This is the first time I’ve ever heard of anyone allowing for a return of ammo. Everyone just says to keep the wrong stuff and we will send the right stuff.

My experience is very limited here but I ended up going with cartridge slides on an additional belt that went over the top of my normal belt. I loved this combo as it was very comfortable. I went with the Els and Co Somerset pouches for double rifles and then got their canvas belt. It worked...

@KMG Hunting Safaris I don't know, bushpig seem pretty easy to me, no need for patience :LOL: Mike (KMG Team) 2 - Bushpig 0 Total time hunting, 24 minutes 12 seconds? I may have made that up but it can't be longer than hour max! We've spent more time tracking bushpigs that died within 30 yards...

Honestly I don’t know exactly how they make them. This was the message I received from them when it was being built and processed. I didn’t dig into it any further to get clarification if that meant they were casting a unique skull for it or using a real skull or what. Although, If it was all...

Yes, that is what I had Splitting Image Taxidermy do. My crate with hides and skulls was just a dip and pack as I usually have all my taxidermy work done here in the states. This crate was just added to that same shipment. I don’t recall the exact cost but I believe it was around $1200 for them...

I will work on that for you. My guess is the crate was most of the weight we were feeling but I’ll pull it out of the crate and get it weighed and measured.

My crate from Splitting Image that had my base in it showed up before I left for my second trip. I didn’t get to open the crate fully as we left it in there while the mount is completed but it looked pretty good. It’s a granite base and it’s heavy as hell. I’m excited to have the mount...

Not likely to the hunters as recoil won’t allow for you to follow the shot in all instances. A lot of times yes, but if the angle is weird and you shoot, it might bounce a tad bit more off the sticks than normal. So then that’s where the trust and experience of your PH comes into play. I’ve...

From the internet, exact same photos from an ad placed in January 2024 and this ad then posted by someone who joined back in 2016 with only 4 posts. You guys can do the math from here but it’s clearly someone who had their account hacked and I wouldn’t touch this to save my life.

I am finally in South Africa sitting at Africa Sky getting ready to have breakfast. All my luggage got here just fine. Our flight last night was late again. The flight coming from Johannesberg was late by about 12 hours. I didn't hear what the issue for that flight being late was but that caused...

It was mechanical. They had a mechanical issue for the delay when the flight left joberg and I assume the same or related issue popped up again when they landed.

I forgot to mention, I was not going to allow them to keep my luggage for a few days. I tried to get it back that night, we stayed at the airport until 5am and everyone that requested their luggage there got theirs. My buddy and my luggage never came. The guy said he was done and went home. They...

Sorry you had to scrap the whole trip. We were on the same flight but we are still going. As I type this I am still stuck in Atlanta in hopes that the flight tonight goes. I got downgraded from Delta One to Premium Select on this flight. Having my rifle with me made getting on a new flight with...

Don't feel like you're being targeted. Those pictures are perfect and will help tremendously. There have been a bunch of people lately trying to scam people on here and some have been taken for rather large sums of money. When items like this come up, everyone is just trying to protect others to...

Well it is possible that the picture was stolen off the internet but the 4457 address did match to the same state as the where the original picture was taken. I didn’t save the picture when it was posted but I’m pretty sure the address matched the gps location of the photo as well, I wish it...
