Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

"Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!"

I finally got my mounts back from my summer 2023 hunt and some of them have minor damage. I had insurance but they want a quote from a taxidermist to do the repairs. Unfortunately, no one around here will even look at them because they are too backlogged on work and I really wouldn’t trust the...

Thanks. Any idea what the brokers charge?

Hello everyone, My family and I went on our first trip to RSA last year and our mounted trophies are finally ready to ship. I will pay the balance for the taxidermy this week and I am lost when it comes to getting them here. She said that Safari Cargo Systems would be picking my crate up in...

Pics or it didn’t happen! :ROFLMAO: Come on man, we need pictures! Seriously, congrats to both of you!

Prayers sent!

If I had any undecidedness then I don’t anymore!

I just finished a prescription of that for bronchitis. Other than sweating like a dog at night, no noticeable side effects.

Thanks for all of the advice! How do you treat your clothes for the ticks? Just take a spray with you or buy something there?

It seems the general consensus is to take the meds. Now the question comes to which med do you recommend?

We are heading to Limpopo in early June for 9 days and will spend a couple of days in Kruger as well. What are the chances of Malaria at that time of year? Do you take the meds or just risk it? My outfitter said that some people have a worse reaction to the meds and he wouldn't take it. I'm...

That’s what has me concerned. My first trip is June 5th and I’m taking the whole family.

Are the current tensions affecting anyones plans of going to SA this year and spending a ton of USD?

Send @TKessel a message. He’s an outfitter in WY. I believe his area takes more points but he can probably get you going in the right direction.

I believe they are now called twat knots instead of man buns! :ROFLMAO:

Balls of steel for sure. That guy is an incredible story teller! He actually has a video of him spearing a grizzly, as well as killing a black bear with a blowgun from the ground.

I seen a post saying that you do taxidermy in WV. Where are you located in WV and do you have a price list? I'm going on my first safari in June.

Prayers for you and your family!

Are the storage fees from them not clearing it sooner?

Who did you use for clearing?

Are these companies just booking agents and a type of insurance to relieve your stress or do they offer/find discounted airfare?

Well…. I’m pretty friendly and I live in the states, so if you have some free hunts, I wouldn’t turn you down. Lol

Only thing that I can think of would be to glue it back together and put it on a plaque. Run a screw in both pieces. If you don’t mind me asking, what taxidermist did you use over there?

I think there should be a review site for outfitters to review clients. If the clients can bash the guides/outfitters anywhere on the internet, then they should be able to return the favor and let other outfitters know what they are getting into.

Don't be jealous of our magnificent bodies! We would all be kings in the African tribes that like the fat guys! :ROFLMAO:

Greta report so far..... Don't keep us waiting too long!

How far in advance does everyone typically book their flights?

Thanks for the info.

I am in West Virginia. The closest major airports are Cincinnati and Columbus, OH which are both about 3 hours away.

I've only been on one guided hunt and yes I tipped the owner because he was my PH. I plan to do the same in SA next year because that owner will also be my PH.

Nice review! I started using those about 8-10 years ago and never looked back.

Won't be mentioning this to the wife. This is supposed to be 2 days and one night of our trip next June. LOL

Does booking through an agent offer better pricing or just less stress?

Awesome!! Congrats!!! Is that the dirty underwear hanging in the tree? LOL

We have our first safari scheduled for June 2023 in SA. There will be 4 of us, myself, my wife, our teenage son and our college graduating daughter. Our passports arrived last week and it's time to book our flights. I have a few questions am asking for some guidance as this is the first of...

They don’t make them any prettier than that! Beautiful rifle!

+1 what Terminator said! I really wanted to hunt Aoudad last year and started researching early in the year. Found out that I could hunt high fenced for a “guaranteed” animal for cheaper than I ended up going. I didn’t go that route because it wasn’t what I wanted. I knew that I would never pay...

Good job to you dad! Congrats to the huntress!

Congrats!!!

Very nice! Congrats and keep the story coming!

Very nice! Congrats

Sounds like a great time and some friends made! Congrats

I do euros on Whitetail and can have them done in 2-3 days including the drying time. I was thinking that it would be cheaper to stay another couple of days and fly them home with you. But I’m sure they have treatment stipulations that would keep you from doing that.

I don’t see why you can’t bring Euro mounts home with you. I guess it’s just a money grab.

That looks awesome! Congrats!
