what is the best way to get a good euro mount from this hunt? Just have to local guys do all the work Or “Dip and pack”, ship back to the states for finishing? Any foreseeable difference in cost or time? It will only be the one mount.

I will be hunting with Pointer Outfitters. Dove hunt will be in Cordova and travel to La Pampa for red stag.

I have a dove and Red Stag hunt coming up in June and was wondering if anyone had tried to ship back anything recently? I plan to just have a euro mount of the stag. I was wondering the average time from hunt to delivery of trophies? Thanks for any input.

I’m have been using traditional suitcases for my travels, but have recently considered a duffle bag. Do any of you have any specific recommendations for or against a specific brand/bag?

doxycycline will also cover you for malaria, if that is of question where you are traveling.

Got some good quality family time at the deer camp (South Ga) with my 2 kids, daughter 11 and son 8. My daughter got her first deer, a nice doe, she made a perfect shot and she was down within 30 yards. The next evening I was able to get this 9 pointer, we have been getting pictures of him for a...

I’m going next week, hope he makes it till then.

Has anyone tried this new gun case organizational system from Magul? They call it “Daka” and it’s a rubber grid that you insert different rubber blocks into to keep your guns and other accessories from moving around. Doesn’t look as tight or secure as a foam lined case, but I have been surprised...

I’m know I have seen a prior thread on this, but can’t locate it. What bow case is recommended for travel, most of the time it will be rising in the back of my truck, but an airplane might be in the future.

I know that NB Safaris recently made some modifications and has been having some wounded servicemen in camp hunting.

A lot of new cartridges have come out in recent years. The 30 Nosler and 300PRC have caught my attention, but is there any significant difference from the 300 win mag? Just wondering if anyone had first hand knowledge on these new loads?

Thank you for sharing the video, what a memory.

Great offer, I love the idea of taxidermy included. This would be very beneficial to a first time client.

Is there a size limit on the kudu?

My daughter has been on the school archery team and intends to this year, guess we will see how it all shakes out. Today is the first day of school here where we live in Georgia.

Took this whitetail last deer season and got the mount back a couple of days ago. It’s the only whitetail I have had done as a wall pedestal, but I’m super pleased with how it turned out. This old guy had a couple of scars on him and I’m glad the taxidermist didn’t try to “fix” them.

I have used them for years with competitive shotgun shooting but never in a rifle. I suppose they would work just as well.

Some great looking work

Here is the bladesmith report on the knife with all the details.

My father and I have always been big fans of Canadian Belt knives when it comes to skinning game. We have had a couple over the years dating back to one purchased by my grand father. Well, my dads birthday is coming up and I found a local custom knife maker to make one for him. I was able to...

I am looking to get a rifle for my 10y/o daughter to start shooting something bigger than the .22lr. I was thinking about starting with a .243 win. The only issue is that I have had it with plastic stock guns and it is terribly hard to find a good wood stock gun these days. Does anyone here...

Wait, there is an app???

Thank you for the detailed report. Very unique impala for sure!!

I’m a beretta guy as well 686 is hard to beat. If recoil is an issue, you can install a mercury recoil reducer into the stock.

Don’t think you’re crazy.

That is a huge mess to clean up. Second, hope they had livestock insurance.

Yes sir it is! Fantastic work.

I sprayed all my hunting clothes with Sawyer Permethrin spray before leaving home. My wife and I didn’t have any issues.

Congratulations Erik! What exactly am I looking at in the third picture?

Did you have to weight the bottom of the base to stabilize it?

Amazing video. Thanks

Wife and I voted early.

I agree with the OP my youngest really has an aversion to loud guns, but loves shooting my suppressed firearms. The reduced recoil is also big to the young hunters. I purchased both my suppressors with my kids in mind. I don’t care about the noise or recoil, but boy have I grown to like them...

I will have to take a close look at the tikka and kimber rifles, seems they have a good following

Looks good. Little out of the budget.

I’m looking for a lightweight rifle in 270 or 280AI for mountain hunting. My only issue is that I want a nice wood stock and most of these are all synthetic. I know wood adds weight, but I’m willing to carry the extra pound to have a rifle that’s nice to look at.

Understood, I just didn’t know if being in New Mexico had any issues/regulations on firearm sales.

Why is it of concern if you may or may not be from New Mexico?

I have a pelican 1750 double rifle case that works great. I want to buy extra meddle foam inserts to make multiple rifle configurations. Online, you can of course buy factor replacement for $$$ or third part sellers seem to be selling the same for $. Has anyone bought spare third party foam...

Wow, $1,000 per animal!!! That’s amazing.

Great advise. I will have to pick some up and try with my new setup.

I was wondering what factory loads members have been getting the best precision results from? Not exactly looking for a hunting load, just an accurate range ammo for long range shooting.

I did a quick search on this and didn’t see anything on this particular outfit in the past couple of years. My brother-in-law has invited me to join him next year, it will be his first Africa trip and my second. I was looking for some first hand knowledge on this location.

Awesome trip and fantastic animals, looks like you’re hooked now.

Looking good

I have bought demo optics from “scope list” I believe it is a sister company of euro optic. They come with factory warranty and I returned one, no questions asked. I simply bought the wrong magnification.

Looking good

Yep. Guess I missed it

I have seen Kudu bone that looks good, don’t know about the import issues with kudu? Warthog tusk always has a nice appearance as well.

1+ for the Beretta O/U
