Trophies finally here in the states...

Johhny,

Did you get them tanned over there or did you do dip/pack?
 
Sorry about the misspelled name in the previous post Johnny
 
No. Just dip pack. I want my taxidermist to be responsible for the hides.
 
Cool, yeah me too regarding the hides
 
Johnny, I think you are lucky to get your trophies so quick,
I hunted Namibia in June of 2015, trophies made it to shipping agent in Namibia the day before Christmas vacation, well paper work problem , then shipped to Dulles instead of Atlanta , put on hold in Dulles , then shipped to Atlanta, now waiting on call from Coppersmith. Forrest
 
Good stuff Johnny!

You know what you're going to do exactly?

Yes for sure. Doing a triple pedestal like this for my eland , kudu and gemsbuck. Then I'll do a double pedestal for the zebra and hartebeest, and a wall pedestal for the duiker.

I think one advantage I had was my outfitter had a dip and pack facility on the property so trophies were looked after very quickly. I missed the Christmas cut off date by several days but I think all in all I'll have them mounted and in the house by mid/ late summer.
 
Nice, I like to multiple animal pedestals, may get one after my next rip
 
I think the 3 pedestal mounts are a great idea, really a wall space saver. and look great too. Forrest
 
I'm leaving late afternoon on April 27th, hunting first thing the morning of April29th with Paw Print! How about you, when is your short hunt while on vacation later this year?

. I leave on April 30th for a week. Going to try and complete the spiral slam I need the Nyala and bushbuck to complete. Also on the hit list is waterbuck. Let's see how lucky I can get in a day of hunting.
 
Hi Johnny,
I am glad your trophies made it to the states in good order! Next comes the anticipation and joy of the taxidermy. Best of luck on your "short" hunt.
 
Thanks my friend

Where you headed @johnnyblues
 
@johnnyblues , enjoy the trip in April. Hope you get your spiral trophies. Which outfitter?
 
Gentlemen I'm only hunting one day as its not a hunting trip. This is a vacation with the wife. I'll be proudly hunting with Jono of Kingsview safaris.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
