Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

He can't and has a list of people needing one due to scabies. So, if you can find one that would be great. Hopefully we can get it shipped to the taxidermist used by my outfitter. Let me know the cost if you find one.

It looks like I will need a Beceite Ibex cape. The hair on my cape was not in good shape. Any have a cape I can buy. I don't have any Euro Mounts so I prefer to get a cape.

Thanks Aranuel for the advice. It was helpful in getting what I came to Spain to hunt. I am enjoying Barcelona now then to Madrid on Wednesday.

Just getting access to post pictures. I will post fuller report later.

I am excited about going to and hunting Spain. I first got interested in Spain because of a post by @Just Gina and @ActionBob. I chatted with Gina about their hunt and was encouraged to go. I am doing a Roe Deer hunt and a representative Ibex hunt. Bob probably will not surprise me with an...

Lesson learned, be extra careful when asking for a certain item because anyone can respond. I wish I had one to sell you. I sold all my Nikon scopes many years ago. Good luck!

I would commission a painting of my buffalo. Others have done this for non-exportable elephant and lions. They look incredible and are a piece of art that your family can keep for generations. I have considered doing this on a couple of lost trophies.

I am going to the same area for the same hunt, April 4-19. I am hunting on April 8-12. I will be in Valencia April 5-7, Barcelona April 12-14, and Madrid April 16-19. If we overlap maybe we could do lunch or dinner one day.

Top of Texas (Amarillo) did a few cases and pillows for me, and they are beautiful. Erick, "Gizmo" (AH handle) can help you. I have also seen a pair of handmade boots that were incredible. Most inexpensive option with a Giraffe would be to use Namibian taxidermist especially for tanning. I...

I used a 375 H&H with a 300-grain bullet (South African Brand). I took a frontal shot at 50 yards and he fell like a tree. I would not use anything smaller than 375 H&H. The thickness of my old bull hide was incredible. They had a special trailer to pick up the giraffe. They backed the...

My bucket list mainly involves Canada and Alaska. I have hunted New Zealand twice, Africa four times, and Europe. I will be in Spain this April and Namibia next year. My goal has been to travel overseas while still able to make the long trips. My list: Moose, Caribou, Brown Bear, Bison...

My Personal Recoil Measurement: 1. WOW (light 375 H&H) 2. Owie (458 Win Mag) 3. MF (505 Gibbs and Bigger) I'll stick with my 375 H&H.

Why Jonesboro, AR? I am from the area, and my mother and sister both live in Jonesboro. I will be there for Christmas.

My only issue was finding scope mounts and rings when I needed them. Then paying $500 dollars for a mount seems too high for me!
