The gemsbok cape I received from my 2016 hunt is not usable. After 7 months of no replies from the outfitter, I've hit my frustration level and just decided to find one myself. I've not had any luck here in western Pa. If anyone out there has any leads or advice on where I can purchase one I...

After 20 years of talking about it, my buddy and I are ready to head west on a spring bear hunt. We are trying for a pack in, or really remote area for spring 2019 bear. We are open to either state. We will both be rifle hunting spot and stalk. Having never been to either, any advice on...

I see a couple of these a year. These ones were about three years old. The owner was always unsatisfied with the way they sent them back. About a week later and I've got them about as clean as I can get them. Now I just wish all the African skulls I get in would come with all their teeth...

ok fellas, I'm in need of some assistance. I need to make a plaque for a Impala skull. Problem is, I'm fresh out of Impala skulls here in Western PA. Any chance one of you could measure the length and width of one for me?? It does not need to be super exact, As I add an inch or two...

I have a shield boxed up and ready to ship if anyone is interested. Unfortunately the order for this one had to be cancelled. Shield is approximately 77" tall, base around 26x 24. I'll take a few bucks off of this one to free up some space. Asking $250 plus shipping. To calculate...

In response to several inquiries, Here's another shield up for sale. This one was going to go to a local taxidermist, But I like it enough to offer it here first. Made from domestic hardwoods ( I'm still working on getting some imported African wood) shield is 77x17 1/4". Base is 24x25...

12 hours till the first leg of my trip. I'm headed back to SA again in pursuit of a kudu ( and a few others). I've got an overnight stay at the Africa Sky guest house then it's off to Kimberley to finish what I started last year. Won't actually get to hunt until Monday. I'll keep Yinz guys...

With only days remaining until CAustins big Leopard hunt, I thought it would be nice to write few words of encouragement, then I realized I can't write fancy words. So I'll just use Mr. Capsticks ..... The only quote that comes to mind when I think...

I took the same idea that I used for the coasters (which by the way thanks for all the orders, I've made enough to add a zebra on this years trip) and applied it to a hand mirror. I was trying to come up with a small gift idea for the outfitters wife. I remembered that she loved the giraffe...

just finished another round of skulls. I never thought the grizzly bear skulls would come clean. They were improperly de greased about ten years ago and came to me pure yellow and still full of meat inside the jaws. Just another way to help pay for my hunting habit.

I clean roughly 20-30 various skulls per year and usually make the plaque or pedestool to go with them. I got a call from a gentleman a while back that wanted a plaque to place his late fathers last buck on. Although I did not clean the skull I was happy to try something new. Just wanted to...

I have decided to take orders for those that wanted a set of the coasters I posted a while back. Below is a photo of the designs I have. I'll work on more if I get time. Each is 4" diameter 1/2" thick with the cork. Coasters are five dollars each and a stand for five dollars. Stand holds...

I wanted to make a small gift for my hosts on next years trip. Something they could use in their lodge, would fit in a suitcase and have an african theme. Still working on a stand for these coasters. I think I'll compliment this gift with a bottle of corn shine from the backwoods of good old...

please excuse my delay in posting my report. Let me just say my first trip to Africa was everything I had dreamed of. I hit the nail on the head with these outfitters. The best two guys I have ever found I outfitting, hands down. No detail was overlooked and the hospitality and comrodery...

In response to several inquiries about woodwork, yes, I do custom woodworking for taxidermy. The style Of finish that most are asking for is a distressed look that I have been developing for the last couple of years. I was looking for a finish that was unique, rustic and easy to hide...

With just a little over a month to go until my first bowhunting trip to Africa, here is what I'm stressing about. If you only had an opportunity to take one, which would it be a blue or black wildebeest? I know many would just say that will give you a reason to go back, but who knows how long...

What's your thoughts on carrying cash in South Africa? Should I convert to the rand or do most places accept US cash? Or am I better off with a credit card? The I'm not looking to carry around a ton of cash, just enough to do a little shopping. Which brings me to my next question, anyone...

Thank you all for the welcome and advice. I really appreciate the help. I'm sure I may have to call on it again as my trip approaches. I have reached out to safari specialties importers and to safari cargo.

Hello all. Something tells me I'm in the right place. I was told to come to this site to get advice about my upcoming trip to South Africa. My name is Jody, and I'm about to take a trip to Nitro safari in SA. This will be my first trip to Africa and I'll admit I have no idea what I signed up...
