RIP Brother!

I think Sharon kept him going and she is a saint for it. Please forgive my sense of humor-

Loved a lot of his music, grateful to his contributions in the world of music-RIP

All great trophies-congratulations to the hunters! And that is absolutely the biggest living sable I have ever seen-

A gorgeous bull. Will make a beautiful mount and bring back those memories for the rest of your life. I don’t hunt inches and feel like you should hunt waterbuck every chance, every place with everyone you can. But I do understand your ph’s statement and respect what he said

Safe travels and good hunting!

Winchester model 94 in 30-30

Thanks for sharing. Some really beautiful trophies in there. Hope your mom has relented and will allow lioness taxidermy in the house!

Congratulations on a very successful adventure. Thanks for Posting the story and pix (y)

The dark color does give it an air of classiness-congratulations!

.375 wby brass always in stock at sportsman’s warehouse. Pm me if you want me to send you some and we can work out the logistics. Taking mine to SA end of this week-excited to get out of town and do some hunting! Glad you joined, hope you continue to enjoy-

I bought this from a member here and have finished it cover to cover. Not one I need to keep although I would guess it has some collective value. $125 includes s/h in the USA. If interested please pm me. Happy to provide more photos-check on e bay and you will find this is a deal. Matt gave it...

At work it’s water or Gatorade. At home diet mtn dew or Dr. pepper. When I’m in South Africa i’ve really enjoyed the Coca Cola-tastes better than here in the states

:D Pop Popcorn:Excited for more!

Killed my first pheasant with an activ 5 shot from a single shot Harrington and Richardson 20 gauge. I think I have some 12 and 20 gauge still around. DM me if you want me to locate them for you

If there’s no witch doctor to consult with-go to the chocolate! Good luck, I’m sure something good is about to happen

I know we have a bunch of members from Texas and I’ve done some buy and sell with NM members. I hope you are all faring well as the rains come down and the floods come up- seems like Kerr county was the worst hit that I saw on the news-

That is excellent taxidermy and very cool specimens-congratulations and thank you for sharing.

Once fired brass for the fireform for and accuracy. New brass I would want to chamber each loaded round just to make sure it chambered and un chambered without exception. I do it with all my loads anyway-just because I get excited

Wood carvings and ostrich eggs go well. I try to find a nice carving or bronze for myself. I think most photography parks have a gift shop which is nice because you can pack them in your luggage. At the airport you have may have already checked your luggage and gifts get stuck in your carry...

0 for 20 and already own multiple pairs of reading glasses. I’ve done some of that stuff this week!

Very hard to top a big, Beautiful sable-congratulations !

One consideration should be that .308 is much more common that .30-06 in AR platforms and is more likely to get scarce in times of stress, threat and panic

She is tying her own flies and can throw them better than I can. The flies she uses are too small for Me to see! This is a nice cutthroat she caught in something I need my reading glasses to tie on. . . Also I did not know muskrats ate fish-but clearly it happens

Both are magnificent trophies-glad you stuck it out and found success on the last day! Thanks for the story and pictures-will watch for your full report

no experience with them but check out Heritage badlander line. Fabarm also is producing one this year but I think only in 12 gauge-good luck in your search May I suggest finding “the one” that you want and saving until you can get it, rather than settling for what is available in your price...

When I was doing research for a safari one of the most common complaints was that the hunter expected to hunt with the safari operator but was given a different ph without any notice. The other common complaint was freelance ph’s not knowing price structure-having to send pix to the owner to...

I feel inspired as to which books to take in my upcoming trip-mine have spent lots of time in a treestand hunting deer and elk. Looking forward to the rest of your stories!

From jburg to east cape your ammo box should have a tsa lock and will be removed from your luggage to fly separately. Your gun case should have padlocks that only you carry the keys for-

Didn’t Namibia just begin using a program similar to this one?

Thanks for taking the time to share!

There isn’t a hard fast Starting number. Look through the deals and offers section for a baseline and then add in the other items previously mentioned. It does get expensive fast, the airline tickets are always the killer for me

If your ammo or gun get lost-you borrow or rent one from the ph. Easy, simple

That buffalo piece would make a great centerpiece for a trophy room! Some beautiful work displayed

Coors-so could be beer or could be urine, . . ;)

I have Talley bases with QD rings on my .375 wby. I used it last trip to South Africa and had no issues. I’ve been practicing with it constantly for a month getting ready for the next trip-on again and off again between the two scopes. One a dg scope the other for plains game, both for...

Hope to have time to go to mtn top in about three weeks and try for another bushbuck after buffalo of course! You should always hunt kudu there and impala as well. . . And I am glad you shot that waterbuck-that’s one of my all time favorites!

Who is judging each category?

Featherbrains-guilty!

Looking forward to pictures. I haven’t competed in 15 ish years-family, time, work etc. But maybe next year I’ll come down and see how I can do against the Texas bird weirdos. Good luck Sir!

Thank you for the report-you took some fascinating animals. Congratulations on your success

:D Pop Popcorn:

Finished one, getting behind on others-don’t have as much time to read in the summer. . . Might need to gift some of the finished books to interested parties:unsure:

Several people on here have built them. Try searching “trophy room” or something along those lines and see what comes up or maybe re tool your title to something like “show me you (African) fireplace”. You might get more feedback. I love the idea, we are in the planning stages to do something...

Bought a book from Badger Matt. Shipped and arrived quickly and safely packaged. Very good dealing!

Love the photos! Wik does a great job setting them up and making everything show up just right. Congratulations on a great adventure and some magnificent trophies

I do have to admit my last trip they had the prettiest flight attendant I’ve ever seen on any flight ;)

They will just replace those taxes with different fees such as requiring wma permits. Read the bills carefully and look at the proposal maps before you make assumptions-

Airlink if you are traveling with guns. Small planes but comfortable enough and you won’t be in the air all that long. The view as you swing out over the ocean preparing to land is really fantastic

Welcome-looking forward to some stories and pictures
