Yeah, not sure why it’s not designated?? I’m using Louisville as it’s 200 miles closer.

Found the list. CVG is still not on it https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2024-06/ole-wildlife-trade-wildlife-inspection-offices-2024_0.pdf

My taxidermy is ready and I want to see if CVG is accepting taxidermy now. I can’t find the list on the USDA website. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Last year in Limpopo. Near the border of Zim and Mozambique

Emphasizing what others have said. You and your PH are hunting as a team. I'm sure some just walk behind him and wait for him to point the game out, but that's not my style. The PH I hunt with appreciates my ability, it's really like hunting with a friend. With that said, he spots more game than...

I had a great transaction with @TOBY458 Good price and quick turnaround

Agree with you. I've only done one buffalo hunt but it was extremely thick cover. And why sight in for 200 yards anyway as I had no intent of a shot that far. Sighted in at 100 I was like a inch high at 50 and 5" low at 200.

Ask for the tip guide before you book, or at least before you go. Calibrate on amounts if you're traveling with friends. Bring small bills for staff and tracker. Large bills are fine PH. Put your tip in envelopes and hand directly to each person. It my money, I want the joy of giving it to them...

The outfit that I hunt with in RSA discourages this for two reasons. 1. his staff grows to expect this and thinks the PH is skimming if someone doesn't tip at this level. 2. his staff will disappear for a few days after receiving this type of money

That's crazy high.

Nice buy!
