I just recieved my rug and have found that the head/neck portion of the rug is VERY stiff. So much so that if I step on that area it hurts. Plus, it does not lay flat so I am constantly tripping over it. Question: is there anything I can do about these problems now that I have the rug home here in northern California? Thanks...

I must say that Louis at Spiral Horn Safaris has stepped to the plate today with an offer to send me another zebra rug free of charge and to check with the tannery involved to see that something like this never happens again. Nice, huh? I am a happy man.....
 
Good on you.
Happy customer.
 
Way to go Louis your the Man!
 
Hi Gary

My apologies once again for this happening we greatly value you as a client and friend!

I will be following everything up later today but you will have a brand new skin by the end of February at the latest.

Thank you again for your patience I do appreciate it!

Best Regards

Very professional. Way to go Louis and Gary. That is good business.
 
Way to Go Louis,

As an FYI to anyone considering tanning in SA. My award winning taxidermist references didn't let me down, my hides just back from Universal Trophy service in Joburg are excellent quality.
 
Great service Louis, I am sure Gary appreciate what you are doing. Sad though that the Taxidermy messed it up and then the outfitter feels bad about it. Because of the relationship you have with your clients.

once again in my opinion you did good
 
thats what i call going above and beyond louis
im sure gary is happy
very impressive
 
Your a class act Louis! Impressive!
 
WHOA! What a class act Louis! Not too many like you around.
 
Louis :clapping:
 
Kick the taxidermist for me. :)

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
