I think that’s the design idea but not real horn. My wife picked those up years ago (I think at West Elm). I’m sure she didn’t even know what a kudu was at the time. :)
Taxidermist was Trophaendienste, who was recommended by @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS Had the above mounts plus a zebra rug, flat skins of oryx, back skin of blue wildebeest and leather from the kudu. Everything exceeded my expectations. Shipping went through African Shipping Services and...
I transited through Addis to Namibia and had to go to to security/luggage sorting and unlock my rifle case and show paperwork both coming and going. Got a little hairy with catching my connecting flights but everyone was super pleasant to work with. I had my binos in with my rifle and nobody...
I don't have one from them but hear good things about Wellema Hat Co. I do have a hat from Great Basin Hat Co in Elko, NV and can definitely recommend them, Mike does good work. Not sure how far either is from you.
from left to right: Havstad, O’Farrell and Rand. Love these hats; wear them in all weather and all conditions. Not afraid to get them wet, sweaty or filthy—just adds character! The Havstad went to Namibia with me and brought back more than a little ground in dirt. A custom hat is like a pair of...
Went on my first Safari (and trip to Africa) in September 22 with Khomas Highland Safaris and had the time of my life! Namibia is gorgeous, and Philip runs a great operation. I should have booked time to go to Etosha but my original plan of taking 3 animals turned into 5 and am now anxiously...
Prologue
I’m more of an avid shooter than hunter. I love tinkering with rifles and handloads and finding that perfect combination of powder and bullet that make for great accuracy. My friend Casey, however, lives to hunt and we’ve had great times chasing mule deer and antelope together. He...
Fantastic report Karl—it was great to meet you and share in your successes! Hope to get my report up sometime next week. You are so right about the crew at Khomas, a first class operation.
Would you mind elaborating more on the 4stable sticks? In photos they look less stable and more awkward to carry/set up than say a bog pod or such. Very interested to hear more about your experience in the field.
Indeed, have already gotten such great feedback and communication in this topic and through PMs! Can’t thank all the good folks at AH enough.
As far as rifles, my thought was to bring my 280AI and 300 win mag. I’ve worked up loads with 155 and 210s respectively that group under .5 MOA. I...
Hi all,
Recently joined to start gathering info for a Namibia hunt, looking at 2021 or possibly 2022. I’m an infrequent hunter but frequent shooter and avid reloader. My goal is to find an outfitter that will give me a true stalking and hunting experience. I’d rather spend days on a track and...
