You can import Hartman's zebra . Who ever exports your trophies will pull a permit for it after you have taken it. The permit is an extra $100.00. Bontebok you must apply for permit before you leave the US. If successful it will generally take about 8 months to see the permit if it gets...

Does Venmo work in Africa ? I have sent checks to banks hear in USA that my outfitters have. I have also wired money , I live extremely rural and my bank is 30 miles away. So kinda a big deal to wire money. I would also think paying with credit card they are worried about charge backs on cards ?

I take a crap ton of photo gear with me. I have a canon sx740 HS . It's small and fits in a shirt pocket. Has the best zoom of any small camera I've seen. Battery will last for 4 to 5 days , without recharge. Takes great photos. I use it for quick shots and shots on airplanes etc. Plus trophy...

I have a few lifesizes around. I have others like honey badger etc also. Thinking a life size Zebra may be in order.

Ironically, I watched your video last weekend. Enjoyed it ! Thanks for putting it up !

I wrote you back Bayly Sippel Safaris.

Nice enjoyed the photos ! We are like you ! We put some of our slide shows and things up on youtube so they are always there to show to friends and family no matter where in the world we are. We don't really care if anyone else watches them . Its a great platform for family. This one is a long...

Yep books and things are great. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/what-else-after-the-hunt-do-you-do.61073/

My first was a Kalahari springbok in Namibia !

I didn't care in Namibia. I wanted long, symmetrical and wide . Mine happened to be a cow at 40" I would have gave up the long but not the symmetrical or wide part. My personal feelings, but I don't like crooked or narrow Oryx horns.

Problem is after being in Africa 5 times I Have most of these. Well the ones I want anyway. So I will have to figure other animals or start re-shooting :p

What outfitter hunts hard and has great success for Civets ? I have taken one before but skin wasn't mine when it returned to the USA . Dip packer problem not outfitter problem. Most outfitters I'm talking to just want to hunt them for a side show and not the main event. I fully understand...

I use the zips just for keeping the bag from coming open. Well maybe they are taking them off at my local airport. Who knows but they are always gone when I get to Africa.

Are your zip ties always cut off by the time you get to Africa ? I like you have never had anything stolen but my zips are always gone. I assume TSA ?

We got 4 with enough left over to do 1 more. But I made sure in Africa they didn't cut the cape on the Zebra back at the belly button. I made the cuts about 6 inches behind the shoulders

We did it. Its not to hard.

We did dinning room chairs with zebra seats from back halfs of my wife's zebra.

Well I sit on the both train. Hunts we have filmed are nice and when we have morning coffe on Sundays we stick a thumb drive in the tv and enjoy the memories. That being said there's nothing like our room full of mounts and photos to bring back the hunt on a daily bases. Who knows how much...

Glad to have you guys over here. We live about 2 hours from Spokane over here in idaho. Have fun.

So how did this work out for you !

Had a friend get his 2 rifles stolen on the way back from Mozambique . They never found them. Airlines offered him 300.00. He contacted NRA as they have gun insurance for members ands he was a member. Guess you don't just get it, you have to sign up for it, so they told him to call his home...

Forget the vacuum. Feather duster with the hair and remove cob webs. Get your hands on some of the cleaner they make for artifical plants . You spray it on and viola dust be gone . No wiping or anything. We even spray it on horns, habitat bases, fake rocks and all. Been doing it for over 20...

What a trip ! Thanks for a great report.

I have a very close friend that has been in a wheel chair for most of his life . He is now 67 years old and hunted Africa several times. He has taken elephant, cape buffalos, crocks and lots of plains game. He has hunted Zim, Zambia and other places. If you like I can give you his info for...

Wow what a great time. That's as beautiful of a Kudu as a man can get !!!! Congrats !

We hunted with Victor in 2017. Was a fun hunt. Looks like you had a good one . Congrats

No problem on importing the arrdwolf. I imported one in 2018.

Pick some one very carefully !!!! Some predators can come back from Africa in very poor shape. I would only use someone who has a lot of experience with these animals. I would also try and find a taxidermist that has been there and shot these species first hand. Congrats on what looks like a...

Few years back everyone in our group was ask how many rounds we had on departure. My friend said maybe 20 or so. They went through everything he had. When they ask me I said I have 28 . They let me go right through. We were warned by our outfitter to state exactly how much loaded ammo we had...

Never heard any complaints on them. They bring us a few bears a year for taxidermy. Not one of the clients has had a complaint . Least one they would tell me anyway.

How long do you take to get dip pack done and shipped ?

Most of the Rules Do not read that they must be in factory cases. They must be in a box that keeps ammo from rattling around . We use slip cases and print a label with caliber and quantity. I put a small piece of foam in top of slip case to keep them from rattling. We were checked once out of...

#1 They had to have the game I wanted to hunt. #2 They had to have prices that were with in my budget. #3 The lodge etc. had to be rustic and Africa (I don't like places that are just a house ) #4 Good reviews and reports. Plus I actually called people who hunted with the outfitter. #5 I...

You can come hunt in Idaho. Hunt with Reggear outfitters . Hes all hounds and 100% last several years. Shot this one on the ground He wouldn't tree. Wifes Bear https://reggearoutfitters.com/

Almost all of the crates were getting in are coming from Turkish air.

Wow that's so great ! Good on you guys.

Its getting a little boring in this section so here's a Simple slam of springers !

Yes yes yes---I love the sounds the doves make in the Limpopo !

I love rustic lodges and rooms. Thatched roofs, walls built with local rock etc. I don't like just a farm house, totally feel cheated. Nice fire pit and a great view doesn't hurt either ! Don't get me wrong I will hunt Africa no matter the set up. Were not much for people in camp we don't...

Glad you came to Idaho and took a bear. We have a bunch of them. We can take two a year here. Nice bear congrats !

Yeah that dude looked like he was out cold ! Not something you think of happening !

I book with Gracy travel when ever I can as my airfare, meet and greet ,plus gun clearing can all be handled in one office. Have cleared guns with henrys a couple times and all is good also, but havent used there meet and greet.

Absolutely ! Almost the same exact load I use in the hornet. All other powder would snap my case off until I went to little gun.

I have a 300 wm that has 150 fmj sighted in like my big hunting loads. It can take some time to work that load up to match but it is convenient. I also love shooting small game with my 22 hornet. I took a nice duiker at 172 yards in the Karoo with it. It performed beautifully. Side note...it's...

This is just my opinion from hunting 2 places in Namibia and 3 in south Africa. Our first hunt was in Namibia no high fences. I wouldn't trade the trip for anything. I have found that most of the game behind a large high fence can be harder to get on than ones that aren't. Maybe they are...
