They had to repair the right horn as my second shot hit a tree and then took 3-4 inches of the tip,off. We found the tip and the taxidermist did a great job on repairing it. They did a great job overall.
I’ve traveled four times to Africa, once started on American and the other three were Delta from Boston to JFK. I carried a double gun case and have never been charged for over size luggage. Not sure of the dimensions but it is over what they list. I don’t remember being asked about the weight...
The zebra pillows in the picture are the ones that were done by Erik for me. It was a back skin and he was able to get three pillows out of it for me. The work done on the pillows was excellent. Should I get back to Africa I will be back with more skins.
On my last trip to SA in September 2017, there wasn’t a problem with the gun case as mine is one lock on a locking rod which secures all four lathes. However I got a call on my cell phone from TSA in Boston as they couldn’t X-ray the ammo case or that they couldn’t determine what was in there. I...
I enjoyed your story as I have enjoyed your novels. Your father reminds me of my father and the actions taken by yours mirror the ones taken by my father. Unfortunately my father and I drifted apart and I never reconnected with him. He passed away 20 years ago and I never got to say goodbye...
My friends are quitting due to the uncertainty with the government in Namibia. Their farm is supposed to be the center of the mining operation and as such they decided that staying is not an option. I'm sorry to see another hunting operation bite the dust. I had great times there with Kate and Kurt.
Erik,
The pillows where here when I arrived home form Germany. They are extremely beautiful and well done. Thanks so much. Now if I can keep my kids away from them we will be fine.
On my last trip in September, we were looking for a zebra that had a broken leg. They wanted us to take it rather than it suffer but by the time we found it, it had died.
I hunted for two years with Namibia Hunting Impressions. They are just east of Windhoek and offer about 25000 acres to hunt on. All free range there. Kate and Kurt Duval run a first class operation. I would highly recommend them to you.
They have access to more than that 25,ooo aces. I meant to...
I have a zebra back skin I would love to have turn in to pillows. I don't know if you could get three out of it. I would like them only one sided.
Could you PM me with price please.
Thanks
I believe that you as someone not from Namibia needs a local Namibian for a partner and I might be wrong but I believe that they would require 51% which means that you would really have no say.
Spike T., I first heard 55ooo hectare but Jindal Namibia website says 33000 hectare, still a big hole. It's not so much the hole as the rail line needed to run the operation that will come right across my friends farm east of Windhoek which will kill his cattle and hunting operation there.
What's going on in the Khonas area in Namibia? First they send out letters to land owners that the government might want to take their land and they will hold a conference in September but then cancel it for a year. Now Jindal Steel ( Indian Owned) wants to put a 55000 hectare open pit mine in...
Not sure about the Monkey Gland Sauce. I have spoken to Johnny and Mariana at the Sportsman Show in Springfield, MA several times and enjoyed their company there.
Lori,
Thanks for this though some seem to disagree. When I recline my seat, I do it in stages so as to give some type of warning. I flew from Boston to Rome on Alitalia, the seats were so close together that if the one in front recline during the meal service, you could not eat off the tray. At...
Its hard to believe that Fred would get so upset over someone wanting to buy a Lion. Different strokes for different folks. One thing Fred, if this has upset you this much, maybe its time to walk away form here.
YOU can have a stable government and a president in power for a long time as has Zim if you kill or place in prison all of your opposition, then you can stay in power and line your pockets while the country falls apart.
