NAMIBIA: Off To Namibia

Congrats Charlie, the photo plaque looks great! I just received my CITIES import permit this week, but everyone in Namibia, including my shipping agent, is "on holiday" until January 9. Already have the Namibian export cert, so they should be able to ship when they get back to work. My taxidermist in Iowa is an SCI measures, so I can only hope my cat scores anywhere close to the monster you took! Mike from Lacona, Iowa.

The pictures above are the taxidermy studio of Jim Guist, Totally Awesome Taxidermy, Billings Missouri the day my friend David and I picked up the trophy. And the cat in the U-Haul trailer.

I haven’t been able to post pictures to the site in over a year and we couldn’t figure out why. Well I bought a new IPAD and now I can load pictures. Go figure!
 
@CAustin,

That’s an awesome mount of a GREAT cat and a wonderful way to remember your hunt. Thanks for sharing.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
