Lets see where to start. My name is Joe, I have been hunted since I was around 14. I did 23 years in the US Army, I am now retired living in upstate NY.
I am a full time taxidermist having fun and doing something that I enjoy doing. My wife is still currently in the military and has about 3 years left until she
can retire.

I have hunted quite a few animals in the states and Canada and now want to poke around a little in Africa.

Thank You
Joe
 
welcome and enjoy the site joe
being a taxidermist youve alredy saved half the cost of your first african adventure.
id love to see some of your work mate
 
Welcome Joe

Hope you will have fun on AH and get all the info you need to plan that first trip to Africa. share us some pictures of your work if you don't mind.

Regards
 
Welcome Lots of good guys here to help answer any questions No such thing as a dumb question here. Show us some pics of your work? We'd all like to see them
 
Welcome to AH.
If you start poking around here you will be in Africa sooner than you think.

Good luck.
 
Welcome to AH, Joe !
 
Welcome to AH Joe!
 
I do not know if I am allowed to post pictures, I am new to the forum and do not want to step on any toes. I joined because I like doing research before I pull the trigger so do not want to get a beat down the first day.

I posted two of the first African that I mounted, I bought the cape and horns. I did not feel right trying to learn the anatomy on someones trophy of a lifetime.

All moderators if I am not allowed to post a picture of the work please remove it and I meant no harm!!!!

Thanks
Joe

Posting pictures getting you in trouble.
NOT if they have anything to do with hunting and Africa.
The more the merrier.
Everyone knows, my first call is always where are the pictures? Please post them along with your hunting reports.

Hotfire - will not be going to harrisburg, I am in Italy right now spending some time with the Mrs, she is stationed over here and we have a four year old daughter so I try and spend two months here and two months in NY. It is hard when the family is split up.

Bobpuckett - Thank You.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
