Maybe I didn't read your post correctly, but Hodgdon has owned IMR from the very beginning. They added the H-series later on. In addition to Alliant stopping production for civilian markets, Hodgdon has suspended the Enduron powders (plant that makes Enduron is also supplying military...

Do we get to drink the Dos XX with you?

That ain't no joke. Of course there some people that say Aoudad is good eating - but I think they are talking jalapeno sticks...

Johan Calitz comes to mind as well. He's the one I always heard about in Botswana. And this is before he and Tony Makris did their hunting shows.

Looks like I spoke out of turn? This says USFWS are responsible for inspections on arrival. Guess I'll call and find out. https://www.fws.gov/law-enforcement/wildlife-inspector-dallasfort-worth-airport-texas

In the last 5 years I think West Texas Aoudad hunts have doubled/tripled in cost - so I won't complain too much on the cost of Nilgai.

Lots of truth in this statement. By the way, have you seen what the operator in the Nyae Nyae (Namibia) is getting for his trophy bull hunts? It's more than Botswana I believe.

No worries - I may have that off a little bit myself, but the taxidermist can get you lined out. I've heard of Yukkutz but that's about it. I'm still up in the air on Gould's taxidermy. I might end up doing good photos/video of my hunt and not do any taxidermy. That said, if I was doing an...

There's a difference between 'approval/clear' and 'processing'. If you reread my initial post I said 'processed by an approved taxidermist'. The skin you bring back will be cleaned and boraxed, but not processed per USDA standards. It's similar to Dip/pack and warthogs/primates from Africa...

Birds are required to be processed at a USDA approved taxidermist. You can find those here: https://vsapps.aphis.usda.gov/vsps/public/AESearch.do?method=unspecified The taxidermist you choose should be able to help you with all necessary paperwork, import process and costs for import, etc...

Would you rather have Kamala in charge and just keep pumping US taxpayer money to Ukraine with no results?

30-06 and 7mm Mauser are nowhere near related. 30-06 was based on the 30-03.

3rd Generation of the PH model.

Unfortunately, you're not going to find a decent car in the US for $3,000-$5,000 for the amount of travel I'm guessing you'll be doing. You'd be better off going with the car rental.

Correct on the taxidermy part. I should have clarified that both companies do tanning in addition to taxidermy.
