Certainly it doesn't require this specific tool to unscrew that cap? Looking at the design, I can think of all kinds of things I could try that would be readily available anywhere you might be while on a hunting trip if you lose or don't have access to this tool? Or am I totally smoking crack...

Airlink has been great for every flight I’ve done down there and that’s been quite a lot. Probably around 50 flights with them the past 6 years, a mix of some international and interior flights. I usually do about 5-6 flights legs per trip depending on where we go. They have a good network of...

Only place I’ve used is West Texas Hunt Organization. Call Mike and he will get you hooked up for around 4500 for axis and I believe he is still offering some free range hunts for this year based on some posts on some other forums he visits. Lodging is basic but you’ll get great food. I’ve been...

Thank you. I figured that was the case but I have seen some where it is included for a basic type of base and then they provide pictures of the type of base you can expect for their price. So I wanted to ask that question just to make sure.

Do your lifesize mount prices include the base or is that an extra cost? @gizmo

I was 95% on board before but now I’m not even 10%. All for a record book….

Just to clarify, I am mostly on your side here. Like 95%. I don’t think the elephant is going to run miles and miles. It will run a short ways and fall over. My opinion here is a heart shot is a heart shot but the only caveat to that is that bullet also made two exit holes. I have no clue if an...

The hearts are gigantic. I know of someones hunt to give some data on. This is a rifle hole through the heart, 13 minutes later it was still alive, but it was not standing, it did not die from bleeding out. It was shot again. I don’t see any reason an arrow is going to behave much different if...

I do, here you go.

If anyone is looking to replace a ruined buffalo cape, I have a cape buffalo cape that I do not need. It is wet tanned and in good shape. Cut fairly long as I was planning on using it for a pedestal mount. Shot another one so I don't need two so this one can go. Neck size is 43". Eye to nose is...

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...
