I've got a Caldwell Precision Chronograph, #720001, that I haven't used in a while. Just used it a couple of times, mainly to check arrow speed out of my bows, but I have used it for rifles as well. I'll do the same deal, $100, shipped to the lower 48. It works like new, nothing wrong with...

Thanks @mdwest for hosting the party. My daughter and I had a great time. We met some new friends and visited with some old friends as well. Much appreciated. dee

Just got home from the show, I will be picking up my daughter here shortly and be on the way. Probably a good thing I'll be out of the house tonight, first stop I made this morning was the Silencer Central booth. They 'forced me' to buy a suppressor. I swear, I was in fear of my life, I had...

My oldest daughter (29) and I would love to attend but it sounds like your house will be bursting at the seams already. We’re local, coming from the Rockwall area.

Just checking on the 2024 get together in Dallas.

Just curios, and this is one of those times it would apply. I know that many of the travel plans include a clause for extraction from an uprising or revolt type situation. If someone, one of your members, were to contact you today if they were in Israel and needed extraction, would you send a...

I'm in Texas, Dallas area now. I've used Trophy Shippers and will again for my two shipments currently in Africa. Speaking with Allan Zarach, the owner, they now have their own storage facility in Houston. With that, I will have Trophy Shippers get my stuff to Houston versus Dallas, but they...

I sent them in inquiry via their website. Looks like it is a ten hour drive once you land in Entebbe, unless you take a charter after that. Helps cut cost if more than one person goes. SO, when are we going to Uganda? :A Thumbs Up:

From my research, there is still some confusion on the exact number of subspecies for Plains zebra, but they all pretty much agree on the following. There are four Species of Zebra. Quagga – which is extinct. Grevy’s which is a standalone sub-species Non-Huntable Kenya and now in Texas...

I've known Strang for 7 or 8 years, but have never hunted with him. This will be my first trip to Zambia. My oldest daughter went to Zambia back in June and spent two weeks hanging out with Strang and his family. She had a great time. Regarding my experiences, I have a PH in Namibia that WILL...

From some brief "GOOGLE" searches, most of the safaris in Uganda offer Burchell's. Which is quite common for people to call any zebra a Burchell's. From the picture galleries, I saw some Burchell's for sure, then one website had what may have been a Selous' that they had marked as a...

Will do, thanks.

In my opinion, they are the smartest, wariest animal that I have ever hunted with a bow. For me, they are the ultimate 'plains game' challenge. Sure, you can get lucky at a waterhole and have them just waltz in like it's the safest place in the world and get a 30 yard shot, but more often than...

Money is number 1 reason. But honestly, I have not researched going there at all, so I'm actually clueless on what it would cost for a hunt there. You've inspired me to at least take a look at the actual cost.

Thanks PeteG, I appreciate the input. Maybe Strang can make something happen, he has a lot of connections. If it doesn't happen this trip, then I'll have a reason to return.

Oh, Uganda, yep, I won't be going there. I can go to my grave without a maneless then. ;)

Way ahead of you, I'll be with Strang for two weeks. He picks me up on the 15th. Once we get my buffalo down, we will turn our attention to Crawshay's. He only has Crawshay's and Burchell's. You can find Grant's, or Boehm's, in a few places in Zambia. Velario doesn't return to Zambia from...

Both, love to eat em, love to hunt them with a bow, and I'd love to take one of each. So far, two Hartmann's, two Burchell's, with some that say one of those is actually a Chapman's.

I know of one PH in Zambia that has Grant's Zebra, but he will be out of the country in August. I am curious who else may have them. I'll be near Livingstone at the end of August and I plan on taking a Crawshay's Zebra after the buffalo is in the salt. I'm thinking, while I'm there, maybe I...

Where was this advice six months ago..:A Thumbs Up: Seriously, that is good advice and it something I should have been doing months ago. We will find out soon enough....the Zambia hunt starts on the 16th....it is about to get real. :oops:

I understand the move due to the overhaul of Kay Bailey's place, but I don't understand the conference they want to hold in the summer. That is right in the middle of the hunting season for the Africa outfitters. It must be a watered down version? Maybe someone with insight can enlighten us...

I enjoy reading the stories of those with more experience than me, which is most everyone on this forum. I depart in two weeks for Africa and I'll be spending the last two weeks of August in Zambia attempting to bring down my first cape buffalo. Call me crazy, but I'll be using a bow, and we...

