I have a few windows and put in a large double french door. They all will have 3m uv film put on. The large door is to make it easier to get trophies into the room
These are the most current photos minus the electric work. I am doing all the work myself, but I did pay an Amish company to frame the walls (could not have done it cheaper myself)
Those look great. I really like the euro mounts lighting.
The kudu and Nyala look great as well those are some nice trophies.
Do you remember what style led you used?
I am in the process of finishing my trophy room. It is 48 x 30. It has 12 foot sidewalks with a cathedral ceiling. At the highest point it is 16 feet.
Currently I have general lighting that will be recessed cans spaced evenly throughout the room. I also have cans set 3 feet from the wall 3...
Who was the outfitter
When was the hunt
What happened
Did you work with the outfitter on a resolution
Were the circumstances out of the outfitters or ph control
My number one would be did you tell the outfitter you are posting a negative (or positive) review. If you have to hide behind...
He had another post in which he talked about having a great hunt. I read his initial post again after the above comment about the avatar and he said that he left a trophy with the owner to have his wife do the taxidermy. If I had that experience I do not think I would leave anything behind with...
This is always an issue. I love turkey hunting and currently am working on taking a turkey in each state with a bow. Last year was a major setback. I went to Georgia and the property was hit by a tornado. The hunting was terrible. I then went to Oklahoma two weeks latter and another tornado...
Thanks for the replies. That would be great to spend that much time in Africa. Hopefully when My children are older we can do that. I gto to spend a month with my dad in Alaska (fishing) and I remember it everyday.
Lots planned this year. Georgia turkey end of march. Oklahoma turkey Mid April, Kentucky turkey mid april. Then Finally going to Mexico and finishing the archery royal slam with my Goulds in May. Then off to Texas in October for Aoudad and Idaho in December for Mountain Lion. 2018 Will be...
I am looking for opinions on this. For those that have videotaped your safari are you happy that you did or would the money have been better spent in another trophy fee? For those that have not but have gone on safari do you wish you had?
Has anyone had taxidermy work done at Trophy Pro SA? I know they do a good job dipping and packing, but I was wondering about actual mounts of the trophies.
Just got my mount back from the taxidermist. Went on a coues deer hunt this year and had opportunities but those deer are difficult with a bow. Did manage to get a javelina. Will probably never hunt them again, but they do make a nice mount
So I need to thank this forum. Had a few tell me what I was experiencing should not happen. Got a light and the guy who I had assemble these apparently put to much epoxy in and it somehow filled the nocks. Not an issue with the fmj
I will let everyone know what I think. I have a set that I have been planning on using this year. I'll take some photos of entrance and exit holes plus blood trails. They will be used on whitetail this season
i do not want to use the Easton dangerous game arrows because I don't like the hit inserts. Does anyone know anyone that builds custom arrows for dangerous game thanks
Looking for a scope preferably keupold vx 3 for a 375 ruger. Let me know if anyone has anything. Thanks. This is for a 375 ruger that I am taking to Africa in two years after buffalo
Little confused. Did you notice a difference when you went from the 22 to the big bore. Or did you notice a difference when you went from shooting the 22 off the bench to now using sticks
This. Get the best pair of 10x42 you can afford for hunting. I have gone through all types of spotting scopes. I now have one of the best and it only comes out on mule deer hunts. My binoculars always go. If you are going to the gun range a 65mm will handle just about anything.
i am beginning to research my next hunt and this typically takes me a few years to do unless I have hunted with the outfitter in the past. I am looking at water buffalo with a bow i have been emailing an outfitter and he states that he averaged 95-105 sci on water buffalo. I am not familiar...
Right now I have a twelve day safari for : Impala, warthog,duiker, springbok, blesbok, kudu, zebra, and eland. I am also bowhunting Cape buffalo and if a truly magnificent sable presents a shot I will take it.
That's why I was thinking of taking the Kuiu gear I have. I do not have zip off pants and all my light weight shirts are either Kuiu or a few Sitka. I am thinking it would be better to take what I have and invest in more powder for shooting.
Yea I used to use Sitka but like Kuiu. I can take two shirts and one pair of pants and spend at least a week in the back country. Figured it should do the job.
Cut my hunting list down quite a bit. This is the essentials I can think of.
3 Kuiu shirts, long sleeve, peloton,
Peloton 240 hoodie
verde
Guide vest
1 Attack pants
1 Tiburon pants
Shooter gloves
Lowa renegade gtx2 boots
4 pair point six merino sock
Hat
Swarovski 8x42 binoculars
Bow. 1...
I have my list somewhat dialed in. I do a lot of backpack hunts and can easily take that gear list down to what I should need. I just need a good pair of boots because my meindls are a bit loud. I am doing both gun and bow. And need to keep on practicing. Keep up the great advice I really...
Lol yea the good thing my wife wants to go when the kids are older. My problem is not the hunt but explaining the taxidermy. Problem with having a wife the hunts is she knows about cost associated with all the different types of mounts.
