Friends, in 2017 I came to this forum and asked for prayers for my wife as she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The amount of love and support was overwhelming to us, it truly touched our hearts. As my wife and I read the dozens of well wishes we sat and cried over the love complete...

Hey guys anyone here CBP agent of retired agent. Please PM me I have a question. Thank you JB

Hope everyone is staying safe and holding up well during this lousy period. I know lots of folks here have safaris planned, what’s everyone doing about their plans? I was booked to hunt with Marius next April but like millions of others my portfolio has taken a big hit. Gonna wait till 2022 to...

Well guys regardless of how things are it’s Christmas Day for a hunter. My leopard taxidermy has been delivered and I’m thrilled with everything. 8 month’s from field to trophy room. Now I think I’ll just sit back have a drink and reminisce.

What a great display idea. If you have a large wall!

My three trophies are ready for the pedestal.

Gents , I have the opportunity to purchase the above gun. Anyone have any experience with this combo? Don’t know much about the manufacturer other than on line reviews.

Just saw this.

Hey guys, my taxidermist has begun the mounting process for my leopard. He will be mounted on a free form base of rocks along with my dik dik. To my surprise he asked my permission to bring the mount and display it at the Great America Sportsman show in Harrisburg PA.

Hey guys toying around with booking a black bear hunt for next fall for here in the states. Any recommendations? Thanks. JB

Ok guys not sure if anyone started a thread like this previously but if you had only one country to choose as your dream place where would it be? Keeping in mind it can be anywhere in the world. For me I think it would have to be Mongolia for alti sheep and ibex. If this older body could make...

Hey guys just wanted to share my new CCW. Heckler &Koch PV9SK 9mm. Sweet piece for sure. Haven’t been at the range with it yet but hoping to get there on the next few days.

Hey guys, just wanted to give a shout out to King’s Taxidermy in northern Namibia. All of my trophies arrived in very good condition to the tanner I was informed yesterday. As we know this can be an issue so if anyone needs dip and pack in that area I would highly recommend them.

Deer season warning..lol

The zebra on the right is what my taxidermists calls wall art. So unique!

Funny..

Thought this might be a fun thread to start. I’ll apologize in advance if this has been done before.

Ya know I’ve been a member here for a few years now and I’m repeatedly reminded how many great folks are here. Not only do we root each other on when we’re hunting but also when personal tragedies occur or personal loss hits our lives members are right there offering support and advice. When I...

One has to wonder why things happen the way they do sometimes. While my wife and I are here in Georgia preparing for our move here next week we placed our two dogs in a kennel that we have used several times and as a matter of fact they are also breeders for English Springer Spaniels for which...

Hey guys, as most know the blues have moved south to Georgia well at least full time next week. We’re here now buying furniture getting cable set up etc etc etc. Trophy Transport dropped off my trophies the other day so the work began placing and hanging. Did the best I could with the space I...

Well my friends it's official, we just went to contract on our house here, so we will be departing the big apple for the peach state August 23 rd. Saturday Trophy Transport is picking up my trophies ( agh the anxiety ). We will fly down in early August to buy furniture etc and have my trophies...

Excitement starts by johnnyblues posted Apr 5, 2019 at 6:03 PM The excitement starts by johnnyblues posted Apr 5, 2019 at 6:02 PM Ok everyone, just trying to share my excitement here. I’m about 6 weeks out for my second attempt at leopard in Namibia. Baits are just being hung in an effort to...

Some years ago I shot an artic grizzly up in the Brooks range of Alaska. Back then I used a local taxidermist who really didn’t do “custom” work so to speak. Well many years later and a few really nice pedestal mounts later I decided to have the pedestal redone and with the years came some lip...

Gentleman, I’m going to have to resight my 270 WSM soon. My question is using a bipod at the range off a wooden bench any down side to that? Or am I better off just using bags? I’ve always wondered about that.

Ok guy's I'd like some opinions on bullet choice for my up coming leopard hunt. I am bringing my 300 WSM and most likely use 180 grain Nosler Partions in it as it groups very well with them and I also have the Barnes TTSX. I ve heard opinions that I should not use the Barnes as it is too fast...

Well as many of you here know I’ll be attempting a second go around at leopard in May of 2019 in Namibia. My PH is already trying to pump me up ( as if I really need it!) with some trail cam pictures of a cat he has on bait. Long time off of course but it’s always fun to see.

Hey guy’s, didn’t I hear about something new in regards to rifle permit import into Namibia? Going back in 19 already getting into the planning mode.

Hi guys, I know this may be a long shot because this PH mainly caters to European clients . Myself and Mike@livingthedream are planning to hunt in Benin in March of 2020. Anyone have any info on them or hunt with them?

A friend of mine stopped by today after his hunt in a Texas. He flew delta out of JFK, checked in his guns as usual. When he and another hunter retrieved their gun cases they noticed they were broken into. This is what they discovered.

My self and several other members are looking into hunting in B F. A terror attack occurred last night in the capitol city. Apparently the French Embassy was bombed. Significant casualties. Everyone be aware of this if your planning a hunt there or in Benin.

Hey guys myself and another member are looking into hunting in Burkina Faso in 2020. Has anyone hunted either there or Benin recently? I ask because one concern was Trophy import. I spoke with Rosella from SSI today, she said due to political turmoil their should wouldn’t handle anything from...

Any members here ever hunt water buffalo in Argentina? If so, what is the experience like? is it a hunt very similar to cape buffalo hunting, and if so any recommendations on an outfit with fair chase hunting. Would also like to include blackbuck and pig. Thanks

Hey guys, I would like opinions on my up coming taxidermy specifically on my buffalo. There’s a current thread entitled unusual buffalo mount here. I am definitely positioning my buff like the one pictured in the thread on the left side. “ hard left turn” on an open pedestal. I’ve asked @gizmo...

If anyone is bored with the TV as I sometimes am, and all the hunting shows are in reruns if your interested you can go to YouTube and type in Got the shot productions and look for KMG safaris John’s African adventure. That is my hunt I had videotaped this past August. The production company was...

If this thread is inappropriate let me apologize now. As a few of my friends here know my wife is going to have a very difficult surgery on December 15 th. Their kind words and prayers have been greatly appreciated, along with the great response and support I’ve had from my face book friends...

As the title states I ve decided to give my latest safari to Erik better known as @gizmo of Top of Texas taxidermy. It's not that he was the cheapest, he was actually competitive with one of our sponsors here. I m giving it to him because I believe he will put his heart and soul into it. If you...
