We had a great hunt. Logistics were well handled. Originally it was simply an ibex hunt, but Maral stag became an option. So after the ibex hunt we drove to another village and met with tribal leader and arranged a hunt in the mountain range they managed and chased elk for couple days and after...

Dave- Is October 2024 too late to dart? I’m going to be in Spain ibex hunting Oct 7-11th or so and wondered if you had any availability afterwards. FYI, I inquired on your website last Sunday and the message must not have gone through? Hutch

RB- I’m considering a dart hunt. Can you tell me why one would be better over another? Thank you, Hutch

Rod Patrick, Ft Worth, Tx are the best fitting boots I have ever worn.

Tried to get this image up last nite but it didn’t work out. So here is my Conroe Taxidermy leopard. Should be finished by now. Hutch

Conroe Taxidermy is finishing up my Namibian leopard. It will have a Damara Dik Dik positioned as prey underneath. Hutch

Yes, the Tasmanian devil!

I’ve been riding rural gravel roads for about seven years as a way to blow off steam after work. I began with a 2017 KTM 1190R Adventure. Then purchased a 2017 Honda Africa Twin. Loved the AT! I thought I wanted something smaller so I purchased a 2019 Honda 450L. Ricky Brabec, USA, won Dakar...

I enjoyed your report. I’m headed to Southern Spain in April for South Eastern and Ronda species. Dividing the slam into two hunts.

It is an exceptional bird gun. But it’s mass produced. I shot one for twenty years. To obtain cast, a qualified gunsmith will need to fit ‘you to it’. He may run hot oil over the stock after he obtains your measurements and bend the stock for cast on or off. Length of pull is also very...

I hunted Mahimba in 2014. JP Kleinhans had it then and three of us had great hunt there. True African bush. We listened to the fish eagles in the lagoon every morning for 10 days. There weren’t any hippo tags available at that time but buffalo, warthog, sable, bush buck, waterbuck, and bush pig...

One of my favorites is Uhuru by R Ruark.

Me and my hunting partner will be en route to Khovd from DFW 8/13 for ibex as well. We will be staying in UBT at Shangri La in and out.

I used an RSA taxidermist for four tiny ten species and they did a great job. BUT shipping them stateside is a LONG way with A LOT of handling. So you risk broken bases and busted off ears and so forth. I saved about $3K in taxidermy bills, and my stateside taxidermist repaired the damage but...

Your a lucky man! I’d go back and hunt with Phillip every year if I had time. Amazing country and wildlife. Hennings take care of their clients. That’s big boy country and will test your marksmanship. Zebra shoulders are like concrete. Kudu bulls can hide like you can’t imagine! Grub and...

In Namibia I appreciated eland schnitzel and zebra smoked on camel thorn...

Quail with my hounds.

Ralph and I came upon a ‘little dragon’ along the road and he shot up a tree and ‘vented’. I’ve never head that sound before. Pretty cool!

‘Aim small miss small’ AND I tend to jerk my trigger from being a bird hunter I’m told instead of sqeeeeezing.

Hunting Gold- My hunt at Warren’s was 10 years ago and I didn’t think I could find any photos. But here’s my first kudu bull. Thanks, Hutch

Love that ranch...very secluded and quiet place. I hunted kudu there on my first Safari. We had hunted the ranch all day. Finally, Lammie says ‘I have one more place we need to go’. He came off the mountain at dusk. I broke my sticks down, got on my bum and squeezed at 250 yds with my .300. He...

British Sporting Arms, Millbrook, NY imports for Grulla.

As it turned out, the final import fees were only $1100. I didn’t ask any questions.

I had my Namibian leopard permit filed with the new FWS E-Permit on 10/18/2021. The only response we’ve received is for a request for SCHEDULE E. But no other activity lately. So we are approaching 6 months since filing. All I know is if files ‘sat on my desk’ this long, I’d go broke.

Welcome from another fellow Texan.

I’ve had a bird gun built in Spain and it’s ready. The importer’s website declares a $1K gun cost $1800 to import currently? The gun maker suggested about $1K in import fees back in September. This is about a $15K shotgun. How much can I expect to pay? Anyone have an opinion? Thx Hutch

I hunted with Phil Hennings, Khomas Highland twice. His were some of the best hunts I ever had and very reasonably priced for the quality of the hunt. All low fenced wild animals in vast country. Lots of leopards in that country and roughly $8K-$10K less than others. Philips a good friend and...

We use our leftover pheasant loads. It’s not much of a science. Just lead number 4,5,6 or if your a very good caller even 12 gauge dove loads. Aim for the head. Full choke is best. Hutch

All the more reason to stay in the field as much as possible? No jets and you can do the killin...

I’ll be out to Bridger Patrini’s hunting Black Bear with hounds 10/17 on John Malone’s Bell Ranch. I’ll try and contact you to stop by and visit.
