Congratulations on your hunt!!!

I am headed over May 20, 2023. I shot last weekend with a browning a bolt 375 H and H. on the range I shot 250 grain bullets at 125 and 300 yards. I have a simplistic VX 2 3x9x40 with only crosshairs. the rifle shot 8 of 8 at 300 yards on 4 inch gongs with no holdover type system. For me...

Congratulations!!!

HUNTROMANIA

Sorry for your troubles. Unfortunately you are not alone in less than stellar taxidermy on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean!

thank you very much!!!

perfect--thank you!!

Global Entry Trusted Traveler Program Enrollment Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Members enter the United States through automatic kiosks at select...

all the downloadable versions I am finding have the signature area marked out with a big x--Can we no longer have them filled out before we get there at CBP, or I am doing something wrong on this side?

A prescribed burn in a pine forest takes me back to the work my father did in forestry. A mopane wood fire reminds me of the campfires shared in Africa. freshly plowed fields take me to spring time!!

I received my shipment with two cape buff, eland, and a few other things. Large crates(2) large expense with mounted with pedestals—paper work was slow clearing items in South Africa, when they cleared paper work, they shipped within 10 days on Turkish air thru Istanbul and then to atl...

What’s your weapon of choice for the night hunting? I am going to hunt in late May and plan to do some of the smaller ones on your list. Still debating what rifle I am going to take for that!

My leopard was taken with 180 grain nosler partition with 30-06.

I have a Pelican 1750 that has served me well over 5 trips to RSA and Namibia and quite a few trips in the States. It handles two rifles and accessories quite nicely. I cannot speak to the ghost ring. Love the lefty you have!!!

Great job Erik!!

Of your two choices Verde--I've worn the t shirts and merino wool blend shirts on 5 trips over to RSA and Namibia. I wore Valo in Namibia. Like Para45, I wore pants and they did fine in Namibia and I layered in the morning with Kuiu and a cheap fleece jacket on top. I would not take my puffy...

Damara Dik Dik.

CRIES of the Savanna

My three daughters like the fit of the She Safari line...it has been durable so far 18 months in hunting in South Carolina.

He is awesome Erik!

I shipped leopard from Namibia in June 2022. I used yellow shark for shipping and handling in Namibia. If my memory is correct I had leopard, full skin and skull, dik dik full skin and skull, most of the skin of a zebra, and a skull and skin of a spring bok. The airfare portion was under 1000...

“Take what the b(r)ush gives you!” Congrats on your success!!

Army duffel bag…they were playing soccer when we arrived with a ball made of paper and duct tape.

If you go to local high schools they often will donate used soccer balls. We took 12 to a school in Limpopo. We fed 300 kids with beef stew from my children’s hunting Tooth brushes and soccer balls were well received. But I took 300 pairs of wool socks—I think they would have fought each...

300 grain Swift A frames and 300 Grain Woodleigh Hydro have near same point of impact in my 375 H and H. Cape buffalo, eland, Sable, impala, Damara Dik Dik (perhaps a little too much for the later)..

that is really awesome Erik!

I really don’t mind the snarky comments. the original post said “I am a new hunter…”. Because of that question I responded the way that I did. Having taken a less than perfect shot on a leopard and following up on him, I’m fully aware of hunting situations that result in less than ideal...

In my humble opinion, study of the anatomy, accurate shooting, caliber choices, and a quality bullet all play in to the toughness argument. A poor shot at poor angles often results in wouda, shoulda, couda problems. My best shot compared to my worst shot have not been based on the animal but me...

I am wrong handed right brained…having been hit with shell casing from a browning bar, watching shotgun shells fly by my right eye with Remington 1100, I decided left hand left hand bolt and shotguns were the way to go. Nothing wrong learning to shoot a right hand bold left handed. But if you...

Fantastic mount Erik!

Cool mount Erik!!

I enjoyed that very much! Congratulations on your adventure!!

Lowcountry of South Carolina is supposed to be 17F with a windchill of 5 degrees F on Christmas Eve. High temp is expected to be 33F. Cold for the boys in the South.

Fantastic! Congratulations Tom!!

Welcome! I enjoyed the podcast you did with Big Game Hunting (I think) as you spoke about the book and your experiences!!

Great work Erik!

I have a mountain (Hartmans) zebra from Namibia that is at Kanati for taxidermy. I shot it in Nov 2021 and it arrived in October 2022. These are indeed importable.

Press on brother. May the Lord bless you and keep you…

I removed my ammo box from my bag and wasn’t charged extra for the ammo. Rifle case was second piece of luggage and I paid the same rifle carriage fee. That was May 2022.

Two experiences that I have had on trips to South Africa. 2012 one of the guys in our group had a piece of fired brass in his jacket. They wanted him to stay for awhile but he played it cool like the OP did and walked away. Last summer, as I was boarding to fly to RSA, my son put a jacket in...

In my experience, I have driven to Atlanta three times to retrieve from Coppersmith. Very simple process once cleared.

Awesome start to the day!!

Really nice! Congratulations!!

I have a hard metal roof on my 1000xp with rear facing lights and side facing lights I placed a heavy duty bumper with back up Lights and a rear winch In the south we tend to have a bit more mud issues.

I run silencerco harvesters on my hunting rifles--my 7mmRem Mag gets below 130 decibels but for me, the difference is that there are external baffles on the suppressor which reduces felt recoil. My three daughters shoot the 7mag with no ear protection and no aversion to recoil--they all weigh...

Prayers for your family! Celebrate a life well lived!!!

I enjoyed your first safari story. Having dealt with cancer in a parent, prayers for your family! Congratulations on your first safari. And I share the same projected message to the suitors of my daughters!!!

I would use them again without hesitation.

thanks for sharing! fantastic experience!
