Bongo With A Bow In Central African Republic With LEFOL SAFARIS

Congratulations on your beautiful bongo trophy from the CAR. Good luck with the logistics in getting your trophies back to the USA.

For comparison purposes and with complete respect for your situation, I hunted with Northern Operations Africa in May 2024 in southern Cameroon. My crate containing my bongo and forest sitatunga capes and horns is already in Paris and is scheduled for flying to the Chicago airport this week.

I am happy with NOA and nine (9) months shipment is quick service and turnaround for African jungle trophies. My salted leopard hide and skull from Botswana took over 19 months and arrived in Chicago earlier this month.

Just thinking out loud, some unknown CAR government authority may be demanding a substantial undocumented “early cash Christmas bonus” to get the trophies processed and shipped. I am not advocating any illegal activity but cash is definitely king in Africa. I got tired of being “hit up” for cash money by almost everyone while in Doula.

Good luck again and happy hunting, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
