The issue with sharing too many details is that an army of keyboard hunters will immediately find fault on the hunter and in the ph. While none of them were present to get the proper context. It will be nice if lessons could be learn from what happen, but on today society will quickly develop...

With those parameters I’ll go to South Africa. It is safe, just use common sense. I personally prefer flights through Europe. If there is a delay or cancellation at least you are entitled to compensation, not so much with flight from us to South Africa. Airlines will cost you around $1,500. A...

Thanks for the offer. I’m in Houston

This is my case. I cycle with my right handed, always with support. My dilemma is on needing a fast follow up shot on a DG. I cannot mount rifles on my right hands, it feels odd.

I’m thinking I’ll get a 375 ruger LH!

Thanks for all the input. Just to clarify, I own all RH rifles and shotguns. I mount them on my left shoulder and shoot. No closing eyes or any similar trick. I’m not sure I’ll be comfortable mounting on the right shoulder and do one of the tricks. I may try next time I’m at the range. I’ve been...

Hi, I'm left eye dominant but all my rifles are right handed. I'm thinking on buying 375 for maybe a future buffalo hunt or maybe a Nilgai here in TX. I was wondering if I should go with a LH or continue with my RH rifles. A lot more options on RH. I've never shot a LH rifle before, so I don't...

The issue with Nilgai is not that they won’t get killed with small calibers, but that a lot of the hunters are blind hunters that don’t practice shots pass 100 yards. Combine marginal shots due to lack of practice, no much blood trail and no African trackers, and you get a lost nilgai. Not good...

I used wise for the deposit. No questions ask, but I tried to pay the balance from South Africa and they sent the money to the wrong branch of the same bank. I still don’t understand why the bank didn’t just credit the money, it was returned (after more than a week). Then I sent payment from my...

While US government couldn’t work the details, Pablo Escobar was able to import some into his ranch in Colombia. he started with 4 now there more than a hundred roaming the rivers with no predators or hunting

I cannot image the adrenaline rush! I get excited just shooting a deer!

Suspend is killing me!

I seem to remember you brought two bow's for this hunt. what draw weight did you use for the hippo?

17 shots, 3 for check zero on two rifles and 14 for 11 animals (3 required second shot)

Interested. What is the thread pitch?

I decided to start earlier with some tannerite!. Fireworks are next! Happy 4th of July.

It doesn't hurt to get another quote!. But I doubt it will be significantly different.

Agree, no idea where the exotic market is going to go. Right now there are a lot of exotics that are very well stablish through some areas of Texas, like Aoudad, blackbuck, axis, Nilgai, Fallow, hogs, etc. And some landowner despise them and hunt them out of their land, while others look forward...

You see, I don't think the landowner that have Aoudad and outfit hunts for them see them as an issue. They see them as an income. The state sees them as an issue as are very detrimental to bighorn sheep, but most of the ranches with Aoudad have no bighorn sheep. I do not know what will people...

I doubt you will find landowners willing to let people shoot hogs/aoudad on their property for little or no money. Property is very expensive in Texas and potential liability is just to much just to risk it. And just to be clear, a liability release means nothing, you can still get sued and have...

No public land open to hunting in west Texas

In Texas there is no season, no bag limit and keep expanding. They are carrier of desease that kills bighorn sheep.

Mine are dark blue where I have mounts

I’ll be onboard with a 404J left handed

I keep getting back to this post waiting for some play by play!. I cannot image the excitement you must be going through. Good look and shoot straight

I used Wise to pay deposit on my hunt

First you have to decide if you want leather or horn back. Leather if you want to make goods. This decision will dictate how the gator is skinned. I have one of each. Leather give you more options. I sent mine to Sebring taxidermy in Florida

Great folks to hunt with. I went last year with game4africa and had a great time. Visited both north and South camps

Meeting this requirement shouldn't be a big deal. If you cannot meet it, probably something is wrong with your rifle. I don't have an issue with it, but the implementation, that I could have... How are this proficiency test going to be done?, are there enough public ranges across the state to do...

You will get luxury accommodations in South Africa! and great service. I personally have use game4africa. Take a look at their packages, you can add anything on top of them. Many great outfitters here.

Another vote for Nilgai in South Texas!. A lot of meat and great hunts.

From FAQ: 6.) Do you require appraisals or pictures? Unlike most homeowners insurance carriers, we only require appraisals or bills of sale for individual items over $50k. Items over $50k also need approval prior to securing coverage. https://gunandtrophy.com/faqs/

You should be able to get some good dark color with the danish oil. Rub one coat in and immediately remove excess with a clean cloth. Come back some time later and with clean cloth and rub again. One coat may be enough. The Danish will offer no protection, you should apply a top coat after it...

Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x40mm with either a duplex or wind-plex reticle, it will serve you well for hunting up to 400 yards, and you will be below your budget!. Get your custom turret and you will be able to dial for 400 yards shots with no issues. You can go to a VX-5, if you want to have more...

I have no experience with ocean freight. But was told that while the shipping is cheaper, the fees are higher. Make sure you take that into account to make a decision.

Reach out to @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS they will get you an honest quote. No surprises on the bill. Great accommodations.

You can get average to good taxidermy in South Africa for the most part. If you want the best, regardless of wait/cost, do it in the US, but don’t go with any taxidermy, find one that does a lot of African taxidermy. If you are happy with a good mount/quicker/cheaper do it in SA. Different products

Hunting done with @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS

My new office/game room is ready... African taken with games4africa and Taxidermy done by Lauriston. Corsican ram and white fallow taken in Texas. Hi,

here is a rough example using Game4africa. Airline $1,500 (dollars) Spiral Slam $6,950 (EC Kudu, bushbuck, Nyala, Eland) Tips $700 Taxidermy (in- SA) $3,000 (shoulder mounts/ euro will be a lot cheaper) Shipping $1,500 (guess!) Clearing agent $1000 (typical cost in US) Total $14,650 $442 above...

You can get a Kudu, Zebra, Wildebeest, Impala and Blesbuck for $4,850 with GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS All included (daily fees, trophy fees, food, beverages, etc, etc). That will cost you $8000+ on your free hunt.

Just make sure that trophy fees for all animals you want to hunt are in the contract. Sometimes there is only a subset of them, specially when you sign for a package hunt. In that case, usually the contract stipulate that you pay the current rate at the time of the hunt for any additional animals.

I only ask them to include a black felt backing (1/2 overhanging)
