The first photo is of some custom cabinets inlaid with Zebra hide and Warthog tusk cabinet pulls. The second photo is an Oryx horn gun rack. Both are beautifully done. Photos were taken from my safari in Namibia with Otjiruze.
Gemsbok and Warthog from Namibia hunted with Otjiruze. The Gemsbok was on the last day after hunting hard for 4 days looking for a big mature bull! To finally get him was so rewarding. The Warthog was by chance. My PH and I were walking and caught this beautiful boar coming out of a den!

Ottea Taxidermy here in my hometown of San Antonio did a phenomenal job on my taxidermy and I couldn’t be happier.
Kristen and the team were a pleasure to deal with and their pricing was the most economical I found...
Good evening everyone,
I have a trip planned to the UK towards the end of May and looking to sneak away from family for a few days and get some hunting in.
If anyone can point me in the direction of some reputable outfitters/ estates that you or someone you know has had experience with would...
I like your vision!
Zeiss Diatal-C 4x32 on my M77 22 Hornet. I picked this scope up on gunbroker a couple years ago. Have seen some on 24hrcampfire and **NOT**PERMITTED** in the past as well!
Look forward to seeing what you mount on yours!
Love my 28! It's a lot of fun on dove and quail hunts here in South Texas!
I received it after my Grandfather passed several years ago. The shotgun itself is nothing special, a sub $800 Kassnar Windsor SXS he bought at a gun show, but I enjoy getting out in the field with it and remembering him.
I’ve done a private chef gig at a ranch here in South Texas.
Every ranch runs meals differently but from my experience here’s a layout:
Early morning when hunters are going out is usually just coffee and a pastry. Real breakfast doesn’t happen till after the morning hunt. You can opt for...
@dchum is the oracle. A truly seasoned Nilgai hunter. Your .375 will do great with the right bullet. If you want a new gun just for the trip to make new memories with the base model Bregara .30-06 we used got the job done well.
Can’t wait to see pics from your trip! You will have a great time...
Thank you for the reply. For the number of hunters would definitely need to be a 2:1. The goal would be to send off non hunters for a 4-5 day trip in country see wildlife areas, museums, wine country etc. and then meet up with everyone at camp for the last 3 days. Those three days is where we’d...
My good friend @dchum has hunted with Phillip twice and speaks very highly of Khomas Highlands Safaris. I was supposed to join him this last time around but life happens and was not able to make the trip.
I may be wrong but feel Namibia is not a great option for the lack of non hunter...
I know large group trips are not the norm when it comes to hunting Africa so hoping to get some insight as to the feasibility of one. Potential total group size is 20-25 people with around 10 people hunting.
For some background… my father is one of six kids and they all had the privilege to go...
Actually has an old Zeiss Diatal-C 4x marked West Germany… incredibly bright scope. Have shot Winchester Super X out of it and it’s right at an inch at 50 yards. Need to test some other ammo as @dchum mentioned and stretch its legs out to 100 yards.
Your local gun shops can’t compete within their necessary margins to buy classic rifles with a “for sale by owner” on any number of the websites like GB and GI.
I got to do a guided tour of Windhoek at the end of my safari before departing back to the US. I was exhausted after being in Africa for over three weeks at this point but was glad I did it. I was able to see all of the major historical buildings and got to grab lunch at a local restaurant. In...
IMO it is worth investing in some quality shooting sticks and practicing with them every chance you get before your safari. I went on my first safari to South Africa and Namibia this past summer and 9 of the 10 trophies I hunted I used my own sticks. Getting comfortable with your equipment is...
