I shot a zebra and had the skin made into a rug. After getting it home and unfolding the rug, the mane is folded over sideways and there are several fold creases. I laid some heavy books on it to flatten it out. Is there a faster/better way to flatten it and to get the mane standing upright?

My experience is similar to JG26Irish_2. I have been to SA twice and did my SAPS form myself. Had no issues at all getting in to SA and only a few minutes slower than ones who used a permit service although, if you are inclined to use a permit service, by all means do so as they are very...

The shootist.

When I was a kid my stepdad smoked about 2 to 3 packs of Lucky Strike non-filters a day. Now that I am away from that it is amazing how much I notice the smell of cigarette smoke on someone. I am sure when my siblings and I went to school we must have reeked. BTW, my stepdad died of throat...

I want that eye!

Here is my zebra. If you notice the bullet hole, it is almost exactly dead center in the triangle. My PH said it was the best shot he has ever seen on a zebra. I only tell this as I consider myself to to be an average shot on my best day and no bragging intended. Just made a good shot. It did...

Mine is more mundane. I dream of shooting a warthog. Been to SA twice. Saw way over 100 pigs. Only one was shootable and he never stopped to allow a shot.

Beerkat, that has to be one of the funniest taxidermy works I have seen. Horribly bad, but hilarious.

Been twice and both times did it myself. First time took about 30 minutes as the guy in front of me did not have his filled out correctly. Cost him $100 to get his rifle. Second time took me 15 minutes. No issues for me either time but if you you are unsure or want peace of mind, have a service...

I played slow pitch softball for many years. Most of the guys on the team had nicknames; Toad, Hack, Bubba, D Squared, Goldie, Mule, Foat, Nerp (Don't ask me where those last 2 came from). I was a pretty good left handed hitter and was pretty fast. I batted leadoff or second most of the time, so...

Hey guys, no offense taken here. Like I said it was tongue in cheek and I was good naturedly defending my states honor. (LOL). Phil you are right about the weather. When Indy hosted the super bowl we had an unusually warm week so it was a big success.

OK, I have to defend my state city. LOL. So what is wrong with Indianapolis? Other than the iffy weather the city knows how to put out the red carpet. The super bowl a few years ago (in February) got rave reviews. I think if you ask most people in the Big 10, Indianapolis is the go to city for...
