    Paul, My guess is you were part of whomever stole or hacked my profile and was scamming people. The site admin has been made aware of the posts, locked out my account so I could reset it and has taken down what was going on. I hope you didn't get burned too bad Charles

    South African Revenue service Traveler Declaration

    I Just flew Delta April 30. I filled out the form and didn't declare any amount even though I had cash. I didn't go through Delta's required item button on the web/app, just bypassed it and it did nothing there either. There was no red line/green line, the immigration line was the same as it...

    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.

    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...

    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.
