African taxidermy a transferable skill?

Not to upset any companies who advertise on this great site but from personal experience and from the many threads on this and many sites I recommend having taxidermy done in NA. I do have a couple mounts to substantiate that view, seeing recent mounts posted here done in SA supports that decision today.

I would also think that the large US taxidermy supply houses have a far larger selection of forms made from the correct foam and all anatomically correct, best part most are available.

With current shipping I would guess costs are nearly the same.

With all trades there are good and bad, pick your taxidermist wisely, you will be looking at the finished product for years.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
