Namibia Leopard and Elephant Hunt Taxidermy

Where was your hunt? I’ve seen that some farms in Namibia had nyala but none had the quality of yours!
I hunted with Nick Nolte Hunting Safaris near Omaruru. Nick is well known for leopard.
 
How long was it in NY? I have a 2022 safari shipment waiting to clear that has been in NY since late april.

It arrived in NY on 25 May
 
It departed Windhoek on 22 May , went through Addis Abbaba on 24 May, and arrived in New York on 25 May

I am using a company in New York called Genus Logistics. Cindi Rulon connected me with them. MY POC there is Matt Mayers
 
Had this work done by Kings Taxidermy in Namibia; tusks are cast replicas. They are currently in New York waiting for clearance to get shipped to Texas. I won't say how much the shipping costs were, but I am looking at making an Air BnB or VRBO out of the crates to try and recover some of the costs!

Beautiful work. You have me curious about the shipping costs as I am waiting to hear any day now from the shipper in RSA with numbers for my crate. The way things are going I may have to forgo your ABNB crate option and go straight to living full time in mine!

Hopefully you will have better options out of RSA than I had out of Namibia. Ethiopian Air was the only airline that was taking Big 5 trophies out of Namibia at that time.

Yes, I am thinking there are not many options for air freight with Big 5 trophies whether from Namibia or RSA. I will find out soon enough.
 
Turkish airlines may be the only option
There was some rumors another airline was going to start transporting big five to the states but I can’t remember who they were but it definitely wasn’t any of our chicken shit US airlines.
 
Got em home finally!!

Simply wonderful!!! it’s none of my business but does the window by the leopard and springbok get direct sunlight? I would hate for a beautiful piece of art to fade from exposure.

Thanks, it only gets it a little in the morning, but we are going to put a shade on it.
 
Awesome mounts not everyday you see a leopard and springbuck mounted together very unique.
 
Those look great. Thanks for sharing!

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
