Thanks Ansie! I will definitely share once it has dried and been framed!

Got it! Thanks that makes sense. We do have a taxidermist in town so I will let them decide depending on what shape i find it in, like you said. Thanks a mil!

Thanks Hagar! This is helpful - With Bos en Dal Safari's advise, I'll go in the new year around March / April for South Africa's best time for fallow. Just hope the velvet was shed by then - it looks gross! If I get one that still has it in tact, do I then try to preserve it like that when I...

Thanks! I was wondering about the taste. Here in SA we make biltong but we mostly buy kudu or springbok so I have never tasted fallow. This will be a first!

Hi all. As a new hunter I'd appreciate some advise! My very first hunt last month was a Springbok which is obviously antelope and I now have a big interest in hunting Fallow deer as I would like to mount the horns as my next trophy - those antlers just fascinate me! But what I have learned was...

Thank you! I will most definitely share the trophy once complete - I'm still waiting for the skull part to dry - any tips on getting this done without using salt and waiting for it to dry? Suppose I will be starting a new trend then - not sure if you will be able to follow it then otherwise...

Hi Shootist43 I live in Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa - it is now hunting season and the kudu's are running for their lives :) I am actually unsure of a shooting club per se as I live in a very small town, however, we do have a clay pigeon club. I joined the rest...

Hi all What a great wealth of information - thank you to all the experienced and even less experienced hunter on this website. I have recently hunted my very first animal which was a springbok - this was in the Western Cape in South Africa in the Karoo on my dad's farm. Since I was young I...
