    Carpathian Chamois (Romania) – Exclusive Subspecies Hunt

    This is a great hunt. I was there last November and saw lots of Chamois. The mountains there are not difficult to traverse and Marius has great areas.

    current shipping quotes from Africa for air and sea rates

    I just spoke with the people in the Chicago Coppersmith office…what they communicated is they have a coppersmith owned warehouse. Once the trophies arrive there from the airport you will not accrue the crazy storage fees. It’s when the trophies are at the airport itself is where/when the...

    Mid Asian Ibex Outfitter Recommendation

    It’s worth it when you are wanting your trophies home after they’ve been sitting in camp for 6 months and the back and forth with some Kyrgy thru google chat isn’t going how you want. Use and agent and coppersmith for Asia. Africa, Europe, and South Pacific a guy can deal with operators...

    Mid Asian Ibex Outfitter Recommendation

    Go thru profihunt or Niel & Brownlee. Profi provides excellent hunts at a fair price. They are Moscow based company but if that bothers you then Neil & Brownlee would be a good alternative. I’ve booked with Profi and they’re great. Friends just got back from their Russia brown bear hunts...

    Do Not Use Safari Specialty Importers

    I spoke to Jared and Conservation force last week. I’d feel comfortable with either. Their prices were inline with each other and I’d feel confident with either to get the paperwork done and approved in and expedient manner.

    Do Not Use Safari Specialty Importers

    He has gotten really bad. It’s unfortunate. The first couple of times I used him years ago he was pretty good. But your story is not unusual. My taxidermist has been proactively telling clients to not use him.

    BOTSWANA: Bokamoso Safari In The Kalahari

    @bwanamrm Good to know about the Airlink issue. I wonder if that is for all flights returning back to the US via Joberg from other African destinations or just the location you were at.

    Shipping question

    Yes Husband/wife or Parent/child. I think some operators will try to separate so as to make more $ on the D&P.

    Zambia operators/GMA’s offering Cooksons

    Which operators/GMAs offer good huntable Cooksons numbers? I know some may have 1 on quota but I’m interested in this as one of my main species within the hunt.

    Africa...when will you be priced out??

    My friend would love to hunt bongo in the forest of Cameroon. My friend has a $100k pickup. He trades her out about every 3-4 years. He hunts deer on state ground and when he gets an invite from someone at their lease. I would love a new truck. I hunted bongo last year and drive a Toyota...

    Lefol Expelled from SCI

    Thank you for sharing this information. I’m sorry you had a bad experience but appreciate you bringing it to the attention of other traveling hunters.

    Most Coveted Animal in Africa?

    Currently Mtn Nyala closely followed by wild lion. I love the spiral horns. Last year I was fortunate to take a 31” bongo and huge Forrest sitatunga which was an incredible experience. In 2022 I took a LDE on day 10/12 and it was the greatest hunt I’ve done to date. I don’t wish to repeat...

    Yessir and I respond with equal respect. We as traveling hunters are lucky to have sites like this to gather information. I hope your 2026 hunting season is the best yet. This was several years ago so I do not have the hard numbers but i do recall I could of went back to hunt again for the...

    I’m glad to hear you’ve had good experiences and you’ve seen value in the service. Some feel differently and that is fine also. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Have a good 2026 season.

    hunting greenland

    The name of the taxidermist in Copenhagen is First Class Trophy. Apparently other operators around Europe will send client trophies to them, WTA does I know, but I have outright refused my stuff to go thru them from any location I hunt solely due to the theft that is the Greenland situation.

    hunting greenland

    I took it off because I realized it wasn’t what the OP asked about. But since you asked and in an effort to help educate future victims… anytime I see someone asking about hunting Greenland it strikes a nerve as they royally bend you over on the taxidermy prep to get trophy’s home due to only...

    Best and Worst Shipping Agents to Use in RSA

    Off the beaten path, Uganda vs Cameroon

    I’ve done both forest and Savannah in Cameroon for the primary big species with JKO. I loved both. I intend on returning to the Savanah to pick up the species I didn’t take the first time…roan, heartebeest, oribi, reedbuck and a few others, maybe python…then Forrest for buffalo and elephant at...

    Kyrgyzstan Outfitter Recommendations

    I’m sure they provide good hunts and the pricing looks very competitive until you see a lot of the extra they throw in that falls under the standard price of the hunt for most agents.

    Kyrgyzstan Outfitter Recommendations

    Profihunt or Niel & Brownlee would be safe bets for professionally ran and quality hunts for most all Asian species. N&B are based out of Oklahoma but have been around forever and do a great job all over the world. Profihunt is out of Moscow but attends all our major shows including sheep...

    Anyone recommend an Outfit for Ocellated Turkey and Brockett deer?

    I was there a month ago and didn’t have a single issue and never felt uneasy. I landed in Cancun, was picked up by the outfitter and We drove 6 hours south to the jungle. It was a great experience and I’ll go back again soon to focus on turkeys. I wouldn’t hesitate to go again.

    Anyone recommend an Outfit for Ocellated Turkey and Brockett deer?

    Peninsula Hunters, Mario Camara. They have an incredible operation. +1 (210) 322-4425. I just got back from there and got greybrown and a red brocket. The guy likely gets his clients more red brockets that any other outfitter ever. He has a good team also which I think helps. Super nice...

    Greenland Caribou hunt timing

    I hunted with Karsten this past Sept, end of the month. I’d say it’s a good time to be there. Everyone in camp killed both species. Musk ox are not much of a challenge but neat critters. He had major issues with the helicopter company…I’d be really cautious booking the helicopter hunt. He’s...

    In memoriam - Safari workers killed by poachers in Cameroon

    The Savannah area has many risks beyond poachers. It’s sad as I loved my time there but I can see opportunity dwindling in that region as the years go by. Hunting is likely the only thing keeping the region afloat.

    Going to SCI Nashville to book Buffalo/Sable hunt in SA for 2025. Is this too late to book a hunt?

    While your there talk to Jacques at @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS. I hunted Cameroon with him in 2023 and am headed back to hunt again with him in 2025. Hard working and honest. You won’t go wrong. I intend on taking my entire family at some point as well.
