    Back skins? Black wildebeest?

    Limpopo Export Permit issues

    It is frustrating trying to deal with the matter. Africans don't do business like the western world and it seems they don't feel communications or updates are important nor having a timely response to questions. I have animals from June 2024 from the same outfitter and taxidermist that are in...

    Limpopo Export Permit issues

    Is anyone having difficulty getting their finished taxidermy from hunts in Limpopo to have export paperwork approved? I have finished plains game, nothing CITIES but a warthog and monkey involved, and am going on 2 years since the hunt and a few months of waiting on paperwork. I have heard...

    Is the Gemsbok coming back to Limpopo?

    I have seen a number of pricelists in Limpopo as well as other areas and the price was inline with most outfitters. I was there in 2023 as well and the price hadn't changed.

    Is the Gemsbok coming back to Limpopo?

    I was in that general area of Limpopo in June and took a nice Gemsbuck, saw several on a few properties the outfitter has and most of our group saw several, but I was the only one in our group who connected.

    Hunt expectations, how many animals?

    I went on my 1st hunt in April 2023 with my son in Limpopo. My main target in the package was Kudu. We booked a 10 day hunt 6 animal hunt with the plan to split it up and I’d see what else we ran across but had a few animals I hoped to take in addition. Kudu was very eleusive and after 5 days...

    2nd safari with Warthog safaris in Limpopo Last year I took my son to Africa on our 1st safaris and hunted with Warthog Safaris. We had a great hunt and I really enjoyed the place that I booked a follow up hunt this year and just returned June 12. This year's hunt was June 1 through 11. I...

    Shoulder vs Euro Mount

    I am pondering this as well as I am off for a second trip at the end of May. I have a massive alaska moose done as a euro that is probably my favorite mount. I've done multiple white tails and pronghorn as euro mounts and really like them. I want certain species as a shoulder but what is nice...

    Importing - Safari Specialty Importers

    I've been reading over a number of threads on the forum trying to decide on an importer for my finished work from a safari of April of last year. I have spoke with a few and am leaning toward Safari Specialty Importers as they have worked with my outfitter and taxidermist and I like that they...

    Hunt over water; Shoot from truck

    Went on my 1st trip last April with my son. We are upper midwest hunters and I have done hunts ranging from North Dakota whitetails, Manitoba black bears, Oregon elk, Alaska moose to caribou in Quebec. All of these hunts varied from blinds and bait to your typical foot hunts. The majority of...

    Long haul seat selection

    Since I am diamond I don't have to pay for C+ :) I'd rather fly up front but who can justify 16k for the delta one seat.

    Long haul seat selection

    I generally prefer the aisle as I like to get up and stretch but last time over I got 7 hours of shut eye and the window will be nice to curl up against...No way in hell will I ever take a middle seat! Ha!

    Long haul seat selection

    Flying Delta 200/201 to/from JNB in May (2nd time on this route) and curious what you all prefer on long haul....Aisle or window. I get free comfort+ at booking and its either window or middle, or sit back in main cabin with plenty of options. Although its minimal the extra leg room is nice...

    Traveling with a minor child

    I am going over with a group in June and one member is bringing her daughter without the other parent. I have read conflicting things about South Africa's requirements of a minor child traveling with one parent and if a consent letter is needed and their government form. It would be nice to...
