I have watched their shows and they seen like genuine people. I was just telling my wife the other day that if I had a choice to hunt with somebody it would be them.

Just fixed one of these yesterday, don't quite understand why you call for the locate and then just dig anyway.

Samsung makes the Smart tag that does the same thing, only reporting when it sees an Android device. I recently bought some and sent one across two states with my son who is an Apple user and was pretty much able to figure out where he was as he traveled. I then made a trip to his house and...

Welcome from a fellow Wyomingite, Buffalo area

Welcome, I am just outside of Buffalo. Would love to see a get together in the area sometime, I would even be willing to host

The season to kill a bull ends on Oct 31, she has surgery (bone reconstruction and a ruptured tendon) scheduled for Nov 1. Non weight bearing for 8-12 weeks after that so she wanted to wait until season was over just in case. She really toughed it out for this bull, there were a couple days we...

While my hunting season is probably a blank this year, my wife did fill her Nebraska elk tag. He is not a giant bull, probably not a trophy to a lot of people, but considering we only had 360 acres to hunt on and she is getting around on an ankle that the doctor wanted her to have surgery on 4...

I like the idea, from Buffalo

sounds like we can probably strike a deal, one for one is good with me

I have 35 that appear to be new or maybe once fired then resized and polished 416 Remington Brass that came as an add on in an auction. I would love to trade for something useful to me. I could really use some 300WSM brass or maybe some 375 Ruger Mag. I may be interested in other hunting...

Well I know I said the last post was my final one, but here is truly the final episode of the saga. As John posted above he did indeed contact me the following Monday, Feb 13th and offered a refund of 1/2 or my storage fees which amounted to $2062.50. I will leave it up to everybody here to...

I have been shooting trap since '89. Started when I was in college in Nebraska and somebody said there was a trap club in town. Learned to shoot trap on white targets under the lights with a great group of guys. Shot my first registered trap in '98, have given it up twice as finances wouldn't...

OK, so here is what is probably my last update on the ongoing saga that I have posted about before. Jan 6th I did indeed visit Trophy Shippers booth at the DSC expo. I had a visit with Mr. Alan Zarach about the fact that Trophy Shippers had promised to look into the high storage fees and had...

Here is my experience on this, pretty limited as it was first and so far only time having taxidermy shipped back the the USA. In August taxidermy was finished and crated and the taxidermist worked with Badger Cargo on shipping to the US. The communication from Badger Cargo was prompt and went...

I paid the fees and am enjoying having my trophies on the wall but if/when there is another trip things will be done differently. Not really sure what I will do next time, but it won't involve trophy shippers no matter what

My experience with Trophy Shippers runs much along the lines of most of the aforementioned stories, slow clearance and LOTS of storage fees, along with the not my fault excuses. I had trophies shipped by Badger Cargo and as far as I can tell that part went well. They arrived in San Francisco...

Ok, I am going to update this tread with the latest (or lack there of) news on this from earlier in this tread. As of today, Sept 29, after a couple of calls by me to my importer there has been nothing done. I am not sure where the blame lies here, but I feel at this time that the importer...

Yes, that is correct

I posted on a similar thread a while back about the costs of getting my crate from RSA to middle of nowhere Wyoming. I will give this update and will also agree with anybody above that has said that storage fees are a scam. The crate contained shoulder mounts and backskins from kudu, blue...

I sure wish that was the case in my part of the world. Landlocked public land is kind of a bad subject with me, it is even listed on some of the bigger ranches real estate adds when they sell that there is private access to public ground

The corner crossing issue has been a big debate in the western states for years. There are literally millions upon millions of acres of public ground in the west that are landlocked and cannot be accessed by the general public. The thing that gets me is the guy is saying that by them crossing...

I just paid $4100 for my crate of trophies from my trip in April of 2021 to be shipped from Joberg to San Francisco. It include 7 shoulder mounts, kudu, gemsbok, blesbok, black wildebeest, blue wildebeest, impala and a springbok, plus a couple purses and all the back skins. The crate...

