A friend of mine had problems with that in 2006. They finally had him scratch a number on it with a screw driver.

I just had a friend of mine join AH. (Safaripete) He has a full body mount Nyala in perfect condition for sale. It might be a lot less money to get it. & swap out horns than ship. & mount one. His email is petesbearsden@yahoo.com

I went last May. Funny thing is Jim Gibson that post just before me was my guide. He was fantastic!! I hope I get to hut with him again some day. For some reason it won't let me post pics now I'll keep trying.

Here ya go

My wife and I hunted with Four Seasons. I just wanted to say that it is a first class operation with lots of real nice animals. We took a 350 class Red Stag and a great Tahr. Over all ihe most exciting fun trip we've had. ThankS Shane!! Highly recommended!

This might give you a better idea.

The Wildebeest mounts on top of the Nyala

Just got these back from the Taxidermist

Thanks. No I don't do any work other than my own anymore.

I do a little leather work. So I made rifle cases out of some back skins

I'm off to Christchurch in a few days. We are going to arrive 2 days before our hunt starts. Does anyone have any recommendations for any place that might cater to hunters for a room a couple nights. Or maybe even in Auckland. I've always liked the idea of staying at Afton House in JoBerg S.A. I...

Thanks!!!

What do's and don'ts do I need to know to get trophies home? I live in USA and will be hunting New Zealand. I guess I'll need a broker just like getting trophies home from Africa?? Thanks Jeff

Wow THANKS for all the help! I'm disabled so all the runaround at airports really takes it out of me. If I wasn't such a gun nut, I'd just rent one. But then all the gun smithing and tinkering to get all the performance out of a rifle you can ------- well that's half of the fun.

Thanks! Most likely Sydney. With only 1 gun registered to me.

We live in the U.S. we have a hunt booked in New Zealand. Because my wife works for the airlines we fly standby. Therefore we try to have a couple options on flights. There is a good chance we might have to fly through Australia. We may also need to overnight there leaving the airport to a...

Enter me..

Sounds good to me!!

So I have a lot of footage of 3 Africa hunts. What programs do you like to put your home videos together? I keep putting this off. It's time to get busy and get these things together. Regards Jeff

For as long as I can remember. 1 of the most commonly given bits of advice was, "take a caliber that you can find ammo for anywhere." Now you can't find commen ammo at any store in the U.S. I'm glad I have a 257 Weatherby in mind for my next hunt. Weatherby was about the only ammo left on the...

Here ya go. Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.

Please take 2 minutes and go to Ruger's website, they will automatically email all your local, state and federal reps a letter from you on this gun control stuff.... Real nice for us old lazy guys.

Thanks that helps. I'll have to take a look. I'm thinking it is from the early 70's. I'm sure it will be in perfect condition. He has over 100 guns. Most new in the box, and stored in perfect conditions. After 60 years of buying and not shooting hardly any of them. He has decided to sell most of...

My brother has a old Sako Finnbesr 375 H&H. I don't think it has ever been fired.i have not seen it in years. I've told him several times I wanted to buy it. He said today he was going to sell it to me. Now we have it figure out what it's worth. Any ideas??

I agree. I have not been able to get any 250 grain TTSX and Barnes is only 75 miles from my house. Always sold out they must be good.

My results with Barnes TSX in the last couple years have mostly been 1 shot kills. 300 Wby 180 8 plains game complete pass threw. 300 Wby 180 gr Eland off side under skin expanded to 0.618 308 Win 165 gr Red hartebeest off side under skin ex. to 0.842 308 Win 165 gr impala enter front...

Thanks. Randy you picked a great place to go. You will enjoy every minute of it. While I was there they had 1 more hunter that took a leopard and a buff. Ask them about him for sure. He was a true inspiration. But I'll let them tell you the story. He is my new hero.

Here are some photos. The Nyala and Wildebeest were the only animals i was after this trip. I did not throw a tape on them, but i thought they were both pretty good.

My wife & I just got back from Harloo 3 days ago. It was our third South African safari. Everything was first class. They have some very good Nyala & Buff. All the staff are great. I think anyone going there will love it.

Thanks to everyone. I have had 2 people contact me from this post. I will do my best to give them a great hunt. I really enjoy doing this. Hopefully I'll be looking for someone again next year. Thanks Jeff P

John PM me your phone number.

Never mind. I found Tri Countrys number. I'll try to call you in the next few days.

I am sorry that it took me this long to answer. If you will give me your phone number I'll call you about the hunts we give away. The place we hunt is up by Corine and is mostly under water with all this runoff. So no hurry. Hopefully we can get together and take you on a hunt this fall...

Without "Africa Hunting Forum" I don't think this would have been resolved this soon (if at all) Im just glad that we have someplace like this forum to keep each other informed. I don't like throwing mud, just getting treated fair. Regards Jeff

So the money was put in my account today. I did not want to throw anyone under the bus just yet. Things worked out OK. But it took several phone calls. Both from the dip and pack place and my PH. All I can say "get your own insurance for your trophies" don't let your shipper do it for you. I...

Well it's been 3 more weeks of excuses. Even though she sounds like a very nice lady on the phone. I think I'll have to pay them a visit nex year when I go over there. I was promised the money in my account last Tuesday. It's been a no show. I'm thinking 1 shot 2 kills might be on to something...

Thanks. That is the same one I have. I ruffled enough feathers here just asking a question. Not my intention at all. My plans are just to start making some phone calls Monday. Both my PH and the dip & pack place said they would replace it for me. But a different animal just doesn't have the same...

nsok That would be great. I would like that. Regards Jeff

James not only have I talked to the PH he came and stayed at my house. He told me I was the fourth one he has had tell him about the same thing. I have emailed back and forth with the dip & pack place six times. He has been sending me & Zingela the same emails trying to get them to correspond...

No, churches have not been any help in the past. Even the Veterans Hospital won't ever help. I just ask around until I find somebody who knows somebody. Just though I'd throw it out here. You never know. Regards Jeff

The missing Warthog is not as bad to me as paying for Insurance and not being able to find out anything about it. They said that they would take care of the claim for me. But won't tell me the Insurance company or claim number. At least they don't answer my emails.

I take the disabled hunters out in the SLC, Utah area. This hunt is for S.C.I. Salt Lake chapter. I am looking for a hunter for this years wild pig hunt. PM me if you know of anyone in the area. Regards Jeff

Hello I'm really not new, just back under Jeff P insted of just Jeff. I forgot my password and I have a new email addy. So had to start all over again. I mostly just read, I don't post a lot. But maybe I'll post a little more now. Regards Jeff

Has anyone had any trouble with ZINGELA FORWARDERS out of South Africa? I had one Warthog missing when my shipment arrived the U.S. I had insurance on all of it. But no luck on collecting anything from them. It's been very hard even getting them to respond to emails. It has been 4 months of...
