Please add your Springbok pictures! Here is mine... My first Springbok taken at 280m with my .270win. He measured 11.6". I can't wait to get the skull and hide back!

A 13" monster and my first!

This chap was a chance encounter whist out stalking Warthog. The land owner had asked is we saw any could we shoot them. I wasn't going to turn it down and when we spotted a group of 20 out feeding my PH guided me onto this chap and i dropped him on the spot at 220m.

My first Impala taken September 2013, on my first African safari on the Eastern cape. He was amongst a herd of 50 strong and took him at 40 yards with a neck shot. He measured 21".

I have hunted them on my trip to SA. We went after them with the dogs and chased a boar for 17KM through the bush. Sadly we never got a shot at mine and many of the dogs were gored/ injured during the chase including the death of one. The dog handler said he had never lost a dog before and...

I'm just looking to collect some information from some of the more experienced hunters/ outfitters on here. I have been thinking about doing a cull buffalo hunt, I do not mind if it is a cow or bull I would just like the experience to as thrilling as possible and for the animal to have that...

That is a very nice trophy indeed! Congratulations to your son. These two species are firmly up on the top of my list.

Thank you for your reply. From what i have read and what you say, they sound like a challenging quarry to stalk. My worry would be is that i shoot with a .270 and i would like to get them caped or even full mounted. What would you recommend as a calibre as not to damage the cape too much? The...

Evening chaps, I am thinking about my 2nd trip the SA next year sometime and am intrigued by the idea of stalking steenbok and duiker. I was wondering if any members could shed some light on what it is like to hunt them and the challenges, etc. I imagine they are similar to Muntjac which we...

Once my dissertation and other university work are all done I shall.

Yes, my friend and i had a great time with Pierre. I hear he may be coming over for the Midlands Game Fair so i hope to catch up with him!

It was in September, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa with Nduna Hunting Safaris.

Merry Christmas everyone! I just wanted to explore some of the thoughts of people on here, about when a trophy is too big! I know this may sound strange to some, and it is not a rant against trophy hunting. I often see pictures of monster animials that have been shot, and im sure the...

Here are some pictures of my first African animal taken in September this year. A friend and I perfromed the drag out of the wadi. Tom

Haha sorry guys, not sure why that has happened... Hopefully one of these is the right way up!

A friend and I had our first hunt to Africa this September, on the East coast of South Africa. Here are some pics of how we got on.... I managed to get a springbok, Impala ram and female, 3 warthog (one measured 13"), a baboon, blesbok and a jackel. Charles managed a nice warthog...

Ok so as i am going to have to do shipping i might take a look at getting the springbok shoulder mounted. I know there are a lot of variables, but what would be a "rough" total cost for say taxidermy work for a shoulder mounted springbok, skull mounted impala and a couple of skins and to then...

Thanks for all your input guys! I think i will have to have it sent over then and see if i can share a crate with someone to cut the costs! Cheers all for the help! Tom

Here is the full email - If this product is for display purposes, is mounted and has undergone a full process of cleaning so it requires no further processing it will be considered a finished product and as such there would be no Animal Health requirements. If it is not a finished...

Perhaps i should clear this up a bit! There will be no animals SKINS being transported, Just skulls that will have been cleaned and bleached and attached to a shield. I have recieved an email from the AHIT when I asked that question. This was there answer If the skull is on a shield...

Thanks all! As i am a student so on a budget, the trophy sprongbok and impala will be skull mounted and all transported back with me in my luggage along with the warthog tusks. I am told by the outfitter i should be all ok to do this!??

A few shots of some of the best British red deer (in velvet) you can find on our island at Euston estate, along with some Roe. Tom

I am going to the east coast, about an hour north of Port Elizabeth. I am hunting for a trophy springbok, impala and warthog then a cull warthog and X2 cull Blesbok and some lamping for jackel. Tom

Hi everyone, I have only just joined the forum with the hope to pick your brains. I am off on my first African adventure to South Africa in September and would appreciate any advice you may have from travelling there, during the hunt, tipping, etc. Cheers, Tom P.S. if you have any...

Thanks very much, Ill do just that :cool: Tom

Thank you for the reply and the information provided. I would be just as happy with a cow buff as i would a trophy bull. Its all about the experience for me, and not counting those half inches. Cheers, Tom

Thanks for the reply, I think Roe are the most beautiful of all the deer species to look at! Im afraid i dont have any high towers on my permission. Its all walk and stalk, i just love the challenge of trying to outwit your quarry. Cheers, Tom

On my own ground i have Roe and Muntjac. Cheers, Tom

Hi Guys, A dream of mine is to do a buffalo hunt. Now i cannot afford a trophy bull but was wondering what the cost would be to shoot a cow buffalo? Cheers, Tom

Hi Guys, By popular demand in my intro here is a load of my hunting pictures from the UK! If anyone has any questions about hunting here, or would like to come over and do it themselves i would be more than happy to help them organize it. I have no ties to any hunting company's, just like to...

Hi Guys, Thank you for the warm response! I will post a thread with a load of UK hunting pictures as soon as I work out which section to put it in. In the Uk I have on my land Roe and Muntjac, with the occasional red. I have hunted Red, Roe, Muntjac, Fallow and CWD so just sika to go for my...

Hi, My name is Tom. I have been involved in field sports since i was 11, and am always finding a reason to take the rifle or shotgun out. I am going to Africa (SA) for the first time this September with a friend and cant wait! Hope to get lots of tips of you all. if you have any interest in...
