    Shield for European mounts

    I’d like to get a shield like the photo below to mount a European kudu and two impalas on. Does anyone know of someone in the states who makes these?

    Saving on shipping costs

    Does anyone have any suggestions for this? My trophies will be shipped in the not too distant future and I’d like to make sure I’m not getting gouged. They will be coming from the eastern cape, it shouldn’t be too large of a crate as they are all euro mounts and a couple of skins.

    Ticks in Eastern Cape

    I’m headed to the eastern cape in April of this year, wondering how bad ticks might be and what you take to deal with them.

    South Africa books

    I'll be headed that way in the spring and would love to read a good book or two about the country, history, bushman or anything else that may be of interest. Doesn't have to be hunted related but it could.

    Taxidermy with bushman paintings

    Now that I've got my trip booked with @Game 4 Africa Safaris in April 2018 I'm thinking about taxidermy a little bit. I've seen some cool photos of mounts using shields, spears and the continent of Africa but haven't seen any that incorporate bushman paintings. I think it's a cool part of...

    Favorite surprise animal to hunt

    Just curious if anyone had any animals on their safaris that they might not have planned to have hunted for but ended up doing so and really enjoyed it. If so what was the species and why?

    Africa with kids

    For those who have taken your family to Africa on safari what age do you consider a good age to take? And how young is too young? I'm debating a trip but my youngest will be almost six when I'm thinking of going. Oldest will be 14, I'm thinking this is a good age range but wanted to hear from...

    Hunting prices 2018 v. 2019

    I've started to plan a trip to South Africa for either 2018 or 2019. Given the current state of the economy do you think waiting another year will impact prices one way or another? I'd love to go in 18 but part of me thinks about waiting another year to save more money for the trip to allow...

    WANTED: Looking To Book A Plains Game Hunting Safari

    I'm sure this question has been asked more than a few times on here but I'm starting my research and have a little twist on the question. I'd love to come to Africa and do a safari, I am primarily interested in a Kudu and Impala. Anything else is the cherry on top. Primarily looking at South...
