    Taxidermists near DFW

    I live in DFW, gizmo has my Duiker. Alpine taxidermy seems to do well and they cleared my trophy shipment for me but lead time is long and price isn’t special

    Blaser R8 Owner in USA

    money was concern for me when i bought mine last year. I pieced it together and spread the pain out. Buy a stock when find good deal on one. Buy a barrel when one pops up, etc. I have yet to find a single deal on QD scope mounts though...

    Early stages of potential 1st safari

    we did our first hunt a couple years ago. We decided to use camp rifles and happy i did. Travel was easy and guide knew how to call for hold on distances since they were his rifles. Strongly consider a good camera purchase and leave without taxidermy. The cost is outrageous to me and i know i...

    Guns to US

    You have to come through our southern border if want easy access ;) I am surprised it’s hard to get a hunting rifle into the country. However with Canada's continued infringement on gun ownership it’s kind of funny to complain about the US making it hard

    Reasonably priced good US African Taxidermy

    I’m in ft worth and evaluated multiple taxis for my first Africa hunt. I’ve had a few other things mounted and mixed reviews on results (still hanging in my house). Gizmo happened to be in town when I reached out. No regrets so far and I’m certain will have good results

    Reasonably priced good US African Taxidermy

    I have a duiker at @gizmo now. All reviews were good otherwise wouldn’t halve a mount with him. Pricing was fair as well

    Is Blaser Trying To Price Themselves Out Of The American Market???

    I just bought my first blaser by pieces last year. I for one would appreciate a little better pricing but when I have a 30-06 and 375 in one small pelican going to Australia I’ll remember what makes it worth it

    Toyota tundra. I’d plan to keep it long term you can’t beat it. I drive a 23 Ram 2500 lease thats a work truck. We get a new one each year and every time I have bunches of recalls and weird tendencies/issues. It’s convinced me to not buy one myself. Also rides like complete garbage if aren’t...

    Savage 99

    I have my grandfathers 300 savage that has killed a couple deer, Texas sheep, and a pig with me. Planned to take to Africa but don’t reload and the last few boxes of core lokt I bought shot all over the place. I need to get it to someone to work up a load and see what’s up. Damn beautiful gun.

    Which species draws you back to Africa?

    Bushpig and a giant warthog. We spent 2 laaate nights after bush pigs and shot a couple warthogs but no walhangers. They are what make me want to go back. That will be combined with a buffalo hunt for sure though

    Hanging Euro mounts

    Looks great in the plaque. For some reason I just prefer the skull on drywall look. The fact the wife had me paint the kudu wall black plays a roll in this one also… a black wall in the dining room is a bold choice lol

    Hanging Euro mounts

    Finally got my skulls from Africa. Was planning to screw picture hangers into the skulls and epoxying but after picking up my Kudu I started to question what works for deer may not work. This lead to looking at the simple skull hookers as I prefer the look of skull floating bare on wall so can’t...

    Dip and pack finally complete, shipping question

    Have two warthog skulls, one warthog skin. There’s a breaking point where it’s not “worth” bringing the animals back if cost more then the original hunt. Rather eat the 3k already spent than spend another 8k. Hoping that’s not the case though
