I’ve got 32 animals about to be clear permits already crates 2 crates (I went a little nuts this trip) and I’m using Splitting Image Taxidermy and their go to has been Badger Cargo for a long time and they are out of that same area. My outfitter was Huntershill. They aren’t cheap I’ll tell you...

Here’s a short clip sent over from splitting image of them working on my Eland Bull shoulder mount

This is a short video produced and sent to me by Splitting Image Taxidermy in South Africa while completing one of two Kudu shoulder mounts.

Shows Splitting Image Taxidermy completing my pedestal “chess piece” pedestal mount. Probably one of my favorites of the 28 they have done for me.

That’s an awesome cake! Great bull too! My favorite meat for steaks in the world.

That’s exactly what I’m trying to have done with mine as well! I’ve got the suppressor for it just need to have my CZ 550 Safari .416 Rigby barrel threaded. My hope is to retain the front sight as well as I do still plan to use this particular rifle on my next trip across the pond for close...

I am having my CZ550 .416 Rigby threaded once my new suppressor I recently purchased gets here. I see a lot of people bashing them when they’ve done nothing but positive for me and on top of the sound mitigation it also takes I feel more than 50% of the recoil felt regardless of caliber. I can...

Tracking Down deer

Day 6: PH SWITCH: Riley Tracker:Civit My list is quickly dwindeling away as we have been so successful every day harvesting more than 1 animal per day so now we are down to the final animals on my list which were Warthog, Red Hartebeest, Zebra, Mountain Reedbuck and to call in a caracal &...

Day 5: Today was a bit of an off day as we couldn't seem to find a mature quality impala ram. I was okay with something with character but I also wanted to have atleast a good speciment after passing on many impala meanwhile getting some amazing video footage of several rams in the mountains out...

Day 4: Back at it on the Grey Ghost #2! We wen't back to the last known location of the cool looking kudu we tried to put a stalk on previously. We glassed all morning and found a few immature bulls but nothing crazy or the bull we were looking for so after spending most of the morning glassing...

Day 3: So today we are back out on the prowl for Kudu. This wasn't on the list to harvest 2 but after I got my first taste at the grey ghost I wanted t see if I could do it again. Boy did I ask for it trying to outdo my first which already made Gold Medal but I was determined and LOVED the...

Day 1 continued: on our way out from one property heaed back to drop off for skinning we happened to spot a beautiful white fallow on the top of a hill at around 150 yards out or so and I quickly jumped out as the buck started to get to the very top of the hill I used a tree for a rest as there...

On this first day after we completed packing out this moster of an animal down the mountain and went back to the main lodge for a quick lunch, to get him skinned out how I wanted him and into the salt. Later we would be heading out to take care of a few more from the list. I may jump around a...

I just returned from the Eastern Cape a just a few days ago and a few words of advice....if you’ve had the covid vaccination I recommend wearing your vaccine card around your neck as I did both ways to RSA and back to the USA. Both ways when they saw that vaccination card and I began to pull out...

Yes sir! We are leaving this Thursday (May 27th) and having to layover for 13 hours in Germany on the way there and a direct flight back to the states on return flight through United and Lafthansa Airlines for us. So far so good on our flights still on time for departure.

I'm not sure about around San Antonio, but here in DFW the one by the airport that does the testing exclusively for international traveling with the 30 minute guaranteed turnaround is called "MED + Dallas Accula" at 580 S. Denton Tap Rd., Suite 280 Coppell, TX 75019. They charge $275 for their...

Yes you will need a PCR test for entry. My outfitter has a nurse on location that does the tests for our returning flight in mid June. We depart from Texas to RSA on May 27th. Hope this helps! Check with your outfitter for testing arrangements. I’m using Huntershill Safaris.

I leave for our Safari May 27th and we are getting our PCR test results within 30 minutes for $98 total. There are several centers in Texas anyways that guarantee this 30 minute turnaround on PCR tests that specialize in international traveling but you just ask for that guarantee and some are a...

I am looking to see if anyone has just recently (within the last 2 weeks or so) has traveled from the States and had a layover in Germany before their arrival to JNB in South Africa? If so can you please let me know what your experience was like with customs at both countries and if you were...

That would be greatly appreciated if you wouldn't mind! Any heads up on potential hiccups would be fantastic. Thanks in advance!

I'm sure hoping to. I think I've hired just about everyone possible other than a travel agent to assist in making sure I have my ducks in a row to gain access into RSA through customs. Worth every penny for a small fraction of the peace of mind it gives me of successful entry.

tablet maybe? Great question though. Unfortunately I don't have the answer to that but I'm a newbie to hunting/travelling to SA

I planned on not even registering on the app etc. until I'm landing in the case that Customs wants to look at it and verify its up and working. Not sure on the phone service part of it without having wifi. Was thinking they may have it in the airport to verify it's working? This is my first time...
