ZIMBABWE: First Hunt In Africa, First Hunting Report, Dalton & York Safaris

Been working on whitening some of my skulls and they are coming out pretty nice. Baboon is one greasy skull to deal with. Had to let that soak for a few weeks. Although I'm mounting the bushbuck, I wanted to clean it up and throw it on the wall, cant get over the size of that guy.

I'm glad this thread was revived and updated! I still have much to read but it's excellent! Belated congrats!
 
Have you ever considered getting replica horns made for the bushbuck mount and keeping the skull and horns on display?
I did it with a B&C muskox. Skull and horns was just too cool looking to cut up for the mount, but the fact I will probably never take another and the hide is so thick and cool made me go that way. Mount looks fantastic and the European mount does too. Very happy that I did.
Amazing bushbuck any way you slice it tho. Congrats!!
 
I haven’t given that any thought. I may do something like that, I have plenty of time before the cape is ready.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
