34 days until wheels up and so many questions! I am going over for plains game and would like to have animals all done European style. Are there any outfits that will do the entire deal? I am talking dip, pack, and prepare trophies to hang on the wall to my front door without having to deal with 2-3 different companies? What say the experts?
Thanks
 
Capricorn Taxidermy in Polokwane RSA will do everything but the shipping (although they hook you up with Logwin Logistics) and you will still need an import agent.
 
okay thank you so much. It would be so easy if someone offered the whole enchilada ..............
I really believe that the hunting community would go for the one stop shop idea.

First off Africa is a large area so where are you going to be hunting?

There are numerous shops that will take care of everything but if you are hunting in the north it won't make sense to recommend a shop in the south. You also might want to talk to your outfitter, they should know of shops in the area that they will take the heads to.
 
Good Luck on you Safari and don't forget to take lots of Pics
 
I used Bulleye Taxidermy in Vaalwater in the Limpopo province. I was very pleased with their work.

As far as shipping and customs they are all separate but bulleye coordinated the different companies. It was a simple as an email and paying with a credit card.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
