Thought I’d run this past folk as I’ve got my first plains game hunt next year. Now the uk ,(and most other countries) seems to be getting harder to import ‘trophies’ for want of a better word and they are currently talking about a cites import ban. Now I’m not realistically going after cites...

Right folks, what’s the best taxidermy mounts you’ve either 1) seen on the internet if you can find the photo or 2) have had done yourself? I’ll probably get the mounts done in the uk,(spread costs out if needed, actually get the capes across before any daft legislation etc) but who would you...

Well folks, after a long time sitting on the fence, the deposit is going through for a hunt for next May in South Africa. Any pearls of wisdom from folk? I still haven’t decided if it’s worth the hassle taking my own rifle,(although I very much like the familiarity of it). It could be as...

Well folks, I’m sure this has been asked numerous times on here but I’m needing some real life experience. The ‘reloading’ room where anything boy related can go in without many questions asked is 2M high. I’d a red stag pedestal mount that I was really pleased with a couple of years ago...

Here’s a question folks. Planning a SA hunt for plains game next year or 2026. I’ve posted similarly on a uk stalking thread so apologies if folks see this twice but trying to get as much feedback as possible. Really only going for plains game. Kudu, nyala, springbok , impala. With or without...

Folks, just curious on what you think is the best time to hunt SA? The outfitter had suggested either Jan or May being the best for kudu? I’m assuming Jan the bulls are not split up so easier to choose? Or May because maybe less cover? Which would you go for? I assume the mosquitoes will be...

Right folks , I’m looking for some advice if possible please. I’ve posted previously on one other deer stalking forum in the last few months but thought that there might be more / additional feedback on here. I’m basically trying to work out if and when I can afford a SA hunt,(currently...

Well folks, this isn’t intended as a can of worms so please bear with me as it’s meant with good intentions. I’ve just read an old thread from 2012 as I’m keen to try my best to avoid somewhere that’s put and take. Now, I can completely understand possibly buying in a couple of males as a one...

Hi folks, I’m looking into booking a trip to SA probably 2 years ahead,(got a lot on next year). I’m keen on the above outfitter and was wondering if anyone on here has hunted with them? My other question if possible is, how much is dip and pack/shipping and how long does it tend to take to...

Hi guys, so I’m going around in circles a little bit here and was wondering if you can help me from experience. So what I want to hunt is, large areas, can be high fence. Must be spot and stalk. With a rifle. I’ve seen videos from people on here who are site regulars where,(mainly for bow...

Hi guys, What’s you general experiences with taxidermy after a hunt? I like the look of highveld taxidermy but am I better to get the skins sent home and have the work done more locally? Especially if something goes wrong? Are taxidermists in Africa good at relaying emails ect on how you’d...

Has anyone got any pictures of either area to get an idea of the landscape please? I’ve pretty much narrowed my choice down to SA but know these two areas vary quiet a lot in appearance / terrain? Also is one much easier to get to than the other? Animals and hunting will be similar? Thanks!

So very open ended question but I’m going to try and convince my old man who only does a little bit of rifle hunting to join me when I get my first trip,(likely SA) organised. If you were to go for a simple few animals for a plains game type hunt, what would you recommend to someone for a weeks...

Hi guys, Just wondering if you could answer a couple of questions for me please? I don’t mind hunting high fence as long as the areas are huge and you don’t ever see the fences,(obviously on the way in you will). Do these areas regularly release animals onto the ground? I was speaking to...

Hi guys, I’ve tried searching the reviews and there’s so so many. I was hoping for a few regulars to pop up for some kind of common theme.. Basically I’m looking to hunt South Africa, I’ve heard Limpopo is nice but happy to go anywhere that’s good and relatively easy to get to. I’m just after...

Hi guys, apologies I’ve been flicking through the forum and there’s a wealth of info on here,(you could lose days!) which I will continue to use but thought I’d start joining in. I’ve been planning a trip to Africa since a kid but now with my 30th a year away, I think it’s time just to get...
