I was lucky enough to encounter and take an African porcupine with my bow on my last trip hunting with Limcroma Safaris. I finally got the mount back... It's definately the most unusual mount that I have and probably my new favorite.... Some asked to post pics when I got it, so here they are.....

I would have taken one if I saw one. Maybe next time. Deff makes a neat mount
 
Interesting mount. Talented taxidermist to get that done safely.

Scary to have all those pointy barbs at my eye level though.
 
Great mount.
 
Great mount I'm going to keep my eye open for one on my next hunt in May. Thanks for posting
 
Great mount and hope to have one this year...

Last year in South Africa we saw about 13 porcupines and shot one and it blew quills every where.

Need a smaller rifle this year and looking to use the PH's 22 mag.

What did you use a 338?
 
They must of used a big pin cushion to ship him :)

Way cool!
 
Very unique mount, great conversation piece.
 
Very cool mount. It sure looks different then the porcupines we have here in Wisconsin.
Don't let it throw its quills at you :sarcasm::joke:

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

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

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
