    Trophy room lighting - LED question

    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

    Trophy room lighting - LED question

    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)

    Is there a best way to handle a poor African 1st experience and move on?

    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...

    Is there a best way to handle a poor African 1st experience and move on?

    Sorry to hear that. My feeling is if there is something like that it would be the ph responsibility to point out not to shoot a certain animal

    Guaranteed hunts

    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...

    Videotaping safaris

    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.

    Javelina

    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

    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

    Help about Spotting Scope

    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.

    How do you Pass time before safari

    That is a very good point. I think I will invest in some zip off pants and maybe two lightweight shirts and leave my technical gear home

    How do you Pass time before safari

    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.

    How do you Pass time before safari

    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.

    How do you Pass time before safari

    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.
