked if we wanted to see if we could find one I liked. I told him if it was...
After a photo session and watching how they load these big animals(which is amazing) we decided to get back up to the high point and glass some more. We got up top and within minutes spotted 1 lone gemsbok on the next ridge around a mile away. He believed it was a bull through the spotting scope...
Well I just got home from my first trip to Africa. I hunted with Eugene Erasmus at Intaba Safaris In the Eastern Cape. Let me just say that Eugene and his crew went WAY above what I expected in all areas of the hunt. Bring the east cape some of the concessions were of course high fence but huge...
I may have jumped the gun fellas. I somehow ignored Derek. Just realized it now. That’s why his post to buy the scope was hidden. My apologies to him and the scope is still his if he wants it. Derek please message me and let me know if u still want it. My apologies!
Roy
Well no response from Derek and I see he removed his offer so I assume the scope is back up for sale. I will take the same offer of 300$ shipped for it.
Roy
Great read and pics. Kudu is awesome but man that hide on the BW is absolutely stunning!! Congrats on a great trip. I leave in 11 days for my first trip!

Buying this off of an older gentleman who said he bought it years ago and never shot it. Guy he got it off of said he put it in the HS precision stock but had no other info on it other than it was shot very very little and looks like brand new. Could this be a Remington custom shop rifle or a...
