As the title says, show me your mounts. Trying to decide on how to get mine done. Thank you

My Red HB cape didn't survive tanning, and now I am in need of one. Let me know if you have a wet tanned cape ready to go. Any pics of face and ears would be great as well. As far as a price, let me know what you think is fair. Also, location, as that will determine how much shipping would be...

Hello fellow AH'ers. I've made it to another milestone post so thought I'd make my first poll question to go with it. Been on AH almost 14 years now, and have learned so much and made quite a few great connections over the years. I've met quite a few of you as well over the years in Dallas or on...

Less than 6 months after leaving Uganda, my crate arrived! They are are better than I even remember! Stoked to have been able to hunt there and take some incredible game! Thanks again @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS !!

Uganda had been a wish list hunt for me but one I never thought would be reality. Well, it became reality thanks to Jacques @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS. I have hunted with @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS 4 times now, each one has always lived up to and exceeded expectations! The hunt was supposed to take place...

Well folks, my long awaited and much anticipated hunt with my friend @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS had to be postponed at the last minute. This was my choice to do so, after a lot of thought and weighing the pros and cons of still going, I decided to cancel due to the Ebola outbreak spreading its way...

I was in South Africa in Early June with Jacques and friends @whitetail , and Chris Esterhuizen of Jongosi Media Productions-our cameraman for the hunt. The area and province will remain anonymous for the safety of both the landowner and the rhinos. The 2 of us were both doing a rhino vitadart...

Has anyone flown and returned on Delta to Joburg recently? Just curious on if once your in the air they announce no masks required until disembarking in Joburg, or better yet no masks at all until Joburg. I've heard United is doing this, so crossing my fingers Delta is the same. Thanks in...

As the title states, anyone hunted with George Dumitru recently? We were supposed to go in 2020, but thanks to shutdowns/lock downs/flights cancelled, it has been postponed for 2 years. The outfitter has been hard to get in touch with recently, and wanting to see if anyone else on here has...

The crate from my TZ hunt with @GAME Trackers AFRICA has arrived 5 months after I left TZ! I recieved the crate earlier in the week and did the unboxing today, which happens to be my 43rd trip around the sun! The drop on the buff looks better than I remember!

Hello, Do any of you have excess 416 Rigby factory ammo and possibly willing to part with 1 or 2 boxes? Mainly looking for solids but softs not out of the question. Feel free to pm or comment in the thread thanks!

As the title says, does anyone have one? I am looking at the 1x6x24 option for a .416. I am a leupold guy thorugh and thorugh, but a friend told me to take a look at this line also. There is a discount this month for the meopta which makes the price quite attractive.

Thank gosh! https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-lifting-omicron-covid-travel-ban-southern-african-countries

I am not a reloader but have saved rounds over the years, going through the closet and figured someone out there would need these. *Winchester Supreme 150 grain ballistic silver tip .270WSM : 38 once fired and 6 factory rounds - $50 shipped *Hornady 150 grain .30-06 : 40 once fired - $30...

I have been back one week now and still can't believe I was in Tanzania and actually hunted in 2 of the most famed areas to boot. As I look back I just cant believe that 2-3 weeks ago I was in the Selous Game Reserve, and 10 days ago I was in Massailand. This journey started at DSC 2019 when...

Nice coasters from @Jody, my sable I decided to finally have mounted from a few years back, and a really cool piece of art by Banovich

I've been back for a few days now, trying to catch up on rest and a pile of work! I'll get started with the report but this may take a few days. After a few tries to get to the Cape during the covid utter nonsense, we finally made it. This was originally scheduled August 2020 as part of a group...

With all the travel caveats in place, the last hoop to jump through was to get a PCR test in order to fly this week to South Africa. After a restless night, my results came in this morning (PCR Negative)! I can breathe and make my final preparations for my flight this Friday. I will be hunting...

Well here I am, 10 years after joining the forum looking for my first safari to Africa, now 10,000 posts in! This year my plans are a trip to the Eastern Cape with Marius @KMG Hunting Safaris in early May. This trip was planned for 2020 but was delayed due to covid. We will be after cape kudu...

As the question states, I would like to know if anyone has flown this airline in recent weeks or has scheduled flights in the coming weeks/months? I am hesitant to book with them as they are part of SAA, but they do have a route and time that really suites me coming up that the other choices do...

I know I have read a few posts over the years about the long layover in Abu Dhabi and the option to stay in an airport hotel. For those of you who have done this and have had the 9-13 hour layovers, what hotel did you stay at(inside the airport or just outside)? I guess for me I would prefer...

Hello AH, Has anyone hunted in the Selous in the past few years? if so, what block(s)? Considering a hunt there and want some firsthand accounts. Feel free to PM or reply here on the thread, thank you!

Well folks, sorry for the delay in getting this report started, been a little hectic since I've been back. I returned 2 weeks ago now from Zimbabwe, hunted Sept 24-Oct 3 on Lake Kariba. This hunt was with Jacques Spamer @JKO Hunting Safaris in conjunction with Jimba Safaris. This hunt originated...

I have decided to euro mount most of my trophies from the past few years instead of shoulder mounting them. These are all specific to these 2 countries. For the most part I do not know what to ask for these, all are in the dried/salted state from D/P with exception of the Livingston Eland, which...

