Hey everyone, I’m looking at booking a whitetail hunt for my wife as an early retirement present for putting up with all my deployments and stuff that comes along with the military life. The hunt would have to be in 2025 or 2026 when we get back the the states. We talked about doing an elk...

Well as most people know Uncle Sam told me I to move to England. So after being here for a few months I finally organized a hunt about an hour from me for fallow deer. It was 2 days the first day we did over 5 miles and the second day we did over 3 miles on foot. This will be the first times...

Well yesterday I finally got to go pick up my trophies. I want to thank @TROPHY SHIPPERS for helping me out get them here. It was a long and frustrating 2 years but they are finally here and hung. Please excuse the mess as I took these late last night when I finally got them all hung.

So I got the notification that my trophies from 2 years ago have finally arrived in America. This being my first shipment from Africa I was wondering what to expect with the crate and if the taxidermy normally comes with hangers or something like the noose system for hanging? Or are they just...

So Uncle Sam decided where he was going to PCS me. Ill be moving from Alaska to Dover DE. I am kind of in a situation though. my trophies are dont and ready to ship but I do not want to ship them here with the fear of them not getting here in time or getting here just to be packed up and re...

When @lil 2 sleepy was up here for his caribou hunt I jokingly threw out the idea that I may be going to kodiak this year to try to get blacktail and goats. He said just let me know and I'll meet you on the island. Well after a month of horrible planning and kicking it down the road it looks...

I am looking at taking my 2 kids (my son will be 7 next march and my daughter just turned 8) and my wife on a trip. This would be mine and my wifes second trip over but my kids first. I was thinking maybe one animal a piece for my wife and I and my kids a cull or 2 a piece since this will be...

I had 2 fellow AH members take me up on my caribou offer. @lil 2 sleepy and @dailordasailor will be joining my family for the fall caribou hunt in August. I'm excited to see what the herd looks like this year and what Alaska will throw at these guys! I hope yall have fun and look forward to...

Is it worth the money or not? It seems like if something happens there is nothing you can force on the airlines. So why do we pay for it? Is it worth paying for?

Has anyone ever had trouble with the export company getting the paperwork for the permit for taxidermy? My taxidermy is finished and just waiting for the paperwork for the export permit on my Black Wildebeest. However the company keeps saying that they have not recieved anything yet. (been...

Well my taxidery was supposed to be done before Christmas which was important to me because I deployed a couple days after christmas. However they are just getting done and now waiting on one permit. Luckily I think I will beat them home so I can help my wife with them. Here are the pictures...

I am kicking around the idea about going on another hunt either after my deployment in 2019 or in early 2020. I am looking for only plains game for my wife and I and maybe my 2 kids. I know there are some great outfitters on here and was wondering if I could get some quotes with pricelist...

So my new to me gun just came in and when I tried to turn on the lighted recticle nothing happened. I am hoping and thinking it is just a dead battery. But for those of you that have one when you hit the luepold button is it a definitive click? Also if anyone could could you take a picture of...

So after the last caribou hunt my wife decided she didnt want to carry her .308 (it is heavy barrelled). She really preferred the weight of my remington 30 06 semi. So I have been wanting a .300 win mag and the hunt was on. I came close to buying browning new BAR MK III a couple of times but...

Has anyone used one? Seems like they just came out and a pretty neat system that is budget friendly.

I am really wanting a new .300 Win Mag. in semi auto. I have a Browningn 12 ga in semi that I absolutley love. Has anyone personally shot one of these? Anyone know anything about accuracy and reliability? There isnt a ton of info on them on the internet and from what I have found it seems...

This last Wednesday a buddy sent me a text and asked if I wanted to go try and find some mountain Grizzlies. He and another friend got 2 there this time last year. I was a bit apprehensive at first just because moose season was going to be closing in the unit I hunt this weekend and I still...

What's better for north American game? I have a hell of a deal on a 375 h&h browning. But part of me believes when I leave Alaska a 300 is a better gun? So for whitetail mule dear and elk what is better a 300 or a 375 and why?

What is everyone's opinion on the browning x bolt medallion in a 375 h&h? My wife forced me to go to a store that was having a huge sale to get some winter stuff for the kids. When I walked in I was looking at the guns and they had a brand new one on sale for 800 dollars. I have been playing...

