I am going to get my girlfriend this https://www.blaser.de/en/products/firearms/bolt-action-rifle-r8/r8-sondermodelle/r8-ultimate-rose-en-black/

but surely south African airlines will be monitoring this thread and will immediately refund their customers from the government monies

I never spoke to the taxidermist. in previous years the PH dropped it off with them and then they would get in touch and agree everything in writing. I didn't receive anything until the invoice arrived. The $650 USD was for the skull mount only, no permit and no shipping. I also think that...

yes I definitely would have said at the time that I wanted a skull mount to my PH! it was the communication issue with the taxidermist I suppose and the fact that they didn't phone me before carrying out the work. I will probably just pay it because it seems everyone thinks its a reasonable price.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. The PH would have dropped it off with them and I just forgot about it as I was busy. I didn’t know who it was with or what the charges were until the large invoice landed. It’s definitely my animal. I never chased it as i am not bothered about trophies. sounds...

Hello all, I was in South Africa early last year and hunted a gemsbok. hunt was good and all was well. Then about a year later I received an invoice from a taxidermist asking for $650 for a skull mount. I hadn't agreed to any work, they said they emailed me but I must have missed the email or...

no. I value it much lower but they seem to want to use the taxidermy invoice. it just doesn't make sense to me.

who decides the value of a shipment of skull mounts? the shipping company is saying its the taxidermy invoice but that seems incorrect to me.

:E Eek:

great thread. makes me want to take a bow next time!

maybe lightly tanned sable???

i just like them.

Great pictures! but its one animal i could never hunt.

So tomorrow i get on the plane for my third trip to SA with Bushwack Safaris and i thought it might be a good time to finally write up my trip from last September! After going in 2014 after winning the Stalking Directory competition to hunt for the first time. i was warned that Africa is...

After a lot of nerves about getting my rifle overseas i now know that it is an extremely simple process and all the advice i had received was spot on, as once in heathrow it was a matter of presenting at the check in desk and the wheels being put in motion. Over in OR Tambo after waiting 2hrs to...

parents are to blame.

thank you for the warm welcome! will put up a thread on those hunts. the last one was only a week ago!

I registered a while ago as i was going on a hunt in south africa and wanted to read a bit more. i live in the uk and enjoy deer stalking having taken Roe, Red, CWD and Muntjac. i have hunted in south africa twice, being fortunate enough to have taken cape buffalo, blesbok, warthog and...
