I'm thinking about going this route with these 2 plains game animals being mounted together. I'd love to see some examples of this. Please share if you can.

I've heard that animal testicles are sometimes cooked and eaten on safari, like Rocky Mountain Oysters (bull calf balls) here in the states. Which animal testicles have you eaten and which taste the best?

When hunting species like zebra or gemsbuck does the sex of the animal matter to hunters? Gemsbuck females have longer horns than the males, but is it custom to only shoot the males? Female zebras are larger and have the nicer hides, but should the stallions be target? Are there any other...

How many have full body mounts of your African animals? I'm considering a full mount of a Kudu or Gemsbuck for my upcoming safari. I just find that you miss out on the side stripes of the Kudu and some of the coloring of the Gemsbuck with only doing pedistal/shoulder mounts. Please share...

I recently got a great deal on a used SKB 5014 bow/rifle case. It's massive and weighs in at 26# when empty. I plan to only take one rifle with me to RSA. So the question is, do I fill it up with clothing and other gear or do I re-sell this one and buy the smaller 5009 double rifle case that...

If you had the opportunity, which TV hunting personality would you go on a hunting trip with? And what would you want to hunt, where? I'll start. I'd pay alot of money to hunt with Steven Rinella in Alaska. Moose or brown bear. 2nd choice - Eva Shockey...hunting not required

I plan to wear pants 100% of the time while hunting. Would you suggest that I still wear gaiters or would blousing garters do the same task?

I'm planning a trip to Limpopo for my wife and I along with my parents. It will be all of our first trip to the Dark Continent. I've already booked a 7 day hunt with a PH (dad and I are hunting, the wives will likely be along for the ride). When doing week+ long hunt here in NA I find that...

Need to book tickets soon Chicago to Johannesburg. Ethiopian airlines seems to be the least expensive option, ORD-ADD-JNB. What are your experiences with Ethiopian airlines and a plane change in ADD? Tickets go on sale approximately 11 months in advance. From past experience when do you...

We all know that permethrin is a must have in RSA to protect against ticks. But I keep hearing that Skin so Soft is also highly recommended for Tsetse flies. Is this needed in Limpopo and is there a certain product that seems to work better than others? I see bug guard plus picaridin and bug...

Talk to me about scent control in South Africa. Here in the U.S. it's a must for archery deer, bear, elk, etc. I am typically a scent control freak, but what about a rifle hunt in RSA? Definitely spraying clothes with permethrin at home before trip and taking aerosol spray to touch-up during...

In the begin stages of planning my first safari. I'll be having clearance done in Chicago so I can pick up there. Who is your preferred trophy import broker?

Traveling Limpopo the last week of May. What camouflage patterns would be acceptable or should I stick with solid green/khaki? The camo I currently own is pictured with letters and numbers. TIA

I will be traveling from US to Johannesburg with 1 rifle for a hunt in Limpopo. Who has done this WITHOUT the help of Rifle Permits or Africa Sky? How was the process and how long did it take? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the additional expense.

I just booked my first safari in South Africa. I'm going to take my 7mm rem mag with me, so I'm looking for ammunition for it. My PH recommends Swift a-frame or Barnes TSX. Does anyone have either of these they would like to sell?