Cornell Cowboy I will be in Laramie June 30-July3 for the Wyoming State Trapshoot. Plenty of down time if you would like to visit a little just let me know as there is nothing I enjoy more than visitng about my trip to Africa

I have two sets if custom made plugs. One I use for trapshooting and they have ear buds built into them since I prefer to listen to music while I shoot. The other pair was built by an audiologist and has what he referred to as cones in them. The cones block the harmful noises while allowing...

Here are some pictures of what I done. I replaced the bottom piece of foam with three 1/2" pieces. One uncut piece on the bottom, then the middle piece I cut out for my shooting sticks, a bipod and a sling. Then another piece on top of that to cover it all and protect the guns that are cut...

I also replaced the bottom foam with 3 thinner layers and it enabled me to cut the middle layer of that and put my taken apart shooting sticks, 2 slings, and a set of tall bipods. I will take some pictures tomorrow, but currently that case is packed up for a trip to the shooting range with my...

I have used Carolina foam in the past and it is pretty good. I don't think it is quite as dense as the original pelican foam, but my guns have made it to Texas and back to Wyoming several times with no issues. I have also used foam from Cobra foam inserts in a shotgun case and find it fine as...

I love my TAG shirts, but as noted above the left hand long sleeve shirts are no longer available. I recently ordered some shirts for Kevins Fine outdoor gear and apparel for my adult kids. They seem to be of similar style and quality until the TAG shirts become available again, and they have...

I used wifi calling, Facebook messenger and text messaging all three while in South Africa. As long as I used wifi calling for voice calls I got no extra charges. I did add the travel pass plan to my Verizon phone before I left, but never used it. The nice thing is that there is no charge...

i had a misunderstanding on this, sorry

If the 30-06 is not spoken for I am interested

My wife and I flew Qatar in April, we both wore gaiters and were never questioned about them. I do agree that it is amazing how long you can make meals and drinks last, and never pass one up when they come by either

I flew this route in April, they never measured my carry on, but did weigh it. I was a bit over the weight limit on it so they made me move stuff from it to the backpack I was carrying as my personal item. Can't say I see what difference it made beings they were both going on the plane in the...

It was a pharmacy called PHarm406 https://pharm406.com/ I would assume they are still doing them. It was a super simple process, show up, little paperwork, get swabbed then they printed out the results and you were on your way

Not sure if it works, but I had a test done in Billings Mt in April, 15min in and out. If you need it I will find the name of the pharmacy that I went to

April 2021 Hunted in South Africa Kudu, Gemsbok, Blue Wildebeest, Black Wildebeest, Impala, Blesbok, Springbok

Just took this flight about a month ago now, it does seem to fly a little further east on the outbound trip, but kind of fun to watch the compass on the flight monitor, pretty much says north, then south.

Actually live closer to Buffalo, but I work in Sheridan. Beautiful country

The credit for a lot of the pictures goes to my wife and the PHs. My wife and her camera were pretty much inseparable during our hunt except for the time she was hunting, and the amount if work that Ruan, Okert and crew put into getting the trophy pictures shows in the results

It will be a tight connection but you should be fine. It took my wife and I 42 minutes Gate to gate. We were supposed to have a 1hr 45min layover but incoming flight was a little late. They dud announce on that flight that they were waiting a few minutes for people to board from a connecting...

I will agree with the above reply on firearms. Make sure they are checked through to JNB when you check them in. Only other advice I have is to make sure you plan plenty of time at your original check in point. While they were very polite and there was no issue with my check in, it is a time...

Sunset

I just flew Qatar three weeks out and returned a week ago and had no problem with my hand written ones. Must be difference in airports, I flew from Seattle to Joberg and back.

The good news for me is that before we went my wife had told me several times that this was a once in a lifetime trip, on the way home she told me WHEN we go back she wants to shoot a waterbuck. I think I may have a shot it down the road a ways

Day 7 While we were done hunting we still had some adventures left on our list. We had told Ruan that we would love to see some lions. The day began with a trip to a nearby farm that raised lions. While these lions were captive, they were far from and tame and one even charged us right up to...

Day 6 While I was done hunting, day 6 started with one thing on the agenda and that was finding my wife's wildebeest. We returned to the open field and there were some black wildebeest there, but not the one we were looking for. We checked several other likely spots with no luck until we came...
