Agree, the first shooter said when he shot the buck it jumped and kicked making him think he made a good shot. But quickly realized what happened after he saw the evidence.

I’m upfront with my PH and I discuss what I’m looking for with him. I’m more of an age and shape guy than an inches guy. I also look at tons of pictures of animals and decide what looks best to me. For instance I like narrow kudu with decent depth to the curls over wide kudu with the same curls...

Are you going to look for another outfitter for a Wolverine, I would probably have to try for a lynx as well. Good luck!

One thing about the tips, in Mozambique we would hand the staff their tips to the staff in an envelope and then the staff would take a little for pocket money but give the majority to the resident PH to hold for them until the end of the year. Truthfully money did them no good as we were at...

Which taxidermist did the work for you?

Oddly enough, an incident in Northern California is what prompted my question. In 1989 I was hunting black tails in the Yolla Bollas. I had already killed my buck so I was along with my friend when a buck came sneaking by. He killed the buck and while we were gutting the buck another guy came...

That’s an outfitter I would like to hunt with’

Not sure if they still do but you may be able to work something out. Marromeu Safaris Troy Ginn, Jennifer Ginns father in law from @TRAVEL EXPRESS is their booking agent (as of 2 years ago) I have lost some contact with them when my old friend Paul Fierra passed away.

Coutada 10 in Mozambique used to advertise a 10 day TT safari for give or take $10000. It included trophy fees for 4 tiny tens, pick out of red duiker, blue duiker, bush duiker, suni, oribi and sharpes grysbok. I saw multiple shooters of all except bush duiker and grysbok but I did see good ones...

Interesting, going to have to think on that one for a while!

Most of the geese I’ve seen have been Egyptian and spur winged. I think I saw a couple of Pygmy geese in Mozambique but we were too far for proper identification.

I’m scheduled to hunt birds in the Limpopo next year. They told me they hunt francolin, guinea fowl, some doves and may be able to find some waterfowl dependent on if the seasons are in when we arrive. Exactly one year from today. I need to research if there’s a good bird taxidermist there...

Walz also said one of the reasons he didn’t send in the National Guard into Minneapolis was because all’s they would get was 19 year old cooks in many cases. Doesn’t sound like he has an ounce of respect for his old organization.

@AndreZA , if you ever got my wife in that lodge she would never leave! Zebra on the porch and giraffe out the windows. Her most favorite 2 animals in Africa . Not to mention probably wanting to catch a mongoose and smuggle it home.

You must have been in the savanna hunting LDE?

Can we see the taxidermy?

Thank you sir as always

Is the UA capable to protect their flanks on a front so narrow and long? Or are the Russians incapable to attack because of depleted troop and armor strength?

I’ve written of this before, my biggest hunting regret is not pursuing the TT earlier. I’ve been able to take a common duiker, steenbok and klipspringer. On my very first safari I had opportunities to shoot red and blue duiker, oribi, suni and Sharpes grysbok but at that time I only had eyes...

I took a little break from the political thread and have spent the last hour catching up. Seems like I walked into a pissing match. Pretty interesting for sure! Makes for good entertainment.

I don’t mind it if the neighbor start walking around a bit , they will often get the deer moving again and many times in my direction

My experience also @Rare Breed , on guided big game hunts it’s always been, if you draw blood you pay for it. Heck I even count lost game birds in my limit. It will be interesting how others say about it.

In many parts of the world and even regions of the country; how are wounded animals handled? Is it whomever draws first blood or the person that finishes off the animal? Not necessarily in a PH client situation but on a deer hunt . I would always finish off a duck or goose if it had...

You are so spot on! I used to fish the Chatooga river in South Carolina. Lots of liberated rainbows and a few brown with an old 2 weight. If I got down river far enough the trout were pretty wild and colorful.

I would like to see the taxidermy as well, especially any birds or small full body predator mounts.

What tails did he use? The black wildebeest and the nyala or hartebeest or kudu?

Yes it is!

Not a problem, hell of a good waterbuck in your profile picture!

@Tim Blackwell , can you give us a rundown on how you make the termite mounds? I got a termite mound from McKenzie taxidermy supply here in the states for my blesbok and would like to give it ago to make one for a future mount of an impala.

@Jared640, it seems you took my post personally, I apologize for that. When the subject of Kuche comes up on this forum it brings out all kinds of responses. As this thread has elicited. That was the reason for the comparison. Probably more favorable than negative. My wife’s cousin hunted with...

Totally agree, when the domestic carriers stopped shipping them I sent outlining conservation to them and got crickets in return

I went and read up on it last night. Amazing story

They haven’t transported big five internationally since 2015 or so, since the Cecil debacle. That why most big 5 are brought over by Turkish airlines.

The Germans hid a cruiser up a river somewhere. I think Richard Meitzenberger was responsible for locating it so the allies could sink it. WW1

@Pondoro , one last thing about this. To me there is something fundamentally wrong not to mention un-democratic about someone being installed as a candidate and not voted in.

So when are you going to post them? On my computer it just says Ontario Hunter. But I’m pretty much computer illiterate. Not to derail but how did your dogs health turn out. I seem to remember she was injured or ill?

It’s a long running thread on here. My wife has a cousin that hunted with Kuche and had a wonderful time.

We may have found a new Kuche safaris.

Hey @Ontario Hunter , he has the same amount of personal info as you do! I’m Not serious, I’m just messing with you. It took me 3 years to figure out how to get that on here. It does seem somewhat suspect though.

He can support EV’s all he wants but he won’t MANDATE everyone has one. The dems will

He was 60 and she was 30. If Trump was not a threat to this administration he never would have been prosecuted. I’m not voting for a preacher I’m voting for someone to lead the country out of the morass we’re in. Clinton had piss poor morals but was a decent president as was Kennedy. As for...

First I’m not a cool aid drinking Trump supporter. The prosecution was 100% politically motivated. What lies are you talking about, he’s a politician, they ALL lie. As far as taking classified documents, he was entitled to some if he declassified them, Biden took them as a senator and...

How did you remedy the fixture problem on the lamps? Gun case and lamps are great!

Let us know how this turns out.

Yep, back in 2014 Mozambique was a war scarred country. All of the older buildings still showed bullet pock marks, especially the old airbase in Beira and flying low around the country you could still make out mortar and artillery shell holes. They were slowly filling in but we’re still evident...

This would be a great adventure, take a 60 plus foot sport fisher and fish your way across the Atlantic and work down the west coast of Africa to your safari and shoot back across the Atlantic to Brazil and up the east coast of South America, Central America and Mexico into the Gulf of Mexico...

Without a doubt, been working on it since I stepped foot on the charter on my way home!

It was my first trip and I wasn’t sure about the legality of it. I should’ve done it and played ignorant. Which I was!

I want to get back to the EC as well, hunt blue duiker by the ocean and another cape bushbuck. Also want to hunt a vallie and cape grysbok. Not to thrilled about hunting the grysbok at night but unless you’re REALLY lucky that’s what you have to do if you want one.

I’m with you on this, I had the opportunity to bring back some liberated poachers spears from Mozambique back in 2014. Wasn’t sure of the legality so I declined. Turns out I probably could’ve just cut them to fit in my rifle case and brought them home.