I have been getting few done at a time in recent years, and now all but caught up with exception of a few more that will be mounted (Sable and Kudu). These range from NZ (2015), SA (2016), Zim (2017), Zam (2018). Now I just need more room:whistle: Its a good thing I have stopped mounting...

Well folks, I'm heading back over for another safari in a little more than 1 week and excited! I am blessed to be able to take the time it requires off of work to do trips like this! I am also blessed that this will be my 7th trip to the African continent, the 6th for hunting!! I have been to...

I am considering using a cartridge carrier for .375 on my upcoming hunt, and want a few suggestions. I have done some searching to see whats out there. I am not a "fancy" guy and don't need top of the line type stuff, however I do understand good quality leather products are probably a wiser...

Figured why not make a post about an upcoming hunt and tie it in to #7777 I'll be leaving from Zimbabwe in about 1 month, and very excited to see a new area in the northern part of the country! This is more of a take what Africa gives you hunt with a few exceptions... hoping for hyeana, and...

I have a Gemsbok backskin for sale. Its tanned and ready for display. Measurements are 60' wide from back leg to back leg and 27' tall not counting tail. With tail its 45' $90 shipped

I have decided I dont have the room and would like to put some money back to the next hunt instead of shoulder mounting my Livingston Eland. The cape is tanned and ready to mount. Here is the pic of eland and the cape laid out. He was taken in Zimbabwe. Measurements are: A: 12.5 B: 37 C: 45 D...

This place has been a great resource for me over the years for all things Africa! I have spoken with quite a few of you on the phone and been able to meet quite a few more in person at the past 2 DSC AH dinners. I appreciate the opportunity to be a member here and be able to post as well as...

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Enjoy your day with family and friends! All don't forget to laugh at yourself and others and not take things to seriously(y)

Up for grabs is a Tikka T3 Lite in SS/Synthetic in ,270 wsm. This is a nice shooting rifle, probably have about 60-80 rounds through it total. The entire package will include the rifle, rings/bases, the Vortex Diamondback scope pictured, sling, after market slip on recoil pad, and 3 boxes of...

Finally catching up somewhat on work and getting to start this report! This will be in a few segments as I am still processing pics and going through my journal. Well, Zambia and the Luangwa Valley was certainly a bucket list item for me, so I was really excited for many months leading up to...

I didn't take a lot of pics on this one, but my crate is home from my May 2017 Zimbabwe hunt. Most likely going to shoulder kudu, probably eland also. Impala skull will be a euro, zebra rug turned out pretty good! The buff pictured is from my previous SA hunt. I sure am glad I took that wonky...

I have decided to forgo mounting some of my recent trophies, and wanted to offer the capes up on AH first. If anyone needs one or knows of someone who does, let me know. No idea on prices, haven't researched that part, but we can work on it if interested. I don't have any pics, just took them...

2 years after my buffalo hunt, and adding another hunt into the mix in October 2016, the crate is finally home in NC via Turkey!! A few misunderstandings and leaving a few things out of the crate, it was repacked with all appropriate permits and paperwork and finally on its way. I'll post a few...

Just went and picked up my rifle that I got from @matt85 , it looks good and as described! Cant wait to take it to the range!

Up for sale is this Talkeetna in .375 H&H. Purchased brand new in late 2015, has between 50-60 rounds through it. Carbon fiber/Kevlar stock with SS barrel. 4 round magazine capacity, Mauser claw extractor, 3 position Model 70-type wing safety. I have the original box as well. Asking...

My brain is scrambled, need help from you knowledgeable riflemen out there. First of all, does anyone have these caliber(s) from any of these manufacturers? I've been looking at the 6.5x55 Swede recently, as well as kicking around the idea of the other 2 calibers. The main purpose of the...

I came across this site in a search today. Has anyone ever used this before to book your flights? I've uses the pricelines, orbitz, expedias before. Always a little leary when coming across one I have not heard of (their site says been in business since 1990 though) Thanks for the feedback if...

After about 8 months of dreaming, speaking with numerous outfitters from 3 countries over the phone, through email, and in person a decision has been made! A fellow Tarheel and I will be going to Zambia in July to pursue buffalo, hippo, croc, and a variety of plains game with Strang Middleton...

Looking at Zambia as an option this year, one of the better choices of flights during my days I'm looking for with both flight duration and money is JFK-Lusaka via Dubai. The one concern I have is the 90 minute connection time in Dubai while traveling with guns. All you guys who have gone...

I cant believe this is post #5000 already! This is the only headline I could think of for this post. It has been a privilege to be part of this community on this website! I have learned so much and gained valuable knowledge and information from so many seasoned hunters and good men and women in...

I was able to visit Cabo with some family members a few weeks back! Beautiful place, it was my seconbd time there. However September is hurricane and rainy season there, so some plans got changed. There was a tropical storm off the coast for the first 3 days we ere there making for some serious...

Fellow members, With the amount of different travel cases out there, someone is bound to have on like this or very similar. Kimber gave this to me when I purchased my Talkeetna a few years back due to some minor issues with the recoil pad . It looks similar to a Pelican, but I can only look at...
