welcome I have family in WYO. Hoping to finally draw my ELK tag out there this year in area 32. Only been 15 years of putting in building preference points
Make sure you keep your travel flexible coming from someone who works for airlines. Delta comes back from JNB payload optimized and blocks about 75+ seats every flight. I bought a ticket for my flight both ways. I would have got there but not back. So just a heads up
John was on top of my shipment and getting it cleared my only hold up was it arrived friday evening on a holiday weekend but was cleared at ready tuesday morning after the holiday. would highly recommend them.
If you are intrested in reading about it there is a book called Kill the Boer and it tells all about the Farm Murders and has statistics. Mostly attacked elderly farmers never mentioned game ranches
John at Trophy shippers has been working on my shipment and has been on top of it trying to make sure it is all ready to go when it hits the states next week to hopefully avoid storage fees.
I think international they will hold it. And if it is a buddy pass or employee pass for domestic only a few stations will hold it most send the bag to its destination. That is why I always try to fly with carry on only if I can.
Do not do a buddy pass to JNB unless it you have a back up plan. I been at the company 25 years and i still bought a ticket for my trip last May. I may have got there if I tried a day or to early but definitely would not have gotten back for over a week. The direct flights going from JNB to ATL...
Of course i been putting in for several years to draw in southwest part of wyoming and now will probably end up drawing after all this happens. guess I will find out come May if I do and probably have to put in a bunch of work if I do.
Make sure you specify and have them write it down you want the lower Jaw. I'm going thru a issue at the moment they did not include the lower Jaw of my Giraffe like I asked for.
they did document everything and had skull listed and they said jaw on giraffe was part of skull for euro purpuse to sit on table or shelf. I guess I messed up by not having them list the jaw seperate on that form. The guide never did transfer the jaw to dip and pack when they picked it up...
Wanted to get y’all’s opinion. My last hunt I took a giraffe and when skimming it I asked to make sure lower jaw stayed with it as I wanted it also. They said no problem. I also emailed folks and dip and pack place and they said yes it will be with it as it’s part of skull. Fast forward to now...
just out of curiosity I had my giraffe back hide and a few others tanned over in SA do they come Soft (broken) or do they need softened when I get them?
took my 14 year old son this past year and he is hooked. He definitely wants to go back. He also learned alot about the stuff they say and try and tell you in the states about hunting African game and such is far from the truth he says it was an eye opener and now tells people all the time dont...
Earlier this year my 14 year old son had a spent case he wanted to keep from his first SA animal and they found it. Pulled us aside in line and retrived it from his bag then took my info down and said if it happens again it will be a problem and then released us. Im glad I did not go thru what...
I found out the hard way that there is not much selection once you get thru security. There is places to eat on baggage side but never really looked since i thought I could eat after security.