My wife and I made our first trip to Africa this April. After we left we said we would go back in 2020 this time taking our kids with us. This summer we got the idea to go back to Arkansas for a week or so in July kn 2019 so we can get our ski boat out and spend time with family. So when we...

Many of you have seen my post about the 40 mile caribou hunt last winter. Well this year my wife said to me she wanted to do the fall hunt and get her a caribou that she can mount. So the wheels start turning. I only had a few weeks to prepare for the hunt and figure out a safe spot to camp...

So my wife and I went on our first trip earlier this year. Total we took 10 animals 9 different species. To us it was a dream trip. We spent a week with the pawprint guys then a week with a good buddy of mine that is a PH over there @Boela. We finally got to meet his son in person after...

The taxidermist is wanting to know what demensions he has to stay in for my giraffe mount. I have no idea how big one normally is and im trying to remember how big he was. The thing that is throwing me off is how wide his chest was and how deep the shoulders go back. So could any of yall help...

So today has been an extremely slow day at work and most of my day was spent on here. I have enjoyed reading hunt reports and looking up random things. This lead me to a question. What would you do if you were on a farm seen a huge bull but was told you could not shoot that one even though it...

Here are some random pictures we took while in RSA. My wife is still editing some she took on her actual camera so phone photos will work for now.

My wife and I just came back from our first hunt in Africa. We decided to get the zebra turned into a felted rug. She wants the head to be taxidermied like the picture attached. I am having mixed feelings about it. It has been capped to have it done like that but wouldnt take much effort to...

We left Johannesburg Wednesday morning to head to natal to meet up with what I consider a great friend @Boela Bekker. Him and another friend jaco picked us up from the airport said we had about a 2 hour drive to the first camp where jaco's son and the tracker would meet us. Now this hunt has...

My wife and I are about 2 weeks out frokm our first safari. She is allergic to alot of stuff including medicine and requires carrying an EpiPen. Do we need a prescription for this? Or will we be fine?

Is there anyone near the Seattle Airport that could house my young sons springer spaniel pup (I can pay)? We are sending him off for upland training but because he will be coming from Alaska he has to stay overnight in Seattle. He would be flying in April 9th or 10th and leaving the morning...

All I need as many prayers for my son he is currently undergoing emergency surgery for his intestines. The doc wanted to fly us to anchorage but didn' think he would make it. They couldn' guarantee a surgery within 4 hours. He is the only surgeon in the fairbanks area that has handled an...

Went and picked up my moose horns from this years hunt. I love them and my son layed claim to them from day one. Needles to say he is ecstatic about them. Not as cool as some of y'als afri a mounts but still a priceless memory of his first multi day hunt.

As the title says I am 70 days from leaving for my first safari! Needless to say the excitement is overwhelming. But a question to the guys that gave already been? What should I be doing? What should I dismiss because I am over thinking? Lol thanks for any help.

I will be at sheppard AFB (Wichita falls) for 21 days of training in March and the first week of April. I was wondering if there was anyone that could help me out for some hunting on the weekends? Or if anything is even in season that's worth chasing during that time? I should get a rental car...

I have been trying to find a list of the animals that will require permits to come back in the states. When I look up the cites list it only gives the scientific name and when j search any animal by common name it says it can't be found.. how do you know what animals require special permits?

I am a member of another forum and on that forum we have a place for swapping hunts. What it basically is is someone invites you to hunt with them in their state be it public or private (this information should be shared) and in return you take them out. While there are no guarantees in...

A little late posting this and it's not with a bow but here it is anyways. So opening weekend is labor day weekend here in alaska I took that Friday off and was sitting around the house loading up all my gear. Anticipation was building as my son who is 4 years old was begging to go with me and...

The wife and I are going on our first safari next year with @Pawprint Safaris. I started my taxidermy search and I am thinking I am leaning to bullseye taxidermy in SA. Has anyone used them? Could you give me the good the bad and the ugly? You can PM me if you would like to keep it private.

My dad shot this monster of a hog this morning. He said he loomed out the window and seen him eating with the cows. Not going to get him mounted because he said it wasn't really hunting since he shot him while wearing flip flops and pajamas. Just as a size referencey dad is 6ft 1 6 ft 2.

So I am going on my first safari with @Pawprint Safaris. I don't know why but ever since I was a young teen a giraffe has always been my dream animal to kill. Now I have the opportunity to make that dream come true. However I was watching giraffe hunting videos last night to try to help with...