Train like you hunt, hunt like you train 30 days out, with fixed heads, nothing but broadheads going down range. I leave for Africa in a month, with that in mind, I will be switching to broadheads next week and I have five brand new cores for my broadhead target. I'll carry two bows, with...

He must have modified it so that the head is looking to the left, at a bit of angle, which is what I wanted. And mine has both of the nubs for the front legs. Regardless, I am happy with the end results.

I'm not sure on the form that he used? And I agree on the shoulder angle. When he sent me pictures, I wasn't sure. But now that it's on my wall and I can see it in person, I love it. He captured the pose that I wanted. Here are some more shots, taken with some sunlight coming into the room...

You are more than welcome to use it for yours. I hope it turns out as well as mine has.

I dropped them off with the taxidermists sometime in January? And Brendon is from South Africa where he worked as a taxidermists there, and he pretty much specializes in African animals. He's done all of my mounts thus far. This picture is of my Duiker from 2019 (Namibia) and by Steenbok...

My kudu mount is finished and hanging in the living room. Brendon and his team at Safaris Life Taxidermy in San Antonio did an amazing job. I gave them a short video clip with two screen shots from that video. I told them 'the look' I was going for is at the five second mark in the video...

Had to go with Buffalo and zebra. Have taken two Hartmann's, two Burchell's, and going after a Crawshay's next. Hope to get the Crawshay's on the same trip as the buffalo in August.

I've been through there numerous times, so the getting in and out I'm familiar with. I've never had a problem with the bow case at JNB or Kimberley, often times it comes out in the oversize luggage area and I grab it and go. I was just trying not to haul it on two more flights than I had to...

Just curious if anyone has had to store their luggage at JNB for a couple of days? When I go over in August, I will be in Natal for the first week, then I was heading to Zambia. Now, I got an offer to come back to the Northern Cape to visit some friends there for three days. I am trying to...

Those are some great animals. One of those oryx looks like a really old bull. I like it! ;)

Allan, I'll be in touch my friend. August is almost upon us.

The only airline to ever charge me for our double SKB cases was United from Houston to Chicago. The flight was booked through Ethiopian Air and there was not supposed to be a charge for the United leg, but the lady with United taking our luggage in Houston charged us anyway. Lesson learned, if...

I noticed that they were missing from DSC in 2022 and asked around as to their whereabouts. I was told that they lost their concessions? I always enjoyed talking to Mark, a genuinely nice man to visit with.

In August I hope to take down a Crawshay's zebra in Zambia and then have some on the fire afterwards. Have had Hartmann's and Burchell's so far.

My favorite animal to hunt and to eat when I'm over there. But don't shoot or eat the one pictured in the article. Grevy's are not on the shoot list. Just FYI

Am I missing something? I do not see the African animals on the website? Still, very cool targets and thanks for posting the link.

My daughter was my plus 1 and we both had a great time. I wish I had gotten off my butt and mingled more so I could have met more of you than I did, but we were sitting with Allan from Trophy Shippers and he was keeping us entertained. He was also mentoring me on how to cook meat in my new...

Okay, I'm not too proud to say that I was wrong and I over reacted in my previous post regarding my shipment and how it was being handled by Trophy Shipping. What can I say, toss a dead crow on my plate and I'll eat it. I hate to be one of those "keyboard warriors" that sits behind their...

I've stayed there 4 times. On one trip, I attempted to book with one of the two most bragged about places to stay while on your layover, only to land and be told due to power outages, we'd be staying at the airport lodge instead. Since then, I just always book there. You can use a third party...

I went to DFW this morning to pick up my two crates and the drama continued. First words out of the lady's mouth when she pulled up my information on her computer. "You owe $2800 in storage fees." I called John and Trophy Shippers. He got her number and called her directly. Ten minutes...

Thanks for the information. Like I said, this is something I will be researching more. Live and learn

An update on my situation. Let's just say that Friday was a busy day with emails and phone calls. I won't bore you with the details, suffice it to say no one seems to know what the hold up was on the paperwork or why it happened. FWS is the likely culprit for dragging their feet? Bottom line...

I have not just yet, been a crazy morning. My taxidermist, who is from South Africa is going to call them today so they can speak the same language and be no miscommunication.

TS has sent an email to Badger Cargo regarding the screw up on the paperwork. But bottom line, TS failed to follow up on my crate sitting in Dallas for this long. They should have been aware of this problem on day 5 or 6, not day 13 when I sent another email asking about the status. The...
