For those that have contracted recently with a RSA Taxidermist to do a Dip and Ship to the US via air, what is the approximate turn around time?

My first trip ever to Africa will be this June when I will be PG hunting in RSA. IF all goes to plan and I get my 7 animals I plan on having a Kudu on a floor pedestal, a Blue Wildebeest on an African shield and spears floor pedestal (picture included of a Gemsbok on the same shield), a 3 in 1...

Looking to pick up a Remington 541 with the Curly Maple Stock. Please let me know if you got one and what you need for it. Thanx! Bill

I will be on my 1st African Adventure this June. I was in Cabela's and they had these multi use tools at a ridiculously low clearance price. I picked up a case of them. My thought is to hand them out to the locals who assist me. Driver, trackers, skinners, camp staff, etc. Do you guys think this...

In previewing Bulls Eye Taxidermy price list I see "Gun bag manufacture Standard design (excludes skin) $ 245.00" What exactly is that. Is that a rifle case made out of the leather of an animal you took? If so has anybody here done it? Have pics? Is it worth it? What does the "excludes skin"...

Without a doubt the most gorgeous bag I’ve ever seen. Super soft. It says it’s made in Zimbabwe from Impala leather. It will carry all my essentials during my June hunt in RSA.

So every year for Christmas my wife decorates up the house. Part of her annual ritual is "decorating" my mounted heads. They typically get Santa hats, scarfs, ornaments from the antlers etc. I have always felt inside that it was disrespectful to the animal but I have never said anything to her...

I bought the double with 10" arms and like the way it saves wall space.

I will be going on my first African Safari in June of 2024. I will be hunting in the Limpopo region of RSA and of course a Kudu tops my list of desired animals. You know how, in trophy shots, they have the Kudus snout in the dirt and those horns look HUGE? I love that shot. Then when they are...

I was fortunate enough to come up with the bottle pictured below. Not a common occurrence for a Retired Army guy like me. It will definitely be accompanying me to my first trip to the dark continent next June.

I have never fired a rifle with a suppressor before. A few years ago I had an incident that left me with permanent ringing in one ear. When I go to RSA next June I will be using my PH's .308 with a suppressor on it. Will I need to use hearing protection while hunting? TIA.

I am interested in hearing from people who purchased floor pedestals from their taxidermists in RSA and had them shipped back to the US in their trophy crates. Did they hold up to shipping? How much did they increase the cost of your shipping? Do you have photos of them in your crate or when...

Let ,me start of by saying I am not a handy man, so the "Just make it yourself" approach is NOT an option for me. I will be doing my 1st Safari in RSA in 2024. My hope is to have most of my trophies mounted on floor pedestals. I like some of these new floor pedestals I am seeing that look like...

When it is time for your trophies to come back to the US (Post taxidermy occurring in RSA), and they go thru the Customs process, I remember reading on here that a wart hog and a bush pig will slow the process down as an additional inspection is required. I have recently added a Honey Badger to...

Are female Gemsbok eligible for SCI entry? I know many of you view only males as "true trophies", but can females go in the book?

It showed up today! I couldn't be happier. It's Desert Ironwood out of Arizona. Africa Hunting etched on the blade. This Bushcraft Hunter will be on my side during my South African Safari.

Planning for my first African Safari. I will be hunting in South Africa. I hope to have about 6 mounts done by a taxidermist in RSA. I live in Baltimore, Maryland USA which has a major Sea Port, and that's where my trophies will go to by sea. In reading these boards I have discovered these...

Scheduled for my first African Safari in June of 2024. Although I am an avid hunter here in my US home, I have never shot off sticks. Of course I plan to practice that (a lot) before I head over. Any advice for someone who has never shot off sticks before? Anything different I should be...

I am really liking these Zebra 3-D Wall Pedestals. I am seeing lot of taxidermists in SA that do them, but they are not appearing on their price lists. Anybody been over there recently know how much these typically go for? Thanx in advance.

I just watched a Youtube video wherein they were unpacking a crate of SA trophies to show the recipient how to unpack the crate. I was shocked to see the horns were not attached to the mounts, and that they just slipped on. Question - are these the actual horn of the animal harvested, or are...

So I'd like to carry a pair of Leica 8x42 Bino's on my upcoming African Safari. But I will probably never need them again so I am hesitant to lay down the cash for a new pair. Anybody got a used set they're looking to sell? Thanx.

Absolute newbie here. Making plans to go on my first African hunting trip ever and looking for advice from those that are more seasoned than I. I know the PH typically carries binos/range finder. Should I? I see the advantage of having my own binos, but I also see the advantage of having my...

I have read some posts on here that say don't worry about the measurements and the SCI minimums. I will be going to Africa for the first time in June of 2024. Unfortunately I probably will not ever be able to go a second time. For the money I'm going to pay, I definitely AM going to worry about...

So I am seeing a few pictures of some AFrica Hunting .com baseball caps on some threads. I can't find a link to a store anywhere. I'd love to make some purchases. Is there a store on this site?

So I am booked on my first South African Safari for June of 2024. I have heard nothing but great things about my outfitter/PH. Four of my close friends have hunted with him before and they consider him to be like family. My conversations with him have all been super pleasant. But... He has...

Absolute newbie here. Hunting Africa for the first time in June of 2024. I have been very busy reading all the planning guides and resources on this wonderful site. Question 1. My hunt, among other animals, includes a hunters choice of Blesbok OR Impala. I like the horns better on the Impala...
